Centers, Art and Fun.
Funded May 6, 2024Thanks to your incredible generosity, our 1st-grade classroom at East End Prep is now stocked with the tools and materials we need to make learning engaging and fun! From colorful markers and construction paper for art projects to notebooks and folders for organizing our writing activities, every item has brought excitement and purpose to our learning. One of our favorite moments so far was using the new supplies to create "All About Me" books, where students shared their interests, families, and goals in words and pictures. The pride they felt in completing and sharing their work was priceless!
When the supplies arrived, the classroom was buzzing with excitement. Students couldn't wait to explore the materials, with many exclaiming, "This is the best day ever!" Watching their eyes light up as they realized they now had their very own supplies to use for learning and creating was truly heartwarming. Having these resources has already boosted their confidence and fostered a greater sense of responsibility for their work.
With these supplies, we're moving forward on exciting projects, including a science unit where students will write and illustrate their own books about the life cycle of a butterfly. Your donation has made it possible for every student to participate fully, no matter their background. These resources are more than just supplies—they're tools for growth, creativity, and success. Thank you for believing in our students and giving them the means to thrive!”

Funded Feb 8, 2023Thanks to your generous support, our Kindergarten classroom at East End Prep has been transformed into an environment where every student can focus on learning without the distraction of hunger. The snacks you provided have become an essential part of our daily routine. Whether it's during a break between phonics and math lessons or after a morning of hard work, these nutritious snacks help our students recharge and stay engaged throughout the day.
The excitement on their faces when the snack bins were first introduced was heartwarming. Students cheered as they discovered their favorite snacks, and some even exclaimed, "Now we'll have brain food!" One student shared that having snacks at school makes her feel cared for and ready to learn. These small but impactful moments highlight just how much your support means to them.
With their energy levels sustained, our students have been making great strides in their learning. For instance, during a recent writing activity, they worked with impressive focus, crafting creative sentences about their favorite books—a task that would have been much harder if they were distracted by hunger. Moving forward, we'll continue incorporating these snacks into our routine as we tackle new challenges, like group projects and hands-on science experiments. Your contribution has not only met a basic need but has also empowered our students to reach for their full potential. Thank you for making such a meaningful difference in their lives!”

Funded Nov 8, 2023Thank you so much for thinking of our classroom and donating so that we could purchase new headphones. Our students were so excited to see us open the box of new color headphones that were comfortable on their ears. We use technology every day and it was such a struggle to keep quality headphones and we were constantly borrowing from neighboring classrooms. Due to your generosity we are able to to have problem free center time using our new headphones, the children can hear what's being said and actually enjoy having them on. We are so very grateful for you.”
