• Stay Protected

  Funded Dec 6, 2022

  I am eternally grateful to our donors for blessing my students with a variety of individually wrapped face masks and N95 mask. Our area and school have seen an increase in cases of the flu and COVID. My students were absolutely elated, when I gave them permission to choose their individually wrapped masks.

  My students, both male and female, are grateful. I may also purchase camouflage face masks, as well as tye-dye masks. Both would be a hit with my students. They are excited about witnessing our DonorsChoose projects become fully funded.”

• "Water, Earth, Air!"

  Funded Nov 12, 2021

  My students were completely awestruck, when they saw the cases and cases of water. I chose several students to bring the water to my class. They were excited to get every case in place. One by one, they got their bottle of water and they beamed with pride. My vision came to fruition. I felt that creating our project, "Water, Earth, Air", would have an immediate and positive impact in my students' lives daily. Other students also came to me to ask for bottles of water and that's copasetic. My students are beyond appreciative, because you blessed my students with cases of water. Now, I don't have to lug water up the stairs. Additionally, our air purifier and odor neutralizer keeps our class fresh and clean everyday.”

• Stay Connected !

  Funded Dec 15, 2021

  I am extremely grateful for your generosity. I have been in education for over twenty-five years. However, I have never felt as supported as I have, since a colleague introduced me to Donors Choose. Your altruistic endeavors blessed my students with Jansport Mesh Backpacks, inspirational bracelets, and WiFi boosters to use in my classroom.

  Furthermore, it warms my heart, when my students comment about how well our internet service is working, because we have new WiFi boosters. I explained to them how we have been blessed by individuals and entities who want them to succeed. We are extremely thankful for your contribution.”

• “Breathe, Again”

  Funded Nov 25, 2021

  Our donors have made it possible for me to restock Gain Febreze, essential oil plug-ins, and individual sanitizing wipes. My students walk into our class and inhale deeply. The sighs of contentment that follow are priceless. It truly warms my heart.

  My class has always been known to smell good every day. Students often try to guess, where the relaxing fragrances originated. The aromatherapy helps students to focus on the task at hand. It soothes their senses and it makes for a pleasant environment that's conducive for learning.”

• "When It's Cold Outside"

  Funded Nov 18, 2021

  I am beyond grateful for your generosity to our students. You are such a blessing. Many of our students don't have basic items, such as lip balm, hand lotion, and beanies. I often see students with dry, cracked hands, so share my moisturizer with them.

  When my students were allow to choose items from our various drawers and cabinets, they were absolutely amazed. I was sure to reiterate that my dear friend, Tessa Holloway, a McKinley graduate, blessed us abundantly with her extremely generous donation. It is truly a blessing to be a blessing and Donors Choose has afforded me the opportunity to be a blessing to my entire school.”
