  • Shine-On through Kindness Rocks

    Funded May 3, 2024

    Shine-On day was a success thanks to your generosity! Thank you for supporting such a special day. My daughter Genesis Alicia Silva would have been turning 19 this year and I get to teach kindness in honor of her. The goal was to do random acts of kindness throughout the school. Our students had opportunities to learn about how to be kind and how to treat people that may look or act different.

    Thanks to you, we were able to write kind messages on rocks. We started our school kindness rock garden! It was so much fun for the students and staff alike. We chose a special tree between two picnic tables to put our beautiful rocks under. Our kindness rocks look beautiful! We are so grateful for you! ¡Gracias!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Silva

    Thanks to you, we were able to tie dye over 500 shirts! It was so much fun for the students and staff alike. We all looked spectacular and the best part is that we will be using the same Shine-On tie dye shirts for Field day! We get to use these more than once! We are so grateful for you! ¡Gracias!”

  • Reading Is Life!

    Funded Dec 17, 2022

    Here at Joseph Metcalf School in Holyoke, MA, we are working diligently to instill in our students a love for learning and reading. Reading is used daily. We hope that they would find purpose and engage in phonics and literacy activities.

    During literacy centers we now, THANKS to YOUR DONATIONS, have colorful cardstock to create fun, visually attractive, and organized literacy centers. Those cardstock packets are being shared among 3 teachers to be used in our English and Spanish classrooms.

    We also received bracelets and stickers to motivate our students to want to read. They all say special, positive messages and we hope they will really believe the words written on these bracelets and stickers. We believe in them and want them to be able to believe in themselves. These stickers are extra special because they are in Spanish. It isn't easy to find Spanish stickers around here. As if stickers, bracelets, vivid colored cardstock wasn't enough, we also got finger lights to help students focus on each word and line as they read!

    We are so grateful and can't wait to be able to use these in the classroom.”

    Our first grade Metcalf dual language scholars are so excited to have sturdy, cool- colored working headphones to use for all their learning and technology applications! The best part is that now, thanks to your donations, we also have cool chair pockets where they get to store and have easy, quick access to their headphones and materials. Game changer already in just days of use. Delivery was also so fast! We are beyond grateful and feel more organized and ready to conquer the next year! Our hearts are full!
