• STEM, the Great Thinker Maker!

  Funded Oct 30, 2023

  Thanks so much for giving so generously to our first STEM project! Our kids were absolutely stunned that our project was funded so fast and that materials were in hand less than a week later. We are at a loss for words in expressing our gratitude but here's a bit about the impact.

  First and foremost, our kids are excited about Science again! The IQ Kits are already being put to use to create and model the electrical circuits we've been learning about.

  Second, while they are still engaging in trial and error, we've already had students make connections between sustainable energy solutions using the magnetic tiles.

  All in all, our students are having fun creating and collaborating, so thank you!”

• Creative Arts for Aspiring Artists!

  Funded Aug 16, 2023

  First off, thank you again for your support and belief in our project. We are already 3 weeks into our creative arts program and students have already learned the basics of rug making by spending time creating personal stencils, choosing their colors, and familiarizing themselves with the rug making tools. They couldn't believe that the materials were all donated!

  In the next few weeks we will move on to the application stage where students get to bring the stencils to life. We cannot wait to share photos of the finished products with you soon. We appreciate your patience and your support as always!”

• Youth Basketballs & Squeeze Bottles for the Win!

  Funded Dec 31, 2022

  What an amazing thing you all are contributing to. Together we've managed to equip 55 student athletes with the means to practice foundational skills such as dribbling, passing, rebounding, layups, and shooting the basketball. So thank you.

  But also, thank you for always supporting our goal of building a love and joy for organized sports. Already we've learned that Focus, Resiliency, and Teamwork (or Wolfpack as we call it), are keys to success on and off the court through our various drills and scrimmages.

  Our students are learning a lot about themselves and each other so thank you again!”

• Basketball, Football, Soccer, Volleyball, Oh My!

  Funded Sep 19, 2022

  What an incredible impact your donation has had. Our Flag Football team started the year with 2 tough losses and ended up finishing with 8 straight wins! The cherry on top was a dominating run in the playoffs to secure our first every Flag Football Championships!

  And now, we turn our attention to our FOUR basketball teams serving over 60 students! Students have already begun weekly practices, even coming in during the Winter Break to improve their fundamentals and conditioning. Families, students, and coaches are excited at the prospect of bringing home a basketball championship as well!”

• Basketball Uniforms: Look Great, Feel Great, Play Great!

  Funded Feb 17, 2022

  Thank you once again for helping make sure that our student athlete's looked like a unified team in their uniform shorts and shirts! The look and feel of the new equipment gave our students a sense of pride and belonging amongst the other teams and for that we are extremely grateful.

  As the season comes to an end, we have been so appreciative of all your support through funding projects, sending thoughts and words of encouragement, or even showing up to games when you could. Thank you!

  Thank you so much for helping build a love for the beautiful game of basketball in our scholars. We can't wait for next season!”

• Basketballers In Training!

  Funded Nov 30, 2021

  Your kindness goes unmatched yet again! Thank you so much for helping fund our basketball training balls, sweat sleeves, and traveling packs.

  Our students have been busy working on their shooting, dribbling, and passing over the past 6 weeks in preparation for our first game next week. They are equally excited and nervous about playing in their first game but I am confident that the materials you helped provide for them will make them feel at easy once the first whistle blows.

  Thank you so much for your donation and your support!

  Go Wolves!”

• Future Flag Football Champs!

  Funded Nov 3, 2021

  THANK YOU! Your donation has meant so much to our two flag football teams! Students in grades 4-8 were able to prepare for a tough season and today, one of our teams is competing for FIRST place to close out our season!

  Your donation has meant a world of difference for our students and your act of generosity is an amazing example of giving when you can. In addition, our students have been able to practice good sportsmanship, develop their leadership and collaborative skills, and get introduced to the world of competitive sports in a fun and safe way.

  As the season comes to a close, please know that all the items will continue to be used to prepare for the basketball season where we will work on developing 3 new teams! We look forward to updating you in the future with more projects and more news!”

• Recess Matters!

  Funded Aug 18, 2021

  It's been two weeks since our materials arrived and all I can say is wow! Not only have our students had the best time being able to use the soccer goals, jump ropes, flags and cones, but they also took so much joy in working together to unpack and put the equipment together!

  The new soccer goals are better suited for our 4th and 5th grade scholars who were previously using broken cones and backpacks as goal markers, the jump ropes have helped keep our students active during recess, and the flags and cones have already been put to use during flag football tryouts and practices!

  All in all, I cannot say thank you enough on behalf of our 280 students and 30 staff members. Your donations have made a significant impact on our students social-emotional well being, mental, and physical health.”

• Mic Drop!

  Funded Aug 17, 2019

  We are so grateful for your generous donation to help bring microphones to our campus. We've been able to give our students the experience of making their own sound bites to use on their digital arts projects!

  Our students were ecstatic when they opened the box, amazed by the high quality equipment you were able to help provide!

  In the next few weeks, our students will get to interview their peers and teachers around campus to get news anchor experience. In addition, the microphones will help bring out Winter Concert to life for our audiences in Decemeber!”

• Say Cheese! Wait, We Need a Camera First!

  Funded May 9, 2019

  They say a picture is world a million words. So you can only guess how many laughs, memories, and stories our Yearbook staff captured after snapping over 2,000 photos within the first two weeks of unboxing their brand new camera!

  Our students were able to capture the candid moments shared between friends, the smiles and pride that beamed from parents as they watched their sons and daughters graduate from the 5th and 8th grade, and find the time to produce a 48 page yearbook!

  Our editor in chief, Skyler, was especially excited to get her hands on the new camera, spending the first few hours with it studying how to use it so she could train the rest of her staff how to capture all the important middle school moments! Thank you for all your genorisity!”
