    Funded Sep 6, 2017

    I cannot thank you enough for supporting our need for classroom books. My students yelled with excitement when I told them we are receiving new books! It is so crucial to keep a book in their hands at all times and you have made that possible by providing exciting titles. Thank you!!”

  • Bouncy Bands for Bouncy Feet

    Funded May 31, 2017

    Thank you so much for your generous donation that has supported my students in our classroom! In our fourth grade class, we have 11 students with special needs and many other students who are busy bodies. Our classroom is overfilled with students and desks which makes movement difficult. On several occasions, I have had students trip over chairs, desks and book bags. Bouncy bands have been placed on each student's chair providing a way for movement throughout the day that has limited their need to get up and walk around the classroom.

    We are in a generation where students are expected to sit in a chair for 80% of the day. My sweet fourth graders need movement to allow for them to refocus. These bands help to ensure these children are expending energy. When I told our class that Sonic funded our bouncy band projects, they jumped up and screamed. They were even more excited when I told them that each student would get a bouncy band for their chair! Thank you for your support to our classroom- my students will have successful year!”

    With gratitude,

    Dr. Bissell

Bouncy Bands will allow my energetic students to expend energy while actively engaging in instruction. The school I work in does a great job of providing time for students to move around throughout the day. But, even with the extra time, my students spend ample amounts of time seated. Within our classroom, many of my students require extra breaks throughout the academic day to regain their focus. However, with frequent breaks, we lose precious time for academics. Bouncy bands will provide a fun way for each student to use their energy that is quiet and not disruptive of the learning environment.
