  • Ottomans for Family Play Area

    Funded Nov 7, 2022

    Unfortunately the ottomans were not available and couldn't be purchased from the store I chose.

    I was able to put your donations to good use by instead getting materials to help with making calm down cases for my students who need to have a break from moments of frustration. I was also able to purchase healthy snacks and other much needed materials.

    Thank you for all the help you've provided. Words aren't enough to express what this means to my students.Please continue to support educators.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Destine

  • Hydration, Hygiene & Healthy!

    Funded Oct 5, 2022

    I honestly can't thank you enough. The selflessness you have displayed as you donated to my cause, it means so much to me. None of this is for me personally...I am just one of many trying to make a difference in children's lives. When a student enters my office and ask me for something, something they need and I can say "yes...YES I have it. Here you are"., it brings me so much joy.

    I hope you continue to pay it forward as will I as I continue to help my students grow their minds, build their confidence and let them know people care. The world isn't all bad and they are loved, even by people who have never met them...The impact of community.

    So again I thank you. We thank you.”

  • Social Emotional Reading

    Funded Jul 29, 2022

    I came into this school with nothing and no budget to buy anything. Teaching students about feelings they feel, exploring how those feelings can impact their actions...having a book to read that provides similar life situations they can relate to, that was important to me. I cannot express my gratitude enough. The students love when I read to them. It is the highlight of my daily sessions with my students. I look at reading as teaching in a fun way. Especially when exploring EMOTIONS!

    You all have made this possible for me. And I honestly do not feel saying thank you is enough to show my appreciation. Just know I have dedicated myself to making sure each student I encounter, I will provide the upmost care and respect toward their journey of learning. Thank you.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Destine

  • CALMing Corner

    Funded Jun 10, 2022

    I'm in awe at how in such a short time my space has felt like a safe haven for my students. I didn't have a corner to use, so I created a calming station using the materials you all have helped me to get. Thank you. Thank you for thinking of my students and their needs.

    As we continue through this school year and more students have the opportunity to visit the counselor's office, I am sure the space will serve its purpose. Warm, welcoming and most of all Calming.

    The most sincerest thank you.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Destine
