  • Wibble and Wobble While Getting The Job Done

    Funded Apr 6, 2023

    On behalf of my students, thank you!

    My students absolutely love using the wobble stools. I ordered them for a few particular students and let others take turns using the rest. I have students choosing to use them everyday. They think it is fun to wobble while they work, I find more focus in my class. The students didn't realize how much it was really going to help their focus, but I knew. It is amazing to see how a simple tool can help, much like a pencil or pair of scissors.

    I am so grateful to all that helped make this purchase possible. The students feel such an accomplishment getting their work completed in a timely manner.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. McDonough

  • Excited to Actively Read and Write

    Funded Apr 7, 2022

    The students are so excited every day when I say it is book box time. The storage bins keep books safe and the students love the responsibility of keeping the box safe. The storage bin also makes it easy for me to switch out books as often as needed instead of digging through their desks.

    The books that were purchased are high interest and perfect reading levels! It is difficult to get my low level readers interested because a lot of books look "babyish". I searched high and low for the appropriate books and you were a huge help.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. McDonough

  • Hybrid Learning During The Pandemic!

    Funded Jan 29, 2021

    My students were so thankful for our new supplies. They felt so privileged to be able to have their own supplies because they knew it was safe to share. They saw their families struggling for work and food and knew that buying school supplies was going to be very difficult.

    They were so careful and gentle with all supplies everyday. For me, that was the first time I had seen a group of students not take things for granted. It was the first time I didn't have students fighting over color, size or shape of the supplies like they did in the past.

    Again, I thank you for helping my children feel important while being successful.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. McDonough

  • Reading and Writing in the Classroom

    Funded Aug 8, 2018

    My class was so excited when they saw our supplies.

    Having a container full of sharpened pencils helps them get through their day knowing that they can complete their work even if they forgot to bring their own pencil to school. Having the supplies here at school allows them to save their pencils for completing Homework at home.

    The students love having a place to keep their books for Reading time every day. Students comments have been...

    " I love the color of my box!"

    " I like that I won't lose my books in my desk."

    "This way we won't take them home by accident and lose them."

    The protective sleeves have been a great resource for saving paper during math time. They can practice their skills each day without having to waste or lose papers.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. McDonough

My students are great kids that come to school on a daily basis with what materials can be supplied to them. Many of these students come from single family homes and spend their nights caring for younger siblings while trying to complete their homework. They are always in need of new educational supplies and truly appreciate anything that we can supply them with. Donations of materials, books and resources that are made to my students are put right to good use. This project will help because it will make learning fun. Approximately 30 students will have access to these materials. They will truly make a difference because they will give my students something fun and new to use in the classroom. The multi colored boxes will not only brighten up the classroom but allow each child their own personal space to keep their books during independent reading time. This will allow the students access to their books and will keep the condition of each book safe and not overcrowded in a desk. The multicolored pocket charts will also allow each student their own personal writing space while saving on paper since their work will be in the protective sleeve for multi use practice. Thank you so much for your generous donation to my students and my classroom. Donations like yours make not only an academic difference in their lives but also a personal one since it gives them something to call their own for the year.
