  • A Cup of Joe for A Job Well Done!

    Funded Aug 12, 2024

    What can I say! My kids love the coffee bar. They are learning to budget (classroom cash) while being rewarded with coffee and teas...syrups and creams. They love it! Thank you so much for your incredible generosity in funding our classroom coffee and tea bar project! Your support has made such a meaningful difference for my students. The coffee and tea bar has not only become a cozy hub in our classroom but also a much-needed reward system that motivates and inspires my students to strive for their best.

    Whether it's a cup of tea to soothe their nerves before a big test or a celebratory coffee for achieving a personal milestone, this special addition has created a sense of community and recognition. It's heartwarming to see their smiles as they enjoy a moment of relaxation and connection with their peers.

    Your kindness has truly enhanced their school experience and shown them that hard work and positive behavior are valued and appreciated. On behalf of my students and myself, thank you for believing in us and helping us create a space where success is celebrated.”

    With gratitude,

    Dr. Lewis

  • Reading Our Way to Millions!

    Funded Jul 14, 2023

    Thank you for helping us reach one of our reading goals this year! This book was engaging and helped students understand how to relate with money. I teach business and it can be hard to show students the other sides of money outside of just spending it but this book did a good job of showing them. I am very thankful for the donors because without you, I wouldn't have been able to meet this goal.

    After reading the books, several students told me they went home and shared what they learned with their parents and some of my older students made decisions to save and/or invest their money! I feel like it was all a success! Students thrive when we help them bridge real world experiences with books and being able to follow the stock market along with reading the book was a good way to show students the gains and losses that comes with investing. Thank you to DonorsChoose and all the donors that helped with this project!”

  • Financial Literacy + PBIS = Happy Money-wise Students.

    Funded Aug 18, 2023

    This was a very exciting project for myself and the class. The students enjoyed being able to "save" toward prizes, treats, and computer passes. The favorite was definitely the headphones but I figured they'd love those. What I loved the most was the increase in classroom participation and attendance. Students were able to directly benefit from being in class and being part of the class.

    These prizes represented hard work from the students and demonstrate students' ability to be active in the class, learning, and contributing to the overall culture of the class. Students were excited to "purchase" prizes and it was such a joy to see them be young and do what young people do. I thoroughly enjoyed contributing to such happiness and am grateful for the donors on DonorsChoose who decide that our students matter and that they want to show them that. I am very lucky to be able to participate in this program and so are my students.”
