• Keeping It Clean and Germ Free!

  Funded Jan 11, 2024

  Thank you for providing my students with access to cleaning supplies and personal hygiene products! These products will help build healthy habits, essential for their long-term health and well-being.

  My students feel empowered and comfortable now that they have a clean and well-maintained environment, which has enhanced their overall academic performance. Overall, I have seen significantly less absences due to illnesses like the influenza, RSV and COVID-19. Now that allergy season is around the corner, we still have tissue boxes available for stuffy noses!

  Thank you again for your support and generosity!”

• Much Needed Supplies for My Eager and Diverse Learners!

  Funded Sep 20, 2023

  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your tremendous support this academic school year! Your donations have helped two 8th grade classes start the school year off right!

  My students have access to notebooks, highlighters, pencils, folders and more importantly, they do not have to feel burdened by economical factors out of their control. The families we serve are eternally grateful for the resources your donations have provided, since they have several younger children to purchase school supplies for.

  Thanks to your help, we will have continued learning, with dignity and pride.”

• Cozy Corner = Social Emotional Learning

  Funded Dec 6, 2022

  It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your kindness and willingness to give, toward "Cozy Corner = Social Emotional Learning!" Thanks to your generosity, I was able to supply my students with a variety of comfortable seats, different emotional regulation activities and opportunities to reflect.

  Despite the emotional roller-coaster 7th grade can be, my students say our classroom is a safe and welcoming space for all emotions. They have demonstrated the ability to express how they feel, process their emotions and get back to learning.

  Thank you for your kind and generous donations! We are forever appreciative!!”

• Cricut + Creativity = Endless Math + Literacy Manipulatives!

  Funded Dec 6, 2022

  We are incredibly thankful for your donation of a Cricut Explorer for our classroom! Since many of my students are on the spectrum or have speech or language impairments, manipulatives are incredibly helpful. The Cricut machine has made differentiation significantly easier and easy to implement across ELA, science and most importantly math! With this new tool, our students had access to manipulatives to solve area, perimeter solve expressions, inequalities and even coordinates! They were also able to decorate the classroom and door for seasonal events and holidays. It has helped lift up their spirits!

  We are so grateful for your generosity!”

• Let's Keep Germs at Bay!

  Funded Dec 6, 2022

  I would like to express my immense gratitude this school years towards my "Keeping Germs at Bay!" project. Through your generous donations, our students were able to maintain a clean and sanitized work environment. Part of our daily routine are to wipe down surfaces and clean our manipulatives. My students were able to do this consistently, reducing the number of absences due to colds, influenza and COVID-19! The Kleenex tissues are also handy now that allergy season is picking up, so thank you again for your continued support! Your impact has truly made a difference.”

• Fuel for Thought! Snacks to Fuel Our Learning!

  Funded Nov 16, 2022

  It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your willingness to fund "Fuel for Thought! Snacks to Fuel Our Learning!" Thanks to the wonderful snacks, they were able to fuel their bodies and minds of my amazing 7th graders!

  Several of my students travel a great distance and often miss eating breakfast. They all know they can confidently ask for a snack any time of the day. These snacks have also helped serve as an incentive to increase work completion or for reaching specific goals!

  Thank you again for your kindness and support!”

  Funded Sep 29, 2022

  It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your kindness and willingness to give, toward ""Mindful Reading Nook!? Let's Stack Those Books!" With the wonderful bookcase, I was able to provide my students with an accessible and diverse classroom library.

• Combating Inequity, One Notebook at a Time!

  Funded Sep 16, 2022

  It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your kindness and willingness to give, toward "Combating Inequity, One Notebook at a Time!"

  With the awesome supplies, I was able to supply my students with essential supplies they need to learn. Folders, pencils, highlighters, printed materials, and more!

  The students feel a sense of comfort knowing they can come to our closet and "shop" for supplies with me as needed. Having these resources has significantly reduced their level of anxiety and has shifted their focus towards learning. If it weren't for your support, these amazing students would not have access to purchase these supplies otherwise.

  Thank you for your kind and generous donations! We are very appreciative!!”
