  Thank you so much for your generous donation! My students are absolutely thrilled to have this new flexible seating in our classroom. These chairs have given them the chance to work at a new table and find a spot that supports their learning and growth as students. Seeing their excitement and eagerness to try out the new seating was a truly joyful moment for all of us.

• Noteworthy Notebooks

  Funded May 25, 2024

  I want to express my heartfelt thanks for providing these notebooks. They allowed me to start the school year with all the materials I needed, without having to spend my own money or wait for the school's supply order, which still hasn't arrived. Because of this, my students were able to settle into a routine right away, fully equipped and ready to learn from day one.

  The notebooks have made a significant difference for my students, many of whom don't have the means to supply their own materials. They were excited to have everything they needed right from the start, especially those who are new to the country and may not know what is required. Having these supplies readily available helps them feel comfortable and confident in the classroom.

  These notebooks are being used daily for morning work, math, and writing activities. They give each student a dedicated space for their work, ensuring consistency and organization in their learning. I truly appreciate your support in helping to set up my students for success this year.”

  We will be using these new resources every day in our classroom to support our learning and daily activities. From the very first day of school, my students will have everything they need to be successful. They won't have to worry about gathering supplies or missing out on essential items; everything they need will be right at their fingertips. This readiness will allow them to focus entirely on their learning and personal growth, knowing that they are fully equipped for the school year. With these resources readily available, we can seamlessly transition into our daily routines and maximize our time for educational activities.

  When my students first see these materials, they are going to be thrilled. The excitement and gratitude will be palpable, especially for those who might not have had the means to obtain all the necessary supplies on their own. Knowing that they have everything they need from the start will give them a sense of security and readiness. This will foster a positive and encouraging environment, where each student feels supported and valued. The new resources will not only meet their practical needs but also show them that they are in a classroom that cares about their success and well-being.”

• Helpful Headphones!

  Funded May 9, 2024

  Your support is making a significant difference in our students' learning experiences.

  Having headphones in the classroom is transforming how our students engage with their studies. They are particularly beneficial in the following ways:

  Testing: Headphones ensure students can concentrate fully during tests, leading to better grades and maximizing their efforts.

  Reading: Students can listen to their books on computers, enhancing their comprehension and enjoyment of reading programs.

  Math: For online math tests, headphones allow questions to be read aloud, aiding understanding and performance.

  These tools are empowering our students to achieve their best and put forth their maximum effort in every task.

  The students are thrilled that each of them now has their own set of headphones. This guarantees that everyone has equal access to learning resources, fostering an inclusive and supportive learning environment. Our low-income students are especially grateful. Many do not have the means to bring headphones from home, and your donation has ensured they are not left behind. This has not only improved their learning outcomes but also boosted their confidence and sense of belonging in the classroom.

  Thank you once again for your generosity and support. Your contribution is making a profound impact on our students' educational journey”
