  • Don't Know Much About HIstory

    Funded Dec 20, 2024

    Thank you so much for your very generous donations to this project. Because of your help, I was able to help my students learn some really amazing events about our country's history. The books we asked for, have been incredibly helpful as we navigate our journey through the history of the United States of America. The book has been particularly helpful for my special education students. This simpler text and expalnations have made their work much easier. They enjoy reading the book and have even asked to read the parts we haven't covered yet!!

    Thanks again for all you do for students.”

  • Supplies, Supplies, Supplies

    Funded Aug 14, 2024

    Thank you so much for your very generous donation to our classroom project. We are thrilled to be receiving all of these supplies for my students to use. They are really in need of so many of these items for our daily use. Many of my students and their parents are not able to purchase everything on our school supply list, so having all of these supplies donated really help many of my students out. They are going to be so much more successful because they will have everything they need to participate in class daily. Thanks again for supporting my students.”

  • Print It!

    Funded Sep 9, 2024

    Thanks so much for your amazing generosity!n having this printer in class has been such asn amazing help to my students( and myself)! I am able to print out hard copies for my kids who prefer to work on paper instead of on a device. Having paper copies for those who want it, especially my special education students, is a huge help. Plus, it is nice to get them off of their decvices for a while.

    They have completed some fun projects, including our most recent, History in a Snowglobe! Even my most reluctant historians we excited to research and draw for this project, way more fun than writing a research paper!!

    Thanks again and happy holidays.”

  • Looking and Feeling Good

    Funded May 7, 2024

    Thank you so much for your very generous donation which funded this project.

    The items were really needed and arrived just in time for the new school year. Many of my students will be able to use the products we received throughout the school year. Some of them live in unstable living situations due to family issues or being recently arrived migrants. Having these hygiene kits to give to them makes their day a bit brighter. They don't have to worry about basic needs, and instead can focus on their schoolwork and friends.

    Thank you again for being a part of our educational journey! My students and I are very grateful.”

I am a middle school teacher in an inner city school with a mixed population of students. My students are eager to learn, do projects, and love to read new books. Due to numerous budget cuts, we are not receiving the same amount of money we normally do. Because of this I am not able to order any new supplies for my students. Please consider donating to one of my projects so we can add some new supplies to our classroom.
