Reaching High for Success

Funded Dec 24, 2014

I was funded 100% on December 24!!! What a great gift for my classroom. Schools were closed for holiday until January 5th. I got the materials in school on January 12th. I was so excited to open them so I stayed after school to open each an every item that was funded by you. The next day I told the children that 3 wonderful people donated these wonderful items.

The children in the classroom were so excited to see all these resources. They asked so many questions such as: Who are these people? Where did they get the money from? Why did they do this for us?... So many questions from first graders. I told them there are people in this world who love kids so much and they enjoy helping kids have fun while learning. They couldn't wait to "play." One child said, "We are learning while playing!"

We just got these products and I put them to use right away. All I can say is, the children LOVED the games that they played so far. they got to interact with their peers, they had conversations based on the activity that they were presented with, they were learning, and most important they were having fun. We can't wait to use all the products.

Wendy, Danna Kulzer, and Melanie S, from my class and from me, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! We appreciate what you did!!!!!! You made such a difference the students. The smiles and excitement were an amazing sight!”

With gratitude,
