• A Cozy New Classroom Rug

  Funded Oct 27, 2023

  Words cannot express my gratitude. We needed a rug so we could have a comfy place to sit during our lessons. Sitting on the cold floor was not fun.

  I received the rug on a Friday and placed it in our room. I couldn't wait for Monday so my kids could see what we got. You cannot imagine their expressions that morning. They were so excited. Many ran over to check it out, others already chose what colors they were going to sit on. It was a great morning.

  Thanks again!! It is wonderful to have a place to sit to learn, do writing, work on an activity, and read a book.”

• Create! Kindergartners Becoming Artists

  Funded Apr 6, 2021

  Thank you so much for supporting my classroom with art supplies!

  Your generous donations have provided much-needed art supplies for students who were not able to bring supplies. Not having supplies in school can really result in a lot of anxiety for these kiddos, and this year, they did not have to worry.

  My class is loving the new paper, scissors, colored pencils, watercolors and construction paper! There's nothing like having fresh, new supplies!

  My students and I greatly appreciate your kindness and support of our classroom!!!”
