Funded Nov 13, 2024Thank you so much for donating to our campaign. Through your generosity, we have been able to set up and populate a gorgeous coldwater tank for our loaches- and new fishy friends as well!
Since setting up the tank, our white cloud mountain minnow population has truly flourished. They're thriving in their new environment, darting about in perfect harmony, bringing vibrant life and movement to the tank. The tank is also home to our lovely new golden dojo loaches, who have become a wonderful addition to the ecosystem. These three have been a perfect complement to the older, seasoned loaches, and they quickly established themselves as fast friends, constantly keeping each other company and adding more charm to the tank. Students have named them Toshinori, Lysol and Clorox.
With 55 gallons of space, this tank is also home to a small school of paradise gourami, who bring beautiful color to the environment. The tank is fully planted, a stable habitat for our friendly, fishy friends, and a soothing feature of our classroom.
Every donation we received has not only helped us create a more beautiful and lively habitat for these fascinating creatures, but it's also fostered a greater sense of community and appreciation for the natural world. Your generosity is truly a gift, and we couldn't be more grateful to have you as part of our journey.
Thank you once again for your support.”

Funded Sep 17, 2024On behalf of my students, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donations of food and hygiene products. Your support plays a crucial role in the lives of our high school students, particularly those from low-income backgrounds who face challenges related to food insecurity and access to basic personal care items. The impact of your kindness reaches far beyond the immediate needs it addresses; it fosters a sense of comfort and safety that is essential for our students' overall well-being.
Providing food and hygiene products creates a foundation for self-care among our students, helping them develop a positive self-image. When students feel clean and well-nourished, their confidence grows, which in turn encourages regular attendance. Many of our students have expressed that the lack of adequate personal care items has made them feel self-conscious and reluctant to engage in school activities. Your contributions not only meet their basic needs but also empower them to present their best selves, both in and out of the classroom.
Furthermore, when students are free from the distractions of hunger and poor hygiene, they can better focus on their studies. Attendance is crucial for academic success, and by alleviating these barriers, your donations help ensure that students can fully participate in their education. A strong sense of self-worth is instrumental in fostering an environment conducive to learning, and your support provides the tools necessary for our students to thrive academically and socially.
Thank you once again for your incredible generosity. Together, we are making a meaningful difference in the lives of our students, promoting not only their physical health but also their emotional and academic growth. Your commitment to nurturing our community inspires us all, and we look forward to continuing this important work together.”

Funded Aug 12, 2024We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous contributions toward our behavior management and fidget items. Your support recognizes the essential role that play and sensory activities play in the lives of teenagers, often overlooked in educational settings. By providing these resources, you are helping to create an equitable environment where students can express themselves, focus better in class, and develop essential self-advocacy skills. Your commitment to enhancing accommodations for our students not only addresses their immediate needs but also empowers them to engage more fully in their grade-level learning.
The introduction of a ticketing system to reinforce positive behaviors has resulted in a significant uptick in student engagement and motivation. Thanks to your donations, we've seen an increase in students exhibiting positive behaviors, which fosters a more harmonious classroom atmosphere. This system has encouraged students to actively participate in shaping their own learning environment, and we're thrilled to report that the sense of community has grown stronger as students work together towards common goals.
Moreover, we have witnessed a remarkable rise in peer-to-peer mentoring relationships as a direct result of your contributions. These connections have not only enhanced individual accountability but have also facilitated a culture of support that extends beyond academic achievements to class-wide rewards. Your generosity has laid the groundwork for a more collaborative learning experience, where students uplift one another and collectively thrive. Thank you for being a crucial part of this positive change in our school community!”

Your support has made it possible for my high school students to fully engage with grade-level science content without the burden of purchasing necessary supplies. This initiative not only alleviates financial stress but also empowers our students to explore, learn, and thrive in their scientific education.

The notebooks serve as a tool for creativity and innovation, encouraging students to take ownership of their learning journey and inspiring them to pursue their interests in science.
