  • Specially Designed Instruction Matters!

    Funded Mar 13, 2025

    We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your generous donation. Your kindness is immensely appreciated by the students.

    This contribution plays a vital role in supporting students with disabilities, enabling them to access the general curriculum more effectively. With the use of the iPad, our students will be more engaged and interactive in their learning experiences.

    Your generosity not only enhances their educational opportunities but also instills hope in our students with disabilities, encouraging them to become more responsible and responsive citizens of the community and the country.

    Thank you once again for your invaluable support.”

    With gratitude,

  • Math and Beyond!

    Funded Apr 30, 2024

    First and foremost, we want to say Super Thank you for becoming Superheroes to my students. Thank you for making the minds of my students go beyond the four corners of the classroom.

    We use the resources in our extra time of open time. After the lessons and student's classwork, I let students play chess and read books silently as some of their classmates were still working on their classwork. They find partners or groups of friends to go to the corner and play or read. They feel happy seeing the resources because they have something to do after classwork. There are book lovers who love reading books. The book is all about financial literacy. Also, some students are critical thinkers who love to play chess. It is about decision-making and critical thinking.

    Again, thank you so much for making the learning of the students continuous.

    We do appreciate your thoughtfulness and love.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Ortillo

  • Feel mATh Home!

    Funded Mar 7, 2024

    Thank you so much for making my classroom a class home as they feel that they are part of the family. Your help by providing resources is indeed a great help to start communication to talk about, personal and school, and build a good relationship between teacher and student. Also, it is about bringing home to school.

    The impact of your donation is better understanding for better learning of the students - it's the connections. Moreover, this will increase the interest and engagement of the students in class. There will be more comfort for students to express themselves about the lesson.

    Again,

    Super Thank You for making a difference to my students!

    Super Thank You for being SuperHeroes in the lives of my students!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Ortillo

  • Encouragement and Confidence that MATHers

    Funded Dec 6, 2023

    First and foremost, I wanna say SUPER THANK YOU for your KINDNESS and GENEROSITY to my students. It means a lot to me and my students.

    The technology helps the students to boost their confidence and be motivated with their work. This makes them express their ideas, thoughts, and feelings confidently. With this, they will be able to give their full potential to participate and be engaged in the class.

    The objective of the lesson now can easily be achieved with the encouraged and confident students. Unknowingly, expressing themselves confidently, everyone in the class can connect and build good relationships in the teaching and learning process. This kind of situation would make a better learning and better quality education among my learners.

    Again,

    Super thank you for making a legacy for my students!

    Super Thank You as you are SuperHeroes in the lives of my students!”

Through your kind heart, with the materials or resources you have donated, this project has an impact on the lives of every learner. Every student develops their full potential in terms of their skills and talents. Your donations will help prepare the students to be responsible and responsive citizens soon.
