  • Food Bags

    Funded Apr 17, 2024

    I sincerely appreciate your support in ensuring that my students have access to essential food supplies throughout the weekend, which significantly enhances their ability to focus and learn effectively during school hours. Your contribution in providing weekend bags has been met with heartfelt gratitude from my students, underscoring the profound impact of your generosity on their well-being and educational journey.

    Beyond immediate nourishment, your assistance plays a pivotal role in fostering a sense of security and stability among my students. By receiving consistent support, they are not only empowered to concentrate on their studies but are also motivated to acquire the necessary skills to sustain themselves independently. This initiative is instrumental in shaping their future outlook, as they aspire to create a stable environment where their own future children can thrive without the uncertainty of life's basic necessities. Your dedication to their welfare is invaluable and deeply appreciated, ensuring that they can strive towards a brighter and more promising future.”

    With gratitude,

  • Part 3: Comfortable Stools

    Funded Dec 4, 2019

    My students and I are using the new stools daily. We love them. Thank you. The students move them easily around the room to get help or work in groups. They also use them as a table when they want to work away from tables and use a shorter stool as a seat.

    My students and I were so excited about the new stools and the students are using them daily. The stools can be moved easily around the room, and some students have even enjoyed using them as a table. We would like to thank you for providing the stools that help make our classroom an enjoyable learning space.

    Our next steps will be focused more on learning materials and supplies, such as headphones.

    Again, thank you so much for all of your help. The stools will be a fixture in the classroom for many years to come.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Drake

  • More Comfy Stools

    Funded Aug 1, 2019

    My students and I love our new stools! We like how easy they are to move around to different tables, as we are always in groups or needing an extra seat somewhere. We also enjoy how much freedom we have with the stools. The students use them to sit on, lean on, and as a footstool.

    My students came in the first day of school and were excited by having different seating option they hadn't had before. They always want to sit on them. They are still enjoying them nine weeks into the school year.

    My next step is to get more taller stools. The taller sixth graders prefer those, as they are easier to sit on without having to lean over.

    We are so thankful for the donors who donate to make our classroom fun and comfortable, so that the students can fully focus on learning math.”

  • Sturdy Stools

    Funded Nov 27, 2018

    Thank you so much for investing in my student's comfortability in my classroom to make their math work a bigger focus. They enjoy them more than the other chairs. The students focus better on their math which helps in their grades and ability to accomplish more difficult tasks when they are comfortable. These stools give them that chance.

    My students were so excited when they saw the box. The students' initial thought was why does Mrs. Drake have a huge Christmas tree box. Then, they saw me start unpacking to which they got excited about them. They fight over sitting on them, beg to have their assigned seat on them, and move them all over the room. Thank you for the new stools as many of my students have never seen new furniture.

    The next step for my classroom is to replace more furniture so that more can enjoy the comfort while working on their math. I plan to get more of these stools soon.”
