Successful Beginnings
Funded May 25, 2024Thank you so much for donating to my classroom for our Successful Beginnings project. I work at a school that is Title One, which means most of my students receive free lunch at our school. It is hard for many of my parents to buy all the supplies their children need every year and that is one of the reasons I am so thankful for this project.
This donation helped my give my students the supplies they need to have a good year. We received colored pencils, homework folders of various colors, pencil pouches, Sharpies markers and highlighters. With these supplies, my students have jumped into this school year happy and prepared.
Now, all my students have the same supplies and their needs are filled because of your kind donation. Thank you for making my kids feel unique and special for this new school year. It means so much to myself and to my students.”

Funded May 27, 2024We received our amazing Mother's Day package at the beginning of the school year, so I changed up the project to one we could do to show our creativity and love of art. We took our clay to make Dunnys, which are wonderful little statues that the kids can then decorate to show their own flair. We started the Dunnys, feet first, using toothpicks and clay to create these amazing creatures, with arms and heads. We soon realized that not all our models turned out to resemble Dunnys, but took on designs of their own, which was terrific. They used the paint and Sharpies to decorate their clay models and make them something special and unique.
It was wonderful to watch the joy in my students eyes as they modeled their own clay project, many never having used clay before. I saw my students faces light up as they saw the choices they had for decorating their DUNNY. We ended up spending one extra day designing our projects because the kids were so excited about it. I had everything I needed for my kids, thanks to the amazing donors at DonorChose. I cannot say thank you enough for taking the time to look at this project and make it possible for my students.”
