Students' School Supplies
Funded Dec 31, 2023This project has greatly helped my classroom. My students go through resources and supplies like crazy! They lose items or break items and need them replaced constantly. Or we just use so much of a product, that we need more! Your generosity has greatly helped us stock up on things we needed or were running low in our classroom.
When the students saw the packages they got super excited and couldn't wait to open them to see what we got! The biggest impact has been having a bountiful supply of pencils and tissues! We go through those items the most, especially during this time of year. My students also enjoy the fact that their work can now be laminated and protected! Sometimes they shove their work into their backpacks and then they become ripped or crumpled. Having them be able to laminate their special work was exciting for them.
Being that we are a 6th-grade special education classroom, we are learning so many exciting and higher-order things, having the right supplies helps us be prepared and ready to work! No student feels like they have less than others because they are all prepared and ready to go!”

Creativity and Growth
Funded Dec 31, 2023Thank you so much for your donation. With the materials I received, I was able to create so many things for my classroom already. The materials provided help us (myself included) get creative, create a warm environment, and most of all, have fun with learning and creativity. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We get so many compliments about how our classroom looks and feels when you walk in! It makes an impact on these students; especially those who may feel down or don't want to be in school. They know they have a home away from home to come to and be themselves.”

Together, in Success and in Failures
Funded Aug 2, 2023Thank you for your generous donations to my classroom. The resources and supplies have greatly helped my students and classroom. With all of the classroom supplies provided I have been able to provide my students with a warm, welcoming environment full of supplies, they may not be able to afford, right at their hands. Many times, especially at the beginning of the school year, my students do not come to school prepared with their basic supplies such as notebooks, pens, pencils, etc... They feel comfortable in my room because I have everything readily available for their needs. Not only do I now have classroom supplies, but I also have supplies to keep my room clean and as germ-free as possible, especially during this time of year.
The resources provided have also allowed my students a fun learning environment. In my self-contained classroom, we focus a lot on reading, comprehension, and vocabulary. The games and resources provided have made learning fun for them. They now have improved their verbal skills as well as vocabulary skills. These skills help with comprehension and reading abilities. I am a strong believer that learning should be fun, especially in areas students may find difficult. Overall, your donations have greatly helped my classroom environment and I am truly appreciative of your generosity.”
