• Starting Off Strong!

  Funded May 14, 2023

  Thank you SO SO much for helping support our classroom!! It has allowed me to insure I can have nice and new materials for my scholars in years to come. The extra pencils and color pencils will become very useful as many of our scholars are unable to provide supplies of their own. The Civil Rights books will allow my students to dive deeper into our nations history in an easy understandable way. All of the other supplies (tissues, paper towel, etc.) will come into use this coming school year.

  Thank you again SO much. I would not have been able to accomplish this without your support.”

• Bring the Learning Outside!

  Funded May 3, 2023

  Thank you SO SO much for helping support our classroom!! The rolling desks have been used many times since they had arrived. They have allowed me to take students outside to recharge and get refreshing air. Your donation has allowed me to insure I can have nice and new items for my scholars in years to come. The Lego globe was an awesome addition to the classroom. The students were able to use it to learn locations and country boundaries.

  Thank you again SO much. I would not have been able to accomplish this without your support.”

• Healthy Environments = Academic Success

  Funded May 5, 2023

  My words can not express the gratitude I have for your support! This project will be so helpful with our end of the year RIT Raffle. I have been able to show some of the classes a few of the prizes and they are SO excited. This raffle is allowing us to supply our students with some nice things to start off summer with. Seeing the prizes that will be offered at the raffle encouraged the students to try their best on our latest state testing. They are now starting competitions with their friends as to who will do better on the the state test!

  It is really encouraging to see them so excited about something. Thank YOU again SO much for the continued support. We could not do this without YOU!”

• Odds to Make Ends Meet Part 2

  Funded Mar 11, 2023

  Thank you SO SO much for helping support our classroom!! The personal laminator has been used many times since it has arrived. It has allowed me to insure I can have nice and new materials for my scholars in years to come. I have used one of the crates to store all of the accessories and laminator. The extra pencils has become very useful as many of our scholars are unable to provide supplies of their own. And the adorable globe pencil holder is a great way to show the students that if they need the supplies - I have them.

  Thank you again SO much. I would not have been able to accomplish this without your support.”

• 21st-Century Tools for 21st-Century Learners

  Funded Feb 8, 2023

  Thank you SO SO much! With your help I have been able to update our classroom with some modern tech tools and other items that will help students gain 21st-century STEM skills, make cross-curricular connections with their learning, and help our classroom run smoothly and efficiently. With this project, I have been able to change the way I run my classroom in a more efficient way. I have been able to make social studies more interactive and engaging as we move throughout the year. Having an updated technology system has truly changed the game - in a great way! Allowing for social studies to become more interactive is so important as we connect history to our modern daily lives!”

• Books for Avid Readers

  Funded Feb 8, 2023

  WOW! Thank you SO SO much for supporting our classroom. These bookshelves and books have made such an impact in our daily routine. With so many different reading levels present, it was critically important that our classroom library reflects each of those reading levels. In a diverse classroom, diverse book choices including characters of all cultures, races, and abilities help every scholar feel included. Therefore, when choosing books for this project, I intentionally chose titles that included characters representative of the cultures, races, and abilities present in my classroom.

  Thanks to YOU I have been able to fulfill the scholars wants/needs when it comes to literature. We continue to build out literacy rate, one step at a time.”

• Odds to Make Ends Meet

  Funded Feb 8, 2023

  I cannot give enough thanks to you for helping support out classroom!! My scholars have been so excited to use the new materials from this project. Some scholars are not able to provide their own supplies, and we are always ready to help those scholars out and give them what they need. Being able to stock my classroom with basic supplies we use often: washable markers, scissors, glue, staplers, fidget tools, erasers, and other items - has help tremendously. We will use the file crates to store these materials, and scholars know that they are able to take what they need

  Thank you for helping make sure every scholar has the tools they need to succeed!”

  Funded Nov 30, 2022

  Thank you for your support! Our bookshelf is here and it is beautiful! We are so grateful to have a nice bookshelf to display all our classroom library books for student use. Students are loving it already and we can't wait to stock it with even more fun books. It'll be a vital tool in our classroom for years to come!

  We are also so grateful for the wobble cushions. They are used daily by students who need to wiggle a little bit to stay focused, and they've been immensely helpful. We are so grateful for your support!”
