All Hands on Deck

Funded Nov 28, 2018

I wanted to thank you for supporting my classroom with the purchase of calculators and algebra tiles. Your display of generosity showed my students that there were people who cared enough to help them. Now that they have calculators, they are becoming more comfortable and proficient in working with fractions in their math work. The algebra tiles will help them to understand equations through a hands on approach.

Most of my students have struggled for years in school and as a result, have given up and feel defeated even before they try something. The idea that someone that didn't even know them would help them was a difficult concept to understand. You made them feel special.

Knowing how to use a calculator to help them to solve problems is a crucial skill. Without your generosity, they would not have the opportunity to learn and become successful in the classroom, and ultimately their life after school.”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Dean
