• Lead and Achieve

  Funded Feb 23, 2024

  Thank you so much for the amazing donations. We were able to purchase fidgets and prizes for my scholars. I rewarded them for making excellent decisions, being great peers, and for their academic achievements and improvements that they displayed throughout the year. My scholars were beaming with pride at their accomplishments and really loved all of the amazing prizes they could pick from. I enjoyed showing the items to them and making up goals with my scholars. They really loved showing them to their parents, little brother and sisters, and the other scholars in the grade level. I would not have been able to do this without your generosity. Thank you and have a great day.”

• Lead to Succeed

  Funded Jul 17, 2022

  Thank you so much for taking the time to read about and to contribute to our classroom project. I know that times are tough and I appreciate each of you for allowing me to get the materials and supplies that I needed to help my scholars. We have used the lights in my calm area. The calm area is a place that the scholars can go to relax and take a breather and a few minutes to decompress.

  I used the Marvel lights to decorate my calm corner which also hosts a ton of mathematical and science games that allows them to review the skills they have learned or to simply relax and have some fun. The games that were purchased range from third grade level up to sixth grade level so it allows me to differentiate the center activity for all of my groups.

  This would have been something that would have taken me months to afford and would have taken away from the classroom supplies that I purchased for the scholars such as dry erase markers, paper and pencils to name a few. I cannot thank you enough for your generosity. It is appreciated and will be in my classroom for years which enables me to help future scholars.”

• Math Wiz

  Funded Jul 29, 2021

  Thank you so much for the wonderful math resources. My student and I have had so much fun playing with the materials. Before Break we used he hot dot cards and students were able to review their skills.

  When we first saw the materials we started jumping with excitement. I had previously told the students that our project had been funded. I also showed them all of the amazing things that we had ordered and had been funded. The students were constantly asking when the materials would arrive. Finally the day arrived and I was sent a message that the materials had been delivered. We waited anxiously each day for the order to be brought up to our rooms. When we saw the boxes we were so excited we quickly started opening them to see the materials inside. The students and myself were so pleased and thankful for them.

  The next steps that we are doing as a class are starting to delve into the science. Those kits we will begin using with our science curriculum. Thank you for everything.”

• Distance Learning Ninjas

  Funded Apr 24, 2020

  The scholars are able to use the amazing materials to make their mathematical, science, and health education meaningful and impactful. These materials allow us to take abstract concepts and make them into tangible hands on educational concepts. The scholars are able to learn from each other by taking these materials into centers and delving deeper with the application.

  The scholars and myself were extremely excited. As soon as we came in and saw the boxes we knew we were in for a special treat. We all ran to the back table and were so happy at the amazing resources we saw. The kids immediately wanted to open and start playing with the items. However, I reminded them that I would need time before I could give the material out to them.

  Currently we have about 90% of our scholars whom are still completing their educational studies via online. My next project is a machine to help bring their designs to reality. The scholars will design a shirt for a peer and I hope to be able to take their designs and bring them to life for their clasmates.”

• Distance Learning

  Funded Sep 18, 2020

  Thank you so much for the amazing materials. My students are able to gather a in depth understanding of the material. They are able to use these materials to increase their understanding of science and mathematical concepts. The games and hands on materials allow the scholars to take abstract concepts and understand their relationship to daily life. The science and math material are fun and engaging. I am so thankful to each individual who took their time and hard earned funds to help foster my dream.”

• Distance Learning

  Funded May 5, 2020

  These materials were such an amazing gift for my scholars. They will be able to fully engage in distance education. These materials provide concrete representation for my students as they try to delve into a abstract and isolated curriculum. The scholars are able to use the technology in the event they have had issues or shutdowns on their computers.

  This enables them to stay up to date on assignments. They are able to use a hotspot to follow the daily lessons and to find research materials. Tutoring is also able to be given as the students may need. The technology allows them to stay at home for and to access their educational material without any trouble.

  The technology enables me to give them colorful, musical, and creative lessons with no delay. We are able to use programs such as Flocabulary and Quizziz which enables me to attain and maintain their attention. I'm sure as you are reading this letter your contribution means more to me than you may ever know. Thank you for taking the time to take a interest in Public Education. You have mad a difference.”

• Science, Mathematics, and Beyond

  Funded Aug 7, 2020

  These materials enabled my students to get a in depth understanding of the curriculum that is being taught virtually. The students have been able to use these resources which has allowed them to have no down time due to technology issues. The scholars are able to enjoy programs such as Flocabulary and prodigy which brings the curriculum to life for them through fun and engaging academic games.

  When my students first saw the materials they were extremely eager to use them. They liked the fact that the materials could be shared with their classmates. Doing virtual they feel that they have a sense of community. Many of my students would be unable to attend school if something were to happen to their device.

  The next steps for my class is to continue to work on maintaining a sense of community. The scholars are isolated and so it is extremely important for me to find fun creative methods that will allow them to stay engaged. I also like the ability I have to create four breakout rooms which allows the scholars to learn in small groups which decreases the confusion. Thank you so much for your generosity. These materials will be used throughout the school year.”
