Panther Supplies

Funded Jan 19, 2025

On behalf of our classroom, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation. Thanks to your support, we were able to purchase a cell phone lockbox, seat cushions for flexible student seating, and laminating sheets that are already enhancing our learning environment in meaningful ways.

The cell phone lockbox has helped create a more focused and distraction-free space, allowing students to stay present and engaged during lessons. My student behavior this year is excellent, but the distraction of cell phones has been detrimental to not only the instructional process of my class but it has also caused students who could be otherwise successful to become extremely distracted from their work. Students at this age (8th grade) are very tempted with technology and need the reinforcements of teachers to reign in the technology that prohibits their learning.

The seat cushions have been a wonderful addition—providing comfort and promoting better focus in a space where they feel comfortable, especially for students who benefit from alternative seating options. Many students feel the restrictiveness of a desk and struggle to get past that to focus on work. With these seat cushions, students can get comfortable and then get focused on their work in a timelier fashion.

The laminating sheets have allowed us to preserve student work, create reusable classroom materials, and bring vibrant, long-lasting resources to life. Your contribution has made a direct and lasting impact, and we are so thankful for your investment in our students' success as well as brightening our room with necessary signage or instructional materials.”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Fabrizio
