  • Hands-On STEM for Future Innovators

    Funded Nov 13, 2024

    Thank you so much for your incredible support in bringing hands-on STEM resources into our classroom! The excitement was contagious as my students unboxed the robotics kits, building toys, STEM supplies, challenge cards, and pixel art sets. They immediately began exploring, brainstorming, and putting their creativity to the test. One memorable moment was when students worked in teams to build a structure that could support a weight, refining their designs through trial and error. The robotics kits have also been a huge hit, helping students grasp coding concepts in a tangible, engaging way.

    These supplies will continue to enhance our STEM learning as we dive into engineering challenges and creative coding projects. Soon, students will design and program robots to complete tasks and use pixel art to visualize coding concepts. Your generosity has given my students the opportunity to think critically, collaborate, and innovate in ways that will shape their futures. Thank you for believing in our classroom and making such a meaningful impact!”

  • Noise Free Learning

    Funded Oct 8, 2024

    I wanted to send a HUGE thank you to helping me get a class set of noise canceling headphones funded for our classroom. Having enough for such a large class is truly beneficial for everyone. The students use them almost daily and know just where to find them and just what they are used for. I have noticed the class taking responsibility for their own learning and grabbing them when they know things are getting too loud or they really need to focus on the task at hand. This donation has truly been one of the most impactful for my classroom, thank you again!”

  • Clean and Calm Classroom

    Funded Aug 14, 2024

    Thank you so much for the donations to our classroom. The students have truly benefited so much from all of the materials. The noise cancelling headphones have been a huge hit and are a constant use item in the classroom, they were so excited to see they had those available for use. The rotating book shelf and chair pockets have really helped the classroom stay clean and organized, students now have a space for all of their items.

    The students haven't really seen the true impact of a good laminator, but that donation has really helped me be more resourceful and given me the ability to protect items for future use.

    Thank you again for the continued support for our classroom and helping to keep my classroom as peaceful as possible!”

    Thank you so much for helping to provide the supplies that will help my students start off the school year successfully! The school year starts next week and it is a huge relief knowing that my students will be able to start the year without the added stress of school supplies. The supplies will also help ensure that I can welcome any new students in without them having to worry about if they have what they need or not.

  • Mystery Novel Discovery

    Funded Feb 22, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generous donations to our classroom novel study! My students have really enjoyed reading about they mystery in the Westing Game. The students are enthusiastic about reading daily to figure out more about the mystery of Sam Westing. Students have used their inferencing skills to critically think about what they feel will happen next in the novel. The novel has given students an opportunity to learn about diverse characters and challenges that people face in life that may not be outwardly visible, helping them better understand empathy.”

  • Harmony in Learning

    Funded Feb 7, 2024

    I am immensely grateful for the generosity of our donors whose support has empowered our students to thrive emotionally and academically. With the resources provided, my classroom has become a nurturing environment where social-emotional learning (SEL) flourishes. Students eagerly embrace group work, utilizing cushions to foster collaboration and empathy amongst peers. The arrival of a disco ball and karaoke setup has brought joy and laughter, serving as invaluable tools for essential brain breaks, allowing students to recharge and refocus.

    The excitement among students was palpable as they unwrapped the much-anticipated materials, knowing that these resources would not only enrich their daily experiences but also equip them with vital skills for managing emotions and regulating stress. As I look ahead to high-stakes state testing, I am confident that these tools will play a pivotal role in helping my students maintain calmness and composure amidst academic pressures. Moreover, the incorporation of brain breaks into our routine ensures that students have the necessary outlets to rejuvenate their minds and sustain optimal focus during rigorous learning tasks.

    I extend my deepest gratitude to our donors for their unwavering support, which has enabled me to create an environment where every student feels valued, empowered, and capable of navigating their emotions effectively. With these resources at my disposal, I am committed to nurturing the holistic development of my students and fostering a culture of resilience, empathy, and self-regulation that will serve them well beyond the classroom walls.”

  • Accelerated Readers

    Funded Nov 4, 2023

    Thank you so much for your generosity to our classroom. The books that we received have helped ensure that all of my students can reach their wildly important goal of meeting their AR reading goal. Students are reading at all different levels, so the lower level books ensure that those who are at a lower level can read as well and the headphones help students stay engaged on the online reading platform.

    The acrylic organizers have helped keep books in their places so they aren't lost and the stickers have provided a visual for students to quickly find books on their reading levels.

    Thank you again for supporting my growing readers with valuable materials!”

  • Back to School Essentials

    Funded Aug 2, 2023

    Thank you so much for your generous donations that helped my class transition back to school. The students were so excited to see the materials and have the ability to use them freely in our classroom.

    The favorite material that was provided is the privacy screens that the class has used during tests and when they are feeling overwhelmed and need a break. The vacuum has made classroom clean up and dismissal much smoother and helped to eliminate excess work for the custodians.

    All in all, the supplies have been so beneficial and will continue to be used throughout the remainder of the school you. Thank you donors for your continued classroom support!”
