  • Design Your Learning Board Game!

    Funded Apr 6, 2025

    Thank you so much for your kind donation to our 5th grade class. Your support helped us do a special project where students made their own board games to show what they learned about ecosystems. Because of you, we had everything we needed—game boards, markers, dice, and other fun supplies. We are so thankful!

    In this project, students worked in groups to create games that teach about animals, plants, food chains, and how nature works together. They used what they learned in science class and added their own ideas. The games turned out amazing! Students had fun, helped each other, and learned even more while creating and playing the games.

    Your gift made a big difference. You helped our class feel proud, excited, and creative. Thank you for believing in our students and for helping them learn in a fun and special way. We really appreciate your kindness!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Tran

  • Books for Book Club!

    Funded Dec 3, 2024

    I want to extend my deepest gratitude for your generous donation of books to my 5th grade class. Your contribution has already had a tremendous impact, especially for our five different reading groups. The students have been eagerly looking forward to their book club time, excited to dive into the new, engaging books you've provided. One of the highlights has been The Wild Robot, which has been a huge hit with some of our students, especially those who had seen the movie. They've loved comparing the story they know from the screen to the book, sparking interesting discussions and deeper connections to the material. Your thoughtful donation has truly sparked their curiosity and love of learning in a way that will last long beyond the school year.

    Your support means so much, not just in terms of the books themselves but also in fostering a classroom environment where each student feels encouraged to explore and share their thoughts. These books are making a difference in how they connect with reading and with each other. On behalf of my students and myself, thank you for your kindness and for helping create a space where our book clubs are thriving. We are deeply grateful for your generosity and for the positive influence you've had on their educational journey. Thank you again!”

  • Raising Readers in 5th Grade

    Funded Nov 4, 2024

    I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your generous gift of engaging books for my 5th grade class. The collection, which includes graphic novels, the Wings of Fire series, and the Smile series, has already made an incredible impact on my students. The moment I unpacked the books from the shipping box, the excitement in the classroom was palpable! The students rushed over, eager to be the first to pick up a book and dive into the stories. It was truly a joy to see their enthusiasm and curiosity sparked by such a thoughtful gift.

    Thanks to your donation, my students are not only being exposed to new and exciting genres but are also developing essential reading skills. The graphic novels and series books have helped them strengthen their comprehension by identifying key themes, analyzing characters, and understanding plot structure in a more dynamic way. These books are fostering a deeper love for reading while giving them the tools to better understand and engage with complex texts.

    Moreover, the vocabulary skills that come with exploring these different genres are also invaluable. Through the rich language found in these stories, my students are learning new words and phrases that are broadening their language skills and encouraging them to express themselves more confidently. On behalf of my entire class, thank you once again for your thoughtful and impactful donation. Your generosity is making a lasting difference in our learning journey.”

The students eagerly engage with them, finding that they can concentrate on their learning while also moving in a way that feels comfortable and fun.

    It has been incredible to see the positive impact these tools have made.

Your kindness is making a real difference in their educational experience, and I cannot thank you enough for your support. Together, we are fostering a more inclusive and effective learning environment, and I am truly grateful to have you as a partner in this journey. Thank you again!!”
