    There are no words to express our gratitude. Our classroom is thrilled to be receiving these wonderful materials and many classes to come will also enjoy!

  • Small Group Seating

    Funded Mar 15, 2024

    My class has appreciated our new chairs! This has helped our classroom have more space at our table and the students really enjoy picking a color! The chairs have also created a safer environment for our students to learn in small groups, due to our old chairs breaking. I am very excited to have these chairs for years to come and for many students to enjoy them! The weighted dog was such a comforting new friend for my students to have. We have names him Brownie and he loves helping students calm their bodies and bring joy to their days!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Podkulski

  • New Year-New Books

    Funded Feb 8, 2024

    My students are incredibly thankful for our new book bins. They are so excited to have a special place for their books and off of their desk. These bins have helped our classroom stay organized and books kept safe.

    The hardcover books that were donated are all about inclusion and belonging. My students were overjoyed to see that we have new fancy books! Some students even took it upon themselves and asked if they could read the books out loud to the class. It is amazing to see the excitement they get from reading new books.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Podkulski

  • Supplies for Success!

    Funded Sep 17, 2023

    My students are more than thrilled to receive the items we asked for. Our new flexible seating has helped so many students focus and get excited about sitting around the room. The lap desks are our favorite! Students are able to continue their learning out of their seats. Students also have been very excited to read the new stories we received.

    We cannot thank you enough for your generosity and kindness. Our classroom is brighter and happier each day! We have been working very hard this year and thanks to your donation students are excited to be in the classroom!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Podkulski
