Gardening Tools
Funded Apr 3, 2025Thank you very much for your generous donation! Thanks to you, my students will be able to have the necessary supplies to plant vegetables in our school garden beds, take care of the plants, and harvest the crops to take home. Our school garden is a great hands on way to get students to learn about nutrition and to be able to try different healthy foods. My students and I appreciate your kindness!”

Funded Mar 6, 2025Thank you again for your generous donation! My students are going to be able to effectively complete their "Personality Islands" project with the materials we have received. Our "Personality Islands" project is in relation to learning about emotions using the movie Inside Out. The purpose of the project is for students to identify the things that are most important to them (characteristics, values, people, places, etc.).
My students were beyond excited to finally have thick markers to use instead of only thin markers. In addition, the sharpies made their work much easier when they needed to write or color on different materials the markers don't quite work for. The most requested and most used item though has been the hot glue sticks. Majority of students use hot glue to attach and build their projects, so this is a huge necessity for us.
These materials donated will continue to be used each term and each year during health class. Each term as I get new students, I do this same project that requires the same/similar materials. This "Personality Islands" project is a student favorite because they are hands on working together instead of sitting in a typical classroom setting with paper and pencil learning.”
