The Gift Card That Keeps on Giving
Funded Jan 31, 2025I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your incredibly thoughtful and generous contributions.

Writing for Success
Funded May 27, 2024Thank you so much for your generous donation of our class writing materials. These materials have already made a significant difference in the daily learning and writing habits of my 5th graders. The binders have helped us stay more organized, and the other supplies are enhancing their ability to engage actively with their coursework.
Your support is invaluable in creating a positive and productive learning environment. Your donation reflects a deep commitment to the success of my students, and it is truly appreciated by both their families and myself. When I showed my students our new supplies they couldn't wait to utilize them and get started writing! This motivation is helping us strive for excellence in our educational journey, and we can't thank you enough!”

Take a Seat and Succeed
Funded Dec 18, 2023I can't thank you enough for the classroom seating options and writing tools! My students were overjoyed when they saw the gift. The floor cushions, wobble stools, and clipboards were an instant hit! The most meaningful part for my students though, was realizing that someone they had never met cared about their success. The fact that you donated to our classroom showed them that others are invested in what they do. You showed them that they matter; they are important.
Allowing my students to move around the room comfortably while they work has been an amazing improvement to my classroom dynamic. Giving students the option to choose how and where they work has allowed students to have autonomy in their learning. My students are beginning to make wise choices about what they each need in order to be successful, and as a result students are moving to areas that give themselves the best opportunity to focus and work. They are feeling empowered to advocate for themselves. Without these gifts, that would not be an option. Thank you again for your generous donation!”

Small Groups, Big Impact: Novel Studies
Funded Nov 29, 2023I can't thank you enough for contributing to my classroom library! Your thoughtful donation has helped enrich the reading experiences of my students. You have provided my small groups with a wide range of engaging books students are excited to read. Because of these new books my students are developing a love of reading and a passion for learning that will be beneficial to them through their adult lives
Because of your generous contribution, my students have been able to expand their knowledge and understanding of various genres, themes, and literacy skills. This is playing an invaluable role in creating a positive learning environment for all students. We are truly grateful for your support and dedication to promoting literacy in our school!”

I Can't See It
Funded Dec 20, 2022Thank you so much for your generous support of my students. I meet with all of my 21 students for small groups in both math and language arts. This document camera has made it much easier for those groups to be able to see any work that I do as well as any hands on manipulatives.
In the past, when I would work through example problems with my groups I would have to hold up my board for students to see after I was finished working through the steps. This made it difficult for students to see each step and the process as I worked through things. Now, with my document camera I am able to show students each step in real time as I work through a process. This is vital to student understanding and makes their engagement much higher.
The best part about the document camera is that students love to be the teacher while using it. My students love to display their own work under the camera so that they share their learning with their peers. My goal is for students to be able to take ownership in their learning. I love for my small groups to be student centered and led, and this is one step in that direction.
I can't thank you enough for your generous gift! It truly means so much to all of us!”
