  • Brr... Its Cold Outside!!

    Funded Jan 27, 2025

    Thank you so much for the wonderful items that came for my students. Their faces lit up with surprise when they saw the wonderful items sent to keep them warm. It will be easier for them to learn and come to school because they will be dry and warm.

    Thank you so much for caring about children and donating to this project. My students' next steps are getting ready for graduation and exploring the opportunities to go and visit New York in several ways. The rain coats will be great because in these coming months, rain is predictable, but it will not stop the students from learning and exploring.

    Once again, thank you for supporting this project and making all this possible!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Blackwood

  • Comfortable Seating

    Funded Jan 13, 2025

    Thank you so much for the beautiful table and chairs. The students were so surprised and shocked to see it when it came in and the room was brighter because they now had a comfortable place to read and learn during small group.

    The students all ran to the table and wanted to sit down and enjoy a quiet and comfortable place to read and complete math assignments.

    This table was very impactful for me as a teacher because I can have 4 students seated comfortable and meet their needs all at the same time without having to reach over and strain myself. The students are all focused and can see me when seated at the table.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Blackwood

  • Laptop for Learning!

    Funded Mar 26, 2024

    Thank you so much for donating to this project. The students are in love with the new computer and love seeing work on the smart board using the computer. The students and I are able to google vocabulary words, conduct brain breaks and I am able to communicate with parents on an easier and faster pace using the computer.

    You have allowed for technology to be incorporated in ways that is unimaginable. You have opened up a world of possibilities to students who are limited in internet and computer access.

    Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

  • Art Supplies Please

    Funded Jan 25, 2024

    Thank you so much for your wonderful donation to the "Art Supplies Please" project. The students have now become more engaged with the love of Art. They are taking more interest in painting and looking around their environment to see what they can capture within their paintings.

    When the students first saw the materials that were received they all ran to the boxes and wanted to open them immediately to be begin painting. They tried on the smocks and now they have a variety of choices in paint brushes in order to capture and illustrate what their heart desires without feeling limited in what they can paint on paper.

    Once again thank you for your donations. It is and will be put to good use this year!”
