Engaging Education!
Funded Nov 8, 2023I was so excited when I found out that this STEM project was funded. It meant that students would be able to experience some well-crafted STEM lessons that could easily be incorporated into our classroom without my need to spend endless hours researching and creating lesson plans. As a busy teacher, your generosity saved me time and put smiles on the faces of over 40 students.
Honestly, I wish I could have fully captured their joy and you could have seen their faces! For example, one STEM task they participated in was creating a zipline to smoothly transport the most amount of marbles. Students were up out of their seats and working as teams, like real engineers going through a step by step design process. They were extremely engaged in the task challenge, and having so much fun, that they solved their own problems and we had an optimal learning environment.
Your donation is truly appreciated, as it will help students learn for years to come.”

Funded Sep 6, 2023I want to take a few minutes to reach out to you and let you know how grateful I am to you for helping fund my first project for students. Your donation to our classroom has made an incredible difference in the daily learning of students.
Students use the cushions we were able to purchase in a variety of ways to help them be more comfortable as they learn math, science, social studies, and other important life skills. They use them on top of shorter stools as they come closer to the instruction, on the floor to sit more comfortably during instruction and small group work time, and on their desk chairs to increase their comfort when needed.
I wish you could have seen the students when the cushions arrived. They had the biggest smiles on their faces and were asking to use them immediately. Almost all students wanted to sit closer to me during lessons that first week (and still now), because they wanted to use the new cushions. The opportunity to use a cushion has motivated students, helping students to come closer together when they are collaborating. Thank you for being so thoughtful and supporting the children in our community. I truly appreciate your generous gift to our classroom.”
