  • Mr. Thornton's Growing Library for Young Readers of All Types

    Funded Jan 8, 2025

    Without your help, this never would have been possible. Supporting education is supporting the future and you’ve now played a very big part in that. Words always seem to fall short of conveying what it means to me, so I’ll just say thank you. From the very deepest part of my heart and soul, thank you.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Thornton

  • Books and Space for Mental Health

    Funded Aug 12, 2024

    These contributions to my classroom have many small but important impacts. Without having to ask questions that may feel embarrassing at first, my students have access to both fiction and non-fiction literature that was chosen specifically to help them with common mental health issues that teens are facing. This literature can help them with self-sufficiency, but can also give them the words to speak what they're feeling if they need to find help.

    Along with the books, that carpet has allowed me to set aside space specifically for the literature aimed at mental health. Students can occupy that space and feel whatever it is they need to feel at that time.

    My classroom aim is to have a safe space for ALL students. Your donations have made that possible.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Thornton

    This classroom project was brought to life by Google.org Teen Mental Health Initiative.

  • Flexible Seating and Extra Storage for Mr. T's Room

    Funded Jul 29, 2024

    These contributions to my classroom have many small but important impacts. By providing multiple seating options, nearly any student can enter my room and find a comfortable space to sit. In this time of high stress, any little comfort that can be afforded is sure to improve a students ability to pay attention and to actively participate.

    Along with that, the shelving and containers allows students to get any supplies they may need without question, alleviating the stress of not being able to acquire materials due to any number of limiting factors.

    My classroom aim is to have a safe space for ALL students. Your donations have made that possible.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Thornton

    This classroom project was brought to life by Michael Jordan and The Jordan Brand and one other donor.
