Spark Your Creativity! Stay Away From Screens This Summer!

Funded May 8, 2024

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to express my deepest gratitude for your generous contribution to our project. The impact of your donation has been truly remarkable.

As a first grade teacher with 18 bilingual students, I strived to keep their creativity and enthusiasm for learning alive, even during the summer break. Thanks to your kindness, I was able to provide each of my students with a personalized gift bag filled with materials that sparked their imagination and kept them engaged. The excitement on their faces when they received their bags on the last day of school was priceless.

Each gift bag included coloring books, a set of vibrant colors, chalkboards, and jigsaw puzzles—materials perfectly suited for their love of drawing, coloring, and tackling new challenges. Additionally, I added some readers that I had on hand to encourage them to continue their reading journey over the summer. These thoughtful items not only provided them with constructive ways to spend their time but also reinforced the skills and creativity they developed throughout the school year.

Your support has made a lasting impact on my students. Many of them come from low-income families, and having these resources at home has been incredibly valuable. The materials have kept them engaged, entertained, and learning throughout the summer.

Thank you once again for your generosity and for helping me make a difference in the lives of my students. Your donation has truly brightened their summer and reinforced their love for learning.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Buelvas
