• Updating Our Seating Choices Part 3

  Funded Aug 11, 2023

  Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am forever grateful for your thoughtfulness and generosity. Because of your gratitude, I was able to add/update a few seats in my classroom. My classroom does not have traditional hard back chairs but rather, comfortable and ergonomic chairs. I have found over the years that comfortable seating has helped students to pay attention for longer periods of time. This has led to an increased level of information being retained.

  Again, I am grateful for your kindness towards my current and future students.”

• Gearing Up for a New Year!

  Funded Sep 9, 2021

  Thank you for helping to support our classroom. The past 2 years have been quite challenging but, having a community of people who support education has helped to ease some of the burden.

  Adding additional seating options to my classroom has brought me one step closer to having enough flexible seating options for 100% of my students.

  Comfortable seating has helped to make my students feel like they are in their home away from home. It has made a difference in their academics. Proficiency has increased and engagement has soared.

  Thank you again.”

• Updated Our Seating Choices Part 2

  Funded Mar 14, 2021

  Since receiving the additional seats for our classroom, we have been able to increase student engagement. Students are thrilled to be able to have a comfortable learning environment. The excitement each morning as students come in and grab their seats is unmatched. It is so satisfying to see students excited about learning all because they are comfortable. It is my hope that in the future I can add more seats to our classroom. Again, thank you for your generosity and kindness. We are truly thankful!”

• Let’S Go Shopping for Resources!

  Funded Oct 22, 2020

  Because of your generosity, I was able to obtain a gift card for purchasing materials through Teachers Pay Teachers. This has allowed me to purchase digital materials for my students. This year has been a challenge due to me being a hybrid teacher. Being hybrid has required that all work be digital so that all students have access to it. This gift card has helped to lighten the load tremendously. Thank you again for your support and helping my students continue to succeed. Your kindness truly does not go unnoticed.”

  Returning to school this year has been uneasy to say the least. I am forever grateful that I was able to get an air purifier for my students. This one simple object has provided comfort.

• We LOVE Novels!

  Funded May 23, 2019

  Thank you for helping to build our classroom library. Our Book Club has been engaging and so much fun since adding these new books to our room. We now have a series of books to enjoy and students are bringing these characters to life as they are getting to know them.

  Through these books, many 3rd grade standards have been taught. Ultimately, students are learning to love reading. When they are able to pick up a book and enjoy the book learning is taking place.

  Again, thank you for helping to build our classroom library. These books will be used for many years to come.”

• Flexing on Our Seats

  Funded Jul 7, 2019

  Thank you again for helping to bring this project to life. Since adding additional seating options to our classroom, all students have a flexible seating option. This has helped students to feel more included since all students have a seat. Student engagement has increased due to students being able to exert energy while learning. Studies have proven that movement is essential to learning. I will forever be grateful for your generosity to my students. This project will not only impact students this year but, students for years to come will be able to enjoy these seats.”
