• Clean and Germ-Free

  Funded Jan 1, 2025

  Thank you so very much for supporting our classroom on this project. We really appreciate you. Our classroom has already benefited from our materials.

  My students were very happy to get "nice" tissues to use on their noses. Our Kleenex is not only soft but it allows students to blow their noses whenever needed. This helps keep germs off hands and surfaces. We are also loving having enough wipes to keep our classroom clean. We are able to not only disinfect surfaces but also wipe up spills, dust, and messes.

  We are so appreciative of your support. These materials help keep germs down so students can stay at school and learn. Thank you so much.”

• We Need Copy Paper

  Funded Dec 4, 2024

  Thank you so very much for donating to our project. We really appreciate your support.

  Our paper arrived yesterday and we are already putting it to good use. We were able to make the copies we needed. Copy paper is such an important part of education. I am so thankful that we have the tools we need to ensure student success. Now, my students can have math worksheets, reading passages, and so much more.

  We are very grateful for you. Thank you so much for giving my students this much needed resource.”

• Colored Pencils, Clipboards, Pencil Sharpener

  Funded May 16, 2024

  Thank you so very much for supporting my students and our classroom. We have used our clipboards and pencil sharpener every single day. My students love the colors and they love the versatility of being able to work from anywhere in our classroom. My students can bring their clipboards down to the floor or work standing up. This helps allow some movement while still completing assignments. My students also love their new colored pencils. They use them almost daily for drawing and coloring for both academics and for fun. Thank you so much for donating to my wonderful students. We really appreciate you.”

• Recess Time

  Funded May 17, 2024

  Thank you so much for supporting our classroom with new, fun recess items. My students loved using the variety of sports balls each day as well as the awesome sidewalk chalk. These items not only gave students something new to do but it also helped create new friendships and bonds. I saw new groups form over shared interesting in drawing, creating, and playing sports games. I love that the balls were great quality and will last for years to come. Thank you so much for investing in our class. We really appreciate you so much!”

• 100 Bead Rekenrek Number Racks

  Funded May 6, 2024

  Thank you so very much for supporting our classroom. We were so excited to get our number racks and we put them to use right away. My students loved them. It made math so much easier, especially for my hands-on and visual learners.

  I love how durable the racks are too. They will be put to great use for years to come. My next year's class will be lucky to start the year off with the number racks as they learn multiplication for the first time.

  I really appreciate you supporting us. It means so much to my class to have the tools for a great education.”

• We Love to Create

  Funded Jan 28, 2024

  Thank you so much for providing my classroom markers and colored paper! My students were beyond excited to get these items. Each child got their very own box of markers. They were so happy to have all the colors to keep right in their desks. They love the colors of paper too. They are so colorful, bright, and fun. We will use these as we create so many projects throughout the rest of the year. We appreciate your support so very much. We will have a ton of fun as my students create together. Thank you!!!”

• Warm Snow Gloves

  Funded Jan 25, 2024

  Thank you so very much for helping us to get warm, snow gloves. My students were beyond excited to get gloves. These gloves allowed them to be kids again and enjoy our Michigan winters. They loved being warm and snuggly instead of freezing. They have created big snow man and rolled snow balls without getting cold. You have brought fun back to our cold recess time. This is so important for 8 and 9 year old children. We cannot thank you enough for your kindness. We appreciate you so very much and are so grateful.”

• Let's Reach Our Goals

  Funded Nov 28, 2023

  Thank you so much for supporting our classroom with this special project!

  My students are working so hard and are so motivated to earn prizes now. My students were so excited when they first saw the prize box. I waited a few days to draw suspense and boy did it work! They were very eager to open it. My students also love seeing their progress displayed on our wall charts. They are so proud when they earn their next sticker. Each sticker is one step closer to earning their prize box item. I set goals that are achievable for each student so they can earn prizes often when they work hard.

  I cannot thank you enough for helping to motivate my students. This worked perfectly.”

• Knowledge Is Power

  Funded Sep 18, 2023

  Thank you so much for supporting this project. I was so excited to get new books to improve my language arts teaching methods. After teaching for almost 20 years, I still love to learn and model for students that you are never too old to learn new things.

  I have already used some new techniques with my class. After our Covid years, students have started school at lower and lower academic levels. We are always looking for new ideas to reach and inspire our struggling learners. Thank you for helping to inspire new methods and techniques to use in our classroom. I am very grateful.”
