  • Warm Winter for our Classroom Community

    Funded Dec 14, 2023

    This project was a very special one. Many times projects I create are for classroom supplies needed to support my students learning. However, students cannot learn if they do not have their basic necessities met. When I notice the weather getting colder and some of my students not wearing jackets, I knew what had to be done. With your donations I was able to provide each student in my classroom with a warm jacket for this winter. Whether students had jackets at home or not, we guaranteed that everyone would stay warm this winter. Those same jackets are still being worn months later. Not only were students super happy with their jackets, but parents were extremely grateful. Thank you for your support in making this possible.”

  • Circle Time Teaching Cart

    Funded Apr 13, 2023

    Thank you so much for coming together and donating towards this project. Having this teaching cart in my classroom has made such a big difference. Not only did it provide our classroom with more storage but it also maximized my instruction time. With the teaching cart being at the students level I am able to create more interactive lessons where they can come to the board on the teaching cart and participate. Having the teaching cart also created a change in my students and now I see them more engaged. Thank you again!”

  • Wiggle It Out

    Funded Apr 3, 2023

    Thank you so much for donating towards our project. Everyone is so happy with these new wobble stools!! Students have been able to get their wiggles out and stay engaged and focused on their activities. Not only are the students happy but so are our custodians. These wobble stools have a rubberized bottom that protects our classroom floors. This means no more damage! Students were so excited to see the boxes get delivered to our classroom and couldn't wait to see what was inside. I could not contain their excitement when they saw our new stools. Thank you!”

  • Scissors for Little Hands

    Funded Jan 6, 2023

    Thank you so much for donating towards our projects. When people think of kid scissors they usually only think of blunt non sharp scissors. However even those can be difficult for small students to use since they have yet to develop their fine motor skills. Having this beginner scissors makes it easier for student to practice cutting because the scissors open after each cut. For students that don't have the force to open them with only one hand these were perfect. I noticed that after using these scissors students picked up cutting skills within a few days. Thank your for helping them grow and learn!”

  • Pre-K Graduation in Style

    Funded Apr 5, 2022

    I can't thank you enough for your generous donations. Some might look at finishing pre-k as something little or insignificant. However, you can only have a first one time. My little ones are finishing their FIRST year of school and having these cap and gowns made it so much more special. Students walked with their heads held high and with a sense of accomplishments. Parents watched with some tears in their eyes as they see their little ones grow up. They all looked so cute during our graduating ceremony. Thank you for helping us create everlasting memories.”
