Wacom Tablet: Keep Me With the Kids!
Funded Aug 26, 2024When I tell you that your donations toward our classroom Wacom tablet have made a world of difference, I truly mean it! T
he benefits of this little tool have far surpassed my expectations. I anticipated more freedom and flexibility to be where I need to be in the room while I teach and I have certainly been afforded that; but the efficiency of helping students—being able to toggle through resources on our big screen while still close enough to answer their questions—has been so valuable for relationship building too! Students have gotten more one-on-one time with undivided attention. They no longer have to worry about what other students think of their questions while I talk across the room at them, tapping and swiping the board.
For all this and the many other benefits (I have saved so much time traveling back and forth to the board!) my class and I thank you.”

Self-Esteem, Light Therapy, and Stickers!
Funded Aug 13, 2024What a wonderful impact this project has made on our classroom environment! Your donations spurred discussions about personal and mental health, body positivity, and normalizing asking for help (asking for a sticker or a sun lamp for little pick-me-ups).
When the students first saw the supplies you helped provide in our freebie cabinet, they were at first confused about why an English teacher's classroom would be stocked with sanitary pads and toothbrushes. But now, reaching for a flosser after lunch, a sanitary pad when the unexpected arrives, or a deodorant wipe after PE is a normal occurrence; when students aren't distracted by embarrassment or anxiety about their bodies, learning can take center stage. What an important impact to have on a new highschooler!
Thank you from me and the freshman class of NBHS!”
