    Funded Sep 18, 2024

    I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation of art supplies for my PreK-4 classroom. Your support truly makes a difference in our students' creative journeys.

    Thanks to your kindness, the children can explore their imagination and express themselves through art. It's wonderful to see their excitement as they use the supplies to create beautiful projects.

  • Teachers Pay Teachers Classroom Basics

    Funded Sep 18, 2024

    Thank you so much for the donation of a teachers pay teachers gift card. I am able to use it for special days and art projects to do with my students. We were able to use it specifically for our gingerbread day and our Christmas Around the World passports. We had so much fun on that day and having the extra activities made it a memorable day.

    We have also used it for our unit themes. We recently had a community helpers theme and I was able to purchase different things for our seven centers specifically for our dramatic center. We brought the theme to life with the awesome printables I found on teachers pay teachers.”

  • Stand Up and Learn!

    Funded May 8, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generous donation! We have setup the standing desk with the new keyboard and mouse. My pre-k students have been enjoying using it in the classroom. They are working on leadership skills and communication skills. They are taking the teacher role which has been helping them with their confidence. My students and I are very excited to have something new and innovative in our classroom. We complete a daily news journal every morning. We are reaching the end of the school year and they have already learned how to imitate me and do it on their own. It has been a great learning experience for them and for me as well.”

  • Outdoor Play!

    Funded Apr 22, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generous donation! We have setup the red chair and placed it outside. My pre-k students have enjoyed sitting on it during recess! Outdoor furniture can really make a space feel inviting. Socializing outside has been fantastic, especially when the weather is nice. Taking a break outdoors can be refreshing and rejuvenating. Whether it's chatting with classmates, or simply soaking in some sunshine, outdoor time can do wonders for both mental and physical well-being. This addition to our playground area has been so fun. Even the adults are enjoying it!”

  • Outdoor Bench for PK

    Funded Apr 24, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generous donation! We have setup the outdoor storage bench outside. My pre-k students have enjoyed sitting on it so much during recess! They are learning to store the items in the bench when it is time to clean up. They area also using it to sit down when they need a break. We have been storing our basketballs, ring toss game and the additional items that we use in our playground area. My students are learning to be responsible and contributing to keeping everything stored when not in use. This sitting addition to our playground area has been very helpful!”
