STEM Bins
Funded Aug 14, 2024You've already made a tremendous impact already, and my classes cannot thank you enough. Because of your generous donation, I was able to purchase bins and fill them with games, manipulatives, building materials, and drawing materials. My students will be able to use these items in their STEM bins to create and be engineers and artists.
The STEM bins and materials have only been in the classroom for a couple of weeks, but students have already been using them to create structures, pictures, and play. One added benefit was students communicating and collaborating together to build structures.”

Funded Aug 5, 2020You have truly helped my students get off to a "Great Start" this school year! The access you have provided to individual supplies- like pencils, pounces and earbuds have been such a great resource for my students. The different colored pencil pouches and earbuds were a hit with my fifth graders! They have been able to come to school and have the school supplies they need to immediately get started with their learning.
Additionally, your generosity brought us individual hand sanitizers, wipes and Kleenex tissues. Being able to give my students individual hand sanitizers was crucial in helping us stay healthy and continue with our learning. They were so excited when they got in line to get their items to go in their pouches! We use the wipes to help with wiping off desks and seats to help and maintain a clean, safe learning environment. And in our classroom, you can never have too many Kleenex! Again, I appreciate your donations so much and can't thank you enough.”

Funded Dec 13, 2011To say thank you is not enough for what your donations have done to improve the learning in my classroom. I appreciate your wish to give and how you have looked to education as your place to donate. Our classroom has been changed in such a positive way through your help.
My project and need for aerobics balls in my classroom was brought about by my students wanting movement throughout their learning day. Initially, I placed the balls in my centers and let those with the highest need use them as chairs all day. The aerobic balls were such a success the very first week, I incorporated them throughout the classroom much quicker than I anticipated. My students responded and stayed focused on their learning much longer with the help of the movement of the ball. Action based learning is happening in my classroom everyday because of your help. Thank you again for your donation.”

Funded Jan 2, 2009Thank you so much!! My class is going to be so excited when I tell them about the wonderful gifts we will receive! They will think it is Christmas all over again.
I appreciate you and your generosity so much. As a teacher, sometimes it is hard trying to provide supplies on your own, but with your help, I can get my students chapter books so they love and enjoy reading. My students don't have a lot, but you have just helped them tremendously by giving them an extra friend (a good book). Thank you again”
