Thanks to your amazing generosity, our "Hydration Happiness" project was a huge success, bringing refreshing drinks to our students! Your donations directly provided them with much-needed hydration throughout the day, especially during active learning and warm weather. We've seen a noticeable boost in their energy levels and focus, as well as a decrease in complaints about thirst. This simple yet vital project truly contributed to their overall well-being and created a more comfortable learning environment. We are incredibly grateful for your support in keeping our students happy and hydrated!”

Thanks to your incredible generosity, our classroom has been utterly transformed into a vibrant, comfortable, and truly nurturing "home away from home" for my students. Your donations for new decor and furniture have created a profound sense of belonging and emotional security, where children feel safe to learn and grow. We've witnessed a dramatic increase in student engagement and autonomy, as they now have comfortable, flexible spaces to choose how and where they learn. This investment is immeasurable, directly impacting the well-being and academic success of every child. We are deeply grateful for your support in making our vision a reality.”

My students love playing the Jenga set I had in my classroom. When I realized how much so, and found this educational set, I jumped at the chance to give them the game they loved with an educational twist. They loved this game even more because they knew they were working on their skills while playing and it made it that much more meaningful to them. My older students loved the main idea and details games. Students do enjoy learning, but when they aren't engaged, it can be a challenge. These resources made learning engaging, hands on, interactive and fun. The dice poppers were a game changer! I used to have dice all over the place and kids would throw them around. These poppers made dice based games SO much easier. We all had a blast with these resources and can't thank you enough.”

My students are loving these resources. They are so engaged when able to get up and moving out of their seats and have interactive activities to do. the place value manipulatives have been a huge hit in my classroom and have been able to allow my students to work on so many different skills. When they first saw these materials they were so excited to open them and get started to use them. They really love all the cool things that I am able to bring into the classroom for them and it makes them super excited to be in the classroom.”

My students used these snacks as reinforcements to academic and behavior achievements during the year. They love working towards snacks and really were excited to have our snack bin full this year. Students worked to earn snacks daily and some snacks were used when we played instructional games and the winning team would win something from the snack bin. This keep students engaged and was really impactful for my students. We appreciate all of the donations that helped fund this project and my students are so happy.”
Please help me become a digital learning diva for my students during this challenging time that we introduce remote learning. My students are part of my elementary and middle school self contained Autistic Support classroom. They come from low income households. I also help serve students in the general education and learning support setting alongside my colleagues. With collaboration and resources in the school setting we can support our students, but from home it will be challenging without the supplies needed. Specifically designed instruction allows me as a special education teacher to come up with creative ways to teach skills and concepts to my students that they struggle to learn.
Materials like visual aides & manipulate items are key to their learning success.
Please help purchase these items for me to use for my in-home school resource center that I will be able to share with my students digitally through photos and videos during this time.
