Success Starts with our Supplies!
Funded Jul 19, 2023Thank you so much for the generous donation. This impacts my class greatly. The majority of my students are unable to purchase school supplies and at the beginning of the year my students were only able to bring me a few box of pencil and I was worried I was going to have to buy all the supplies myself.
Because of your generosity my students have an abundance of pencils. This lessens issues of students not completing their assignments. My students walk in everyday and they know they are able to get any supplies they need to be successful in class.
We are able to do more projects because every students has a glue stick and access to colors. Thank you for all you have done to serve our class.”

This classroom project was brought to life by Kleenex and one other donor.Organized and Successful!
Funded Nov 2, 2022Thank you so much for the support. My kids have definitely benefitted from your generosity. Your funding went towards purchasing each of my students a supply bucket. With the buckets students keep all their supplies in them. My students are responsible for a folder with all their work, an interactive notebook and a supply bag with all their pencils and highlighters. I love that students are keeping track of their own materials. They are learning a valuable lesson of responsibility before they get to middle school.”

This classroom project was brought to life by Houston Endowment and one other donor.Organized and Optimistic
Funded Oct 31, 2022Thank you so much for your generosity. In my classroom we use these supplies everyday. Each students has their own bucket which holds their folders with all their classwork, their interactive notebook and their pencils. Before each student had a place to put their supplies my room was chaos. Their supplies were constantly getting lost and they would have to start work over. Now that we have supply buckets each student is responsible for their own work. This has taught the students valuable lessons.”

This classroom project was brought to life by Houston Endowment and one other donor.Supplies for Success
Funded Jul 22, 2022Thank you so much for providing us with supplies for the year! At the beginning of the school year I was able to pass out all supplies needed to each student. Each student got their own pencil bag with pencils, erasers, highlighters, and headphones. They were excited that they all got their supplies right away and it was very helpful for me that they all had the exact same thing. Many parents reached out to me to also say thank you because this took a burden off of them. We have all the supplies organized in bins and they are able to go grab what they need! This was a huge help!”

This classroom project was brought to life by General Motors and 4 other donors.Comfy Couch for Cool Readers!
Funded May 23, 2022Thank you so much for the couch that was donated to our classroom! In our classroom I have set up a small library and the kids loved to sit around the room to read. Before they were just sitting on the rug or on the floor but now they can move the cushions around and all sit together in a comfortable space. During indoor recess they love to make a fort with it and it is so awesome to see their creativity and what they can do with it. When they first saw it they were so excited to get to read on it. This has definitely help motivate them to read!”

Flying Carpet Taking Us on Adventures!
Funded Jun 3, 2022Thank you so much for the donation! In my classroom I am using the rug at my classroom library. It is such a good way to make it feel cozy and like it is its own space. The kids love to gather on the rug and read together. y
The students are using the stools at my small group table. They are so much easier to use than chairs. They take up less room and allow me to fit more kids at my small group.
Both items donated are such a big help to make my classroom feel more comfortable.
When the students first came into my classroom they immediately loved all the items and were eager to use them.”

Making Learning Exciting and Engaging!
Funded Feb 19, 2022Thank you so much for helping our students. By giving this gift I have been able to buy fun activities that I was unable to create myself.
From this donation I have been able to buy lots of task cards that students use during stations. I love using these because they provide students with independence. They can complete these short tasks on their own. This helps build their confidence which allows them to be more engaged in class. When they are confident in the material they feel comfortable in class to be open and share their answers. I can then do more fun projects and the students can create more!”
