  • Back to Basics

    Funded Dec 28, 2019

    I can't thank you enough for your kindness and generosity to the students of Sherrard Middle School. With the supplies in this project, my students will be able to have access to the basics needed for success the rest of this year.

    I can now offer my students markers, calculators, pencils, folders, and so much more. These are supplies that we may take for granted, but some students cannot afford to get school supplies. Thanks to your support, I can offer these supplies to my students at any time.

    On behalf of my 7th graders, I am so appreciative and thankful for you!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Yates

  • Physics Is Fun!

    Funded Aug 12, 2019

    Wow! I am so thrilled to have received these classroom materials through your generous donations. Students are always so curious and excited when they see boxes delivered to our room because they know that we have something new to look forward to.

    These materials will be used for our physics unit and will help students learn the concepts that sometimes seem difficult. They will be able to experience hands-on learning which will help bring the learning to life.

    Again, thank you so much for your kindness and support of education!”

  • Prepared For Success!

    Funded Aug 21, 2019

    I can't thank you enough for your generous donations to help my students begin the school year prepared for success. Each year, there are students in my classroom who cannot afford to buy school supplies, such as binders, ear buds, folders, etc. I was so happy this year to be able to donate the supplies from this project to those students.

    Just today, one student was struggling to get his old headphones to work while we were doing some work online. He was so happy when I offered him his very own set of ear buds to keep. It is moments like these that make posting projects on Donors Choose so worth it.

    Thank you again for supporting education!”

  • Periodic Problem

    Funded Apr 17, 2019

    Thank you so much for your kindness in donating to this project! My students now have an updated periodic table that will be so helpful as they learn the basics of chemistry. On behalf of my students and my school, I really appreciate your support for education.

    In addition, the science posters will help expose and motivate my students to learn more about science concepts and important figures in the field of science and STEM. They are colorful and fun to display in the classroom.

    Once again, thank you for your generosity!”

  • Organiztion Is Key!

    Funded Jan 31, 2019

    Thank you so much for the donations that are helping us get our classroom organized. With the Command hooks we got, we are able to hang up items for easy access and efficiency. The shelf we got with the bins for organizing various things, help make our classroom look nice and separate items that we need often.

    I believe that students work better in an organized environment and these items are helping a lot. Thanks to your kindness, our classroom looks neater and helps create a comfortable atmosphere to learn.”

  • Classroom Stocking Stuffers

    Funded Dec 8, 2018

    My students and I were so excited to get our packages in the mail. Since then, we have been using the classroom supplies to organize and become more efficient. I have been able to share pens, notebooks, markers, and so much more with my students. Teaching in a low-income school is often challenging because the students don't always have the supplies needed to be successful in the classroom. Your donation and these items have helped alleviate that challenge and ensure that we have enough supplies for everyone. We can't thank you enough!”

  • No Place Like Chrome

    Funded Sep 6, 2018

    On behalf of my students and I, I want to thank you so much for your kind donations that have allowed us to acquire a few more Chromebooks. With this equipment, we now have a full class set which means every student can get on their own Chromebook at all times. This is such an exciting opportunity for us to now be able to operate in a 1:1 environment and to be a paperless classroom! Think of all the paper we are saving now! Students have been working on web quests for chemistry and researching different topics for projects. It is amazing the world of learning that is opened up when you put a computer in the hands of a student. We appreciate your donations more than you know!!!!”

  • Second Best Seat in the House...

    Funded Mar 27, 2018

    On behalf of my students, we can't thank you enough for providing us with the tables and chairs for our classroom. It is amazing how much more relaxed the students are with having more flexible seating options. Our classroom looks like a new place, almost like a little cafe. The students have commented that it is so comfortable and cozy and that they love coming to my room. They fight over which chair they will get and are definitely enjoying our new furniture. Thank you again so much; we are very appreciative of your support!”

Every day, 100+ amazing students with loads of potential walk into my room, many of whom just walked out of very challenging circumstances and terrible tragedies. I want to provide them with the best learning environment possible. I am passionate about bringing technology and STEM education into my classroom and would be so grateful for the chance to provide my students with the opportunity to utilize current technology for learning. I want to open up a new world to them, a world of innovation and engineering, imagination and communication. I have personally purchased many things for my classroom in order to give my students the opportunity to have a hands-on science experience. I have built a fantastic class website and would love for my students to use it every day along with the millions of resources available online. However, without current, reliable computers, our learning is confined to only our classroom. Help me take learning to the next level for my awesome students!
