Game On: Empowering Young Athletes with the Gear They Need
Funded Mar 26, 2025Money Matters: Navigating Your Financial Journey
Funded Oct 11, 2024In a continuation school setting, I'm constantly looking for innovative ways to engage students and help them feel connected to their learning journey. We are fortunate enough to receive the support of our community and matching sponsors to receive our projector and screen. We now have materials to build connection at our school and engage our families and students in presentations focused around financial literacy.
During our first Family Finance night, we had a great parent turn out and were able to share valuable resources regarding Financial Aid as well as college applications
The new resources have truly revitalized our school environment and opened exciting avenues for engagement and expression. With each presentation, we see students and parents gain confidence in their abilities execute their plans. Thank you for your support.”

Graduation, Here We Come!
Funded May 7, 2024In a continuation school setting, I'm constantly looking for innovative ways to engage students and help them feel connected to their learning journey. We are fortunate enough to receive the support of our community and matching sponsors for Glitter Yardstick, cutting mats, weeding tools and transfer tape. We now have materials to embellish projects and showcase our learning and we hope to provide engaging and creative outlets to complete projects.
Many students were visibly excited, eagerly discussing ideas for possible upcoming events, projects and imagining the possibilities. Others, who may have been more reserved initially, seemed intrigued by the opportunity to express themselves creatively and share their interests.

Student & Family Lunar New Year Celebration
Funded Dec 9, 2023Thank you so much for your grace and generosity in helping my students succeed. When so many of our students feel disconnected and unseen, providing students with a little extra motivation helps to connect and makes students feel invested and that is why we want to host more Student & Family events and celebrations.
Your donations have allowed our students to use the paper cutter to personalize notes to invite parents to activities and we were able to make coffee for a New Year Celebration meeting for parents to feel welcomed!”

Funded Oct 19, 2023Thank you so much for all your donations. Technology is such an integral part of daily life and used to help our students learn by allowing them to not only access material but communicate with teachers and reach out for resources that support their learning and motivate them.
The most exciting component of having this material in class is that they have instant access to recharge devices so they are free to use their platforms without the worry of "running out of juice" and being left without access to parents or family after school.
As with any school, there are times when we need to collect devices to ensure confidentiality of exams or assessment. Students who were previously reluctant to turn over their technology have warmed up to the new technology as it allows their devices to recharge while they work on tasks not requiring their devices.
All in all, this project has been a win-win for all. Thank you.”
