  • Organization Is Our Focus

    Funded Apr 6, 2023

    We would like to begin to say, thank you so much for your generosity. Your donations have helped the students and staff of Pacoima charter Elementary School. Our awesome classroom feels so much organized and complete due to your help.

    Our students were excited to find out that we received donations. They were even more excited once our items arrived. They were quick to help my coworkers and myself with organizing our closets.

    Our classroom library feels so cozy, and we get many compliments from fellow teachers and staff. Thank you so much for the donations and please know that your kindness does not go unnoticed in our classroom.”

    With gratitude,

  • Supplies for the New Year

    Funded Sep 7, 2022

    Thank you for the donations for our classroom. We are happy to report that all materials have helped our classroom tremendously. Our students especially love the storage bins for our classroom library. These bins have made it easier to orange books and games. Our students and staff truly appreciate it.

    We are excited and forever grateful for our awesome shredder. Our classroom especially uses this when we shred important paper work and IEP goals. It has made it easier for us to shred in our own classroom rather than going to the office which is on the other side of the school.

    We love to teach our students about the importance of cleaning and who knew a simple broom and dust pan encourages our students to clean our lovely classroom. A lot of our students love to help pjs sweep the floors, and maintain a clean room.

    Thank you once again, we couldn't have done it without your support and generosity.”

  • Keeping Our Room Clean

    Funded Jul 20, 2022

    Thank you for your contribution to our class. Our students are very grateful for our new materials that we received.

    The first thing our student do before sitting down is washing their hands. The soap and soap dispenser are two things that we greatly appreciate in our class. Our students always tell us that the soap smells good, and their hands feel soft. Sometimes they spend a little too much at the sink just so they can wash their hands. Our staff has noticed that just those two simple materials has made a big difference in our classroom. It has encouraged our students to practice better hygiene skills and eliminate the spread of germs.

    The Lysol and Clorox wipes have been a main staple in our classroom. Our staff is responsible for using the Lysol only. We use the Lysol spray at the end of each student session. Once the kids leave our rooms we spray our room down, that way the next group come for their session we have a clean classroom for them. the kids love to help us wipe down the tables and help us clean.

    Thank you once again”

  • Classroom Resources

    Funded Mar 11, 2022

    Thank you so much for your contribution and donations. My students have been using all our new materials. Most of our students were impressed and excited for the new materials we received. For example, our students loved our new privacy folders. During the last few weeks of school, we were doing school wide testing. These folders came in handy. We used these privacy folders to cover students and reduce the risk of any cheating. Before we had flimsy folders, and they were worn out. These new folders are sturdy and amazing. Our students love them so much that they promised to take care of our new folders.

    Our students also love the new pencil grips. We have a lot students that go to Occupational therapy and are required to use a pencil grip when they are writing. we are happy to provide this to our students.

    thank toy once again. We appreciate your generosity. We love helping our students in any way we can.”

  • Chic and Beautiful Classroom

    Funded Jan 18, 2022

    Once again thank you for donating to our amazing classroom. My students and colleagues were filled with joy when we got our project completely funded. I had a couple of students tell me that they are most excited to see the outcome of our classroom. My students were most excited put to use our new materials.

    We made it a fun Friday, to decorate our classroom. We put color into our room but using brand new wallpaper and using the boarder that was donated to us. We all agreed to have an earthy/ peaceful theme in the class. All my students enjoyed helping to decorate the classroom. They all agreed that our classroom looks better and that it feels a lot cozier.

    We still have a lot of more work to do, in order to decorate our room, and make it feel welcoming to everyone. We are grateful that our Sped class is growing every day. We receive new students every month, and that has allowed us to receive a larger classroom. Our next steps are to make sure it feels inviting, clean, and safe. We will continue to decorate it and make it a place that our students will enjoy coming in to.”

    With gratitude,

The items I chose in my cart, like wooden letters, bulletin board materials, and wall posters, will help me decorate our spacious classroom. My job as an educator is not only to educate our little bright minds, but to also make them feel welcomed into our classroom. Decorating and creating safe spots encourages our students to come to our class and be ready to take on the day. When a classroom is decorated and filled with love, the students will feel welcomed and safe. These materials will create a positive learning environment for all students. These items will be beneficial for all students.
