  • Happy Classroom, Happy Kids

    Funded May 30, 2023

    I want to express my sincere and deep gratitude for all of your support. With your help, I have been able to create a classroom environment that is inclusive, welcoming, organized, and meaningful for my students and everyone who visits.

    Having bins to organize curriculum and materials has made it significantly easier for me as I work to plan lessons and get the materials to the students. I can quickly find what I need because everything has a place and everything is organized.

    Thank you all so much.”

    With gratitude,

  • Wiggle and Wobble Our Way to Success!

    Funded Mar 26, 2023

    I've received about 90% of the items that you helped me get and my students couldn't be more excited! We have wobble stools, bungee chairs, bouncy bands, and a whole sensory wall and area! These items have renewed our entire classes excitement for learning and has helped to create a safe and engaging environment for my students to thrive! My students have unique needs and these items have helped them work towards some goals such as communicating and requesting, staying at their seats during whole group and small group, and learning how to share, all while meeting important sensory needs.

    I am so incredibly thankful for everyone's generosity! Thank you!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Michelle

  • Eaglet Garden

    Funded Sep 30, 2020

    Thank you again for your generous contributions! The students have been incredibly eager and excited to start gardening. The beds are assembled and the ground leveled and cleaned up! In February we will begin planting!

    The kids have been learning about plant life cycles and have been talking about different things they would each like to plant. We plan on starting with some herbs including mint, rosemary, and lavender, and some vegetables including zucchini, tomato, and different types of beans!

    Words can't express how grateful we are for this opportunity, thank you so much for your contributions!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Michelle

The Cajon Valley Union School District utilizes a unique additional curriculum known as the World of Work.With an aim of closing the unemployment gap, the WoW curriculum enables students to map their educational goals to create a path to gainful employment. Students will have the opportunity to explore possible career paths while also learning about their strengths and interests. One of the World of Work 5th grade careers is a Horticulturist. An accessible garden will allow my students the opportunity to learn about this career path, while also learning about plants, nutrition, and sustainability. This grant will allow dozens of students, many of whom are low-income and have unique abilities, the opportunity to explore all of their senses while learning important skills. Students will be able to dig for worms, smell fresh basil and lemon verbena, and taste a juicy tomato freshly plucked from the vine, things that they might not have had the opportunity to experience previously. Throughout the school year, the following topics will be covered: planning a garden, seed starting, planting, harvesting, composting, and donating the crops to those in need. The students who are responsible for planning the crops will benefit from the real-life math and science lessons. The students responsible for maintaining the garden will learn valuable life skills, functional skills, and vocational skills. Students will be able to practice important skills relevant to the World of Work curriculum. Students will benefit from the teamwork and cooperation necessary to build and maintain an accessible food garden.
