  I want to thank Verizon for the wonderful match offer, and Chevron Fuel My School Program that allowed me to get these devices. The new iPad, and two Chromebooks that we have been given will really help my students to excel in the Wonderful world of civics and law. My students will be able to individually go over items on their own without fighting for technology. This is only the first step of increase for our classroom! When I told my kids the exciting news, they shouted for joy!! Thank you again for what you have done for my students.

Thank you for allowing us to share this moment together in their Middle school lives. I want to make sure their education is not limited because of no technology. You have made this possible!

• Essential Needs For A New School Year

  Funded Aug 22, 2018

  Thank you for your generous donation and helping my students get the basic needs for their hygiene. Many of my students do not how to use female products or have the resources that is needed to keep them clean and hygienic. By having an all female school club, Ladies of Essence, I am able to educate my students on female hygiene. I teach them how to use the female products and how to take care of themselves in a healthy way. My students are very happy to be part of the club and to receive the information and resources to help them become young adults. Thank you for donating to the project so that they can get all the necessary resources that my students need. Thank you!!!”

• Interactive and Hands-On Learning Increases Student Engagement

  Funded Mar 27, 2018

  Ripple, thank you for your generous contribution. My students and I are very grateful for your helping us getting the supplies they need for their interactive projects. When my middle school students saw the supplies being delivered to the classroom, their mouths dropped in awe of how people like you are so kind to help them with their learning. They were even more excited to use the supplies for their learning. We used the supplies to create flip charts, posters, interactive word walls, and interactive games to learn both civics and US History. This was extremely helpful with all of my students especially the students that came from Puerto Rico to escape Hurricane Maria. Thank you for making this possible. We are forever grateful.”

• Learning U.S. Civics through Hands-on Learning and Critical Thinking

  Funded Dec 20, 2017

  Thank you so much for helping my classroom by providing the class with a storage unit and bins to store my students' supplies, folders, and books. This has helped tremendously in keeping my students and classroom organized. And as a result, my students and I are more efficient in my teaching and in their learning. Because we are more efficient, more learning takes place and also reduces anxiety and clutter in the classroom. My students love the new storage unit and are excited that we now have a more organized location to store our things. Your generosity has brought smiles to me and my students. Thank you for supporting my project and for your generous contributions.”
