  • Encouraging Readers

    Funded Jan 27, 2025

    I am so humbled to say that my project was fully funded. I cannot wait to share this exciting news with my students. Your generosity and kindness towards helping my students is appreciated more than you realize. These items will not only benefit my current students, but future students as well. Thank you for making a difference. ❤️”

    Mrs. Ruiz

  • Supporting the Whole Student in the Special Education Classroom

    Funded Feb 4, 2024

    Your generosity has already made a huge difference in my classroom for my students. I have set up an area with self regulation tools for them to utilize as needed throughout the day to help them be and feel more successful. Having a variety of tools, has given the students more choice and has helped them (with guidance) start to understand what works for them as individuals.

    Additional hands on materials for reading support for these sane learners have been a huge success.

    Tge masking tools for reading has boosted the confidence in my students with significant reading challenges. They have increased the frequency of volunteering in terms of reading out loud.

    Your support truly is making a difference- I am truly thankful.”

  • Leveled Books: the Gift Kids Can Open Again and Again

    Funded Feb 2, 2022

    Thank you once again for your thoughtfulness and generosity. The books are absolutely wonderful! My students have been enjoying the various books purchased for language arts assignments, to better understand things in history (for Social Studies), and for pleasure reading. They actually beg to read in my reading book area which is so refreshing to see coming from students that have been reluctant readers in the past.

    Your kindness has truly impacted my classroom and my students in such a positive way. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.”

    Mrs. Ruiz

  • Social Emotional Wellbeing in the Classroom During and Beyond COVID

    Funded May 19, 2021

    Thank you so much for creating such a relaxing and calming learning environment for my students. They love coming to resource and have been having a wonderful transition back to school!

    The light coverings have helped students not request lights off while working, as they toned down the bright lights perfectly.

    The social story books are in what we call The Calm Zone, a place for students to use sensory tools and work through challenges throughout the day. It is already a favorite area for students.

    I could go in and on with how your generosity has impacted my classroom. Your thoughtfulness truly made this possible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

  • Distance Learning Student Care Packages

    Funded May 17, 2020

    Thank you doesn't cover the amount of joy you helped bring to 18 different children! Various items in the care packages were used during distance learning sessions such as fraction puzzles, white boards, clocks, and various math manipulatives.

    Each student received 3-4 books to read on or slightly above their level. I encouraged students and parents to utilize what was given to help maintain their skills during summer break.

    Deliveries took me 7 hours as I visited with each child and their praise for your kindness was endless. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. God bless.”

    Mrs. Ruiz

I hope to put these materials into gift bags I have at home and deliver these to my students even though I live 45 minutes away. I want to see them smile and support their hard working parents with materials for learning during this difficult time. It is well known that students with IEPs may struggle academically, however with taking away the one-on-one and small group intensive supports that are in schools, these students can regress academically and emotionally. I hope this will help prevent that. Thank you for considering .
