  • We Need Chargers and Masks!

    Funded Jan 30, 2022

    Thank you so much for purchasing these supplies for us. We were really struggling to stay healthy in one of the most dangerous months of the pandemic and these masks kept us safe and healthy when it was not at all guaranteed.

    The chargers allowed my students to work at my stations without the risk of losing all their work due to faulty chromebooks. Many of the ones IPS was using at the time were a bit unpredictable unless they were plugged in. This was critical to our success! Thank you so so much!”

  • Reading A-Z for Developmental Literacy!

    Funded Jul 18, 2023

    This program has been instrumental in teaching my students to read. I cannot express my gratitude for how much this program has allowed me to pick high quality, full color books at any level.

    These books have helped my students grow from a PK reading level to well into 2nd grade and it would not have been possible without this program.

    Thank you again and thank you for caring about Newcomer students in Indiana. They are brilliant and with your generous donation and their hard work, we have done truly amazing things.”

  • Help Newcomers Color Their World!

    Funded Aug 17, 2022

    This printer has completely changed our classroom. I am able to print classroom inspirational posters in the classroom, provide them to students, and print activities in color. Students are much more engaged with full color photos to look at and engage with. It has been so important especially to my developmental reading students. Thank you so much for your support in this project and of my projects in general. I could not do the impactful work that I do without your support. Thank you for this printer. It has made quite the difference.”

  • My Afghan Students Need Books!

    Funded Aug 11, 2022

    I am so grateful to have had these books funded for my Afghan students. This continues to be a growing population at my school and having authentic resources for them to read and engage with is very important. These students often struggle tremendously with cultural shock and it is hard for them to adjust. Anything familiar, even just the appearance of Farsi and Pashto has been very reassuring. Some of the bilingual books I have been teaching to all my classes and it has been good for all of us.”

When I came to this school, there were about 14 newcomers that had received no ESL support due to the lack of an ESL teacher. I am so excited to work with these students and they are so eager to learn but I don't have enough books in Spanish to properly support them! These books will provide my students with the literacy tools they need to improve their reading in both English and Spanish! These books will help my entire caseload and hopefully develop their ability to read in every language they speak.
