Indoor and Outdoor Recess Goodies
Funded Jul 24, 2024Thank you so much for your contribution of indoor and outdoor recess for my class. We had two straight weeks of rain here in the second month of school. Having so many indoor recess options gave my students the well needed time to connect and build relationships with each other. They treat these items carefully and with respect knowing that it is because of generous strangers and their donations that they have the privilege of these toys. Thank you for bringing a little bit of joy and play into our classroom. 🤍🤍🤍”

New Teacher Classroom Essentials!
Funded Jun 18, 2024I greatly appreciate your contribution towards me and my very first classroom. As a new teacher, it was daunting thinking about the supplies and resources that I would need to get for my students. We are a Title 1 school, and my students already have so many needs before coming into the classroom. They deserve the very best, and I am so grateful to you and your donations in helping me give them that. They are in awe every time I explain to them that kind strangers and family members donated their money so we could have these supplies every day. The concept of this grand generosity still shocks them and even myself on most days.
My students are constantly reminded of how lucky they are whenever they use these items and I am reminded how blessed I am to have these essentials support me in my teaching journey. I strive to keep providing and obtaining the resources needed to support my students' learning, and it grows and changes every year like them. It is because of your kindness that I am able to continue doing so. Thank you for helping me. It has truly made a life changing impact on this first year teacher.”

New Teacher Cozy Carpet
Funded Jun 18, 2024Thank you so much for your contribution towards this project. Because of you, my students have a beautiful carpet that not only ties in our entire classroom together, but serves as a common space for my students to learn and connect with each other. They LOVE walking to their smiley face spot and knowing the color they are on. They LOVE sitting on it and feeling how soft it is. They LOVE seeing it at the center of our room every day and know that when they are on this carpet, they are on it because of you. I've stressed the importance of the carpet and how kind strangers came together and donated so they could sit on it everyday. They treat it with respect and carefulness everyday.
Thank you so much for making this happen for not only this second grade class, but also for this first year teacher.”
