  Funded Dec 11, 2024

  Thank you so much for the awesome supplies you gave me to improve our Tiger News broadcast. To see your work in action, check out our Instagram page @ps205x or our YouTube channel @205TigerNews. The supplies you gave us have made filling an easier and fun process. The students feel so professional sitting in front of the tripod and large green screen. We will be able to use these supplies for many years to come! I am so grateful to you for all the help you have given my students through Donors Choose. Thank you!”

• Art Vocabulary Amplified

  Funded Mar 10, 2025

  Thank you again for your continued support of my school and my students! I cannot say enough times how helpful you have been and what an impact you have had.

• Recess Renovation

  Funded Jun 10, 2024

  Thank you so much for donating to my "Recess Renovation" project. All of my students have absolutely loved using all of the new toys!

  Our schoolyard is a paved lot. We do not have a playground, or basketball hoops. It is so important for us to have a collection of engaging equipment for the students to use outside. These items not only keep them happy and entertained, but they also help them build up their gross and fine motor skills.

  In addition, playing collaborative games outside is a great way for them to get exercise and build important social skills. Thank you again for your generous support of my project.”

• Graduation Galas

  Funded May 12, 2024

  Thank you so much for donating to my Graduation Galas project. The materials you provided me were a huge success. I was able to make our gymnasium look beautiful and special for the students on their graduation day. These decorations have been nicely stored, and I will continue to use them for years to come. Donors like you help provide equity to students whose parents are unable to fundraise for all of these "extras" that make school celebrations special and memorable. Over the years you have given my students so much, and I am so thankful.”

• Art Room Essentials

  Funded Mar 27, 2024

  Thank you so much for helping me gain materials to make more art room more functional and student friendly. The decorations are extremely motivating to students. The art room is a happy cheerful place where they feel safe and motivated.This ensures they are able to be successful. Managing 30 children in an art room is no easy task, so items that help with that are clutch! The storage shelves for student items and art materials have been life changing for us! Things are flowing way more seamlessly now. Without support from donors like you, my students would not have access to so many extras that may seem unimportant, but actually go a very long way!”

• 100 Days Brighter

  Funded Jan 10, 2024

  The 100 Days Brighter supplies you helped to find were a HUGE success! The children were blown away to have such a spectacular celebration.

  They loved seeing their clothing light up under the black lights. In addition, all of the neon posters and signed looked awesome. They were especially thrilled to each receive a glowing bracelet.

  We do not have money in the budget to provide our students with the type of celebrations children in other districts receive. Thank you for helping to give them such a fun event. We will be able to reuses these materials for years to come. You have made many children smile!!!!”

• Accessible and Organized

  Funded Nov 28, 2023

  These cubbies have totally transformed my classroom. I used to have one large bin for storing student items. It was a disaster! Everything piled on top of everything else, water bottle spilling, things getting lost, etc.

  Thanks to the cubby storage, kids can easily store and find their items. It's making transitioning between classes so much easier.

  The cubbies are also very helpful in organizing the massive amount of materials and supplies that I have. They are easily accessible and visible when needed. Thank you so much!”

• Art Chill Zone Seating

  Funded Oct 11, 2023

  Thank you so much for providing me with awesome "Chill Zone" seating options. The students love to take advantage of them when they're feeling upset, or when they want to read a book.

  Social and Emotional Learning is a huge part of our focus as a school. A major component of SEL is helping children learning how to regulate their emotions. The children are taught that "Chill Zones" are there for them when they need to decompress or take a break.

  Having a cozy "Chill Zone" right in my classroom is so important for deescalation. Thank you again for supplying me with these resources.”
