• Read Across America Celebration 2023

  Funded Feb 10, 2023

  I am absolutely grateful to all the donors who made this rocket happen for my students. Read Across America is a celebration we have at our school with all students. My students look forward to this every year but this year will be different. We will have books, prizes and treats during the week. Our students are going to be so excited and I can’t wait to share photos with all my donors. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart!”

• A Reading Restaurant with Elves and Books Part 2

  Funded Oct 28, 2022

  I first off want to thank you once again for helping this project come alive! My students were beyond ecstatic when they found out our project got funded!

  This project helped start our Reading Restaurant event! Our 5th grade students dressed up as elves and were so excited! They wore an elf apron and an elf headband. They loved dressing up for our little students. The elves read gingerbread books to various students throughout the day. This helped them become aware of how literacy works and how we are all different in our own way.

  After they were read to, they decorated a gingerbread man cookie with the icing and sprinkles we received from this project. They were amazed with their final products! You should have seen their faces.

  This event was a huge success and it was all in thanks to you!”

• Healthier Reading in a Clean Library With a Robot Vacuum!

  Funded Sep 7, 2022

  I want to start off by saying and giving a huge thank you to all the donors who made this project come to life. My students were absolutely thrilled when they saw our robot vacuum for the first time

  Many students do not have access to this type of cleaning technology and it is new to them. I was able to show them what it is and how it is used to benefit our classroom.

  I showed my students how I can connect this to another device and how we use a map to get cleanings done. We created rooms and named them. Students were thrilled! My older students now fight to be the one to start our robot vacuum and use it! Thank you so very much! Cleaners floors equals healthier students!”

• Sit, Imagine and Create Anywhere in the Library

  Funded Oct 7, 2022

  I want to take this time to give a heartfelt thank you for making this project happen. I see over 470 students on a weekly basis in my library and boy do our students look forward to visiting our library. They work so hard during the day and don't get the time to actually relax and read. Here in the library, I allow students to read wherever they like and I feel it is so important to offer a variety of seating for our variety of learners. I get so many students coming into the library asking for a more type of flexible seating so their wish was my command. Thank you donors!”
