  • We Are..... Ready! Responsible! Respectful! Safe!

    Funded Mar 23, 2022

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Our students are so excited to spend their PBIS points with the new rewards that have been received. Many of our students have saved up their points all year to be able to buy something big out of our case. They were super excited about the Dino Dig rock boxes and the invisible pens. They have worked super hard this year on their good behavior and earning points. Thank you for helping us stock the cabinets with stuff that they want to spend their points on. It is donors like you that help our schools work”

  • Fun Games That Will Last For Many Years!

    Funded Nov 30, 2021

    Thank you so much for all of your supplies to help make these games for my children. We were able to laminate and make math and reading games that we will be able to use for many years. In reading, we were able to push their weekly spelling words in sight words and make a match game with him. In math I was able to make flashcards to help them remember their addition and subtraction facts. I was also able to make extra sets of these cards to send home with him to study. Thank you for donating to our classroom into our school. It is donors like you that help teachers like me take care of these Littles.”

  • Math & Reading Games That Will LAST!

    Funded Jul 15, 2021

    Thank you to all of the donors who donated to this project and helped it fund. Having a laminator in our classroom has been a game changer. Students are able to make new games and get them laminated right then. When students are involved in the work, they enjoy the play more. Students learn best through play and this is no exception. Thank you for purchasing the laminating film for our room. We will use it for new games and to laminate their artwork and writings that we want to keep safe. Thank you again for caring for my kiddos.”

  • IXL for Math Enrichment and Review!

    Funded May 19, 2021

    Thank you for everyone who supported and donated to this project. I love using IXL in the classroom as an enrichment and refinement for students. They can work at their level and feel successful!! They love wining the awards and stickers at the end when they have reached a goal. Many of my students play this program at home because they love it so much!! Because of your donation, I am about to use the data given to me to see where my kids need extra help and where they are excelling. Thank you for your help and donation.”

  • Printer Wants to Print, Printer Needs Ink!

    Funded May 3, 2021

    Thank you so much for supporting my classroom during these hard times. My students love being able to print stuff off of our printer in the classroom. Having colored copies of notes, newsletters, and photos just work better than black & white. By helping to support my classroom with your donation, I have been able to hang colorful charts and notes in my classroom for the student to use. I have also been able to make copies of these posters for the kids to p at their desk and to take home to use. Thank you for your donation and support!”

  • Ink for Our New Classroom Printer

    Funded Dec 2, 2020

    Thank you so much for your patients in writing this thank you letter. With school being close, and then opened, and then hybrid, it was been an interesting year. I wish to thank you for your generous donation to my classroom. Ink is so expensive, yet is something that is used daily in my classroom. Being able to print centers, HW, parent letters, and so much more in my classroom makes it easier for me to mange my time. There have been many times I would walk all the way to the office only to find the copier occupied or being worked on. Thank you for the donations and for supporting my students.”

  • Basic Supplies for Extraordinary Students!

    Funded Oct 24, 2019

    Thank you so much for your patients in writing this thank you letter. With school being close, and then opened, and then hybrid, it was been an interesting year. I wish to thank you for your generous donation to my classroom. My students love having new markers, crayons, colored pencils, and a pencil sharpener in our classroom. It is amazing how a new box of crayons can change an "I can't" attitude to a "LOOK WHAT I CAN DO!" attitude. Thank you for the donations to my classroom and for supporting my students.”

  • Headphones for Chromebooks!

    Funded Oct 30, 2019

    Thank you for go front us these great headphones. I love that the students can work in their own computer and listed to their books, apps, and educational clips for school. Everyone can work on their own work without being bothered by others. Plus, since everyone now has their own pair, we don't have to worry about sharing unwanted germs with each other. Having their own pair of headphones has also stopped the arguing over "the new pairs". Parents are not able to afford headphones for their students to use. This helps in so many way. Thank you for your support and help!!”
