  • Cozy Learning Corner: Essential Supplies for Our K-2 Classroom

    Funded Nov 30, 2024

    I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation of a rug and two bin bags to our classroom cozy corner. Your kindness has made a wonderful impact on our classroom environment.

    As you may know, many of our students have special needs, and creating a comfortable, welcoming space is crucial for their well being and learning. The cozy corner is now a warm, inviting place where they can relax, regulate, and take a much needed break during their school day. The rug provides a soft and comfortable spot for them to sit, while the supply bags are already being put to great use for organizing our materials and keeping the area tidy.

    Your thoughtful contribution is truly appreciated, and it's making a real difference in the students' experience at school. We are so grateful for your support and for helping us create a space that promotes comfort, learning, and community.

    Thank you again for your generosity!”

    With gratitude,
