• Volleyballs for Students

  Funded Dec 1, 2024

  Thank you for donating volleyballs to my volleyball club! The girls were thrilled to see brand-new balls to play with, and they were put to great use. As a result, our team improved tremendously and even made it to the playoffs in our school district. It was amazing to witness their progress, teamwork, and dedication throughout the season. Unfortunately, they lost their first playoff game, but they gained so much more—friendship, confidence, and valuable skills that will stay with them beyond this season.”

• School Counselor Necessities

  Funded Dec 22, 2023

  Thank you for donating to my school counselor necessities project. The supplies/accessories have made my office more welcoming and fun. The wireless keyboard and mouse have been super helpful as it allows me to easily work anywhere on my desk without having cables all up in my space. The fidgets are always a hit with my students, as they love using them in class to distract themselves from anxious feelings. The oil diffuser is also a student favorite, they love coming into my office and smelling calming lavender scents. Additionally, the whiteboard and corkboard have come in handy for posting inspiring quotes or important deadlines and school events.

  Thank you so much for your donation.”

• Let's Clean Our Streets!

  Funded Nov 28, 2023

  Thank you for donating to my grant. My GEMS girls were eager to clean their community and thankfully with your donations, we had the opportunity to buy brooms, garbage pickers, gloves, and trash bags.

  Once the package arrived, my girls wanted to head outside and clean the streets around our school. We were able to pick up plastic, trash, and leaves. The difference was astonishing as my girls went down each block picking up all the trash.

  Thanks to your donations we were able to make a difference in our community and bond over a great cause.”

• Snacks for Hungry Middle School Students

  Funded Nov 19, 2023

  Thank you for donating to my snacks grant. My students now have access to various snacks and don't have to go through the school day with an empty stomach. My students often complain that their stomachs start growling because they leave their homes without eating breakfast or come to school without lunch. Of course, this causes a shift in their moods and makes it hard for them to stay focused during class. Thankfully, the snacks give students a boost of energy that helps keep them concentrated in class.”

• Girls Club Essentials

  Funded Sep 20, 2023

  As the facilitator of "My Sister's Keeper Club" (MSK), my responsibility is to promote gender equity, empower and engage middle school girls. The vision of MSK is to change life outcomes for girls of color, build safe and supportive communities where girls feel valued, and create clear pathways to opportunity.

  Our MSK club meets every Friday. Thanks to your donations, we have been able to bond more with one another and engage in self-care activities. Therefore, we want to thank you, because without your help none of that would have been possible.

  Happy Holidays!”

• Always in the Mood for Snacks

  Funded Sep 20, 2023

  Thank you for donating to my snacks project. Generous donors like you make it possible for my students to be in school with full bellies. Many of my students do not bring lunch to school or they are picky and may not like the school lunch food- so they spend about 7 hours a day with no food in their tummies. Unfortunately, when students go without food for long periods of time they become irritable and unproductive. However, thanks to your donations, the snacks have been able to give my students a boost of energy and keep them focused throughout the school day.”

• Let's Create a Fun, Welcoming, and Comfortable Environment!

  Funded Sep 29, 2022

  Thank you for your donations. The decorations allowed me to create a fun, welcoming and safe environment. My students absolutely love the wallpaper on my walls, and my cool fuzzy pink therapy chair. When my students first saw the materials they were super excited and volunteering to help me put up the wall paper or build the shelves. I took the opportunity to get to know some of my students while they helped me decorate my office. It was great to see my office come together as the days went by. Thank you again for giving me the opportunity to give my students the safe space they need.”

• Volleyballs for Middle School Students

  Funded Oct 17, 2022

  As you know I am the facilitator for the volleyball club at my school. Sadly, we were only given two volleyballs for the entire year and they were not in great condition. Thank you for donating to our project. We now have 12 volleyballs, air pumps, and mesh scrimmage jerseys. Now my colleague and I have the opportunity of creating drills, and creating small groups with students to work on specific skills/technique.

  My students were so happy and grateful for the donation. They were quick to grab a ball and work on their serving, bumping, and hitting. They all have improved tremendously since the beginning of the school year, but that wouldn't have been possible without your donations.

  Thank you again.”

• Hygiene To-Go Bags for Teen Girls!

  Funded Sep 29, 2022

  Thank you for donating hygiene products for my female students. It was a necessity for my students to have access to feminine hygiene products at school. The girls were excited for the hygiene bags because it included necessities like feminine pads, lip gloss, combs, and feminine wipes. The donation also came at a perfect time because I had just finished teaching a hygiene lesson to my students.

  My students loved the different designs of each bag, but they loved the fact that the bags kept their feminine pads safe and discreet. They were so excited, but most importantly they were grateful for the donation.

  The next steps for my students it to learn about organization. I will make a lesson about time management and organization to help them prepare for high school and college.”
