• Sewing Storage

  Funded Sep 12, 2022

  Thank you for helping me get storage for all of our donated fabric and supplies. The shelving unit has really helped us organize our supplies. By having a set location to put all our supplies it is easier for the students to see what is available and makes putting away supplies much easier. This has helped keep our work surfaces clear of clutter and ensure my students are able to be creative and pick supplies that match their personalities. The students have been able to creat many different projects. Some of which are the Santa hats and scrunchies shown in the pictures. We are using the sale of those items to restock our fabric.”

• Personalized Projects

  Funded Nov 26, 2021

  Thank you so much for your contribution. We were very happy to have such great supplies to work with in sewing class. I had a record number of students sign-up for my class. Having all the supplies and equipment to keep everyone busy and active has really made a difference.

  My students are actively creating personalized projects. In the pictures, they are making hot pads to give as gifts to family members and teachers. We are starting to use the Cricut to make personalized pillows and baskets that the students have sewn. We used the Cricut to make Valentine's cards for the local nursing home. We cut out templates on the Cricut for our burlap embroidery projects.

  The students want to send a great big thank you for the materials you helped purchase. They are really enjoying using their creativity to make projects that reflect their personalities and interests. The students are learning new technology along with using their creativity to make unique pieces of hand made projects.”

• Let's Get Moving

  Funded May 18, 2021

  Thank you for helping me get sports equipment for my class. My students and I appreciate your generosity. We have held several kick ball matches against other classes thanks to you. The students are very excited to get to play with equipment that is in good working order. We will get a lot of use out of all the equipment that your donation provided us. Fitness Friday can now be more than just races or standing around. I have even found ways to incorporate the sports equipment into my math classes. We are very grateful for your contributions to our class.”

• Math Inspired Reading

  Funded Oct 1, 2020

  Thank you for your generosity. It is really appreciated. This school year has been very difficult with going back in forth between traditional in-school learning and virtual learning. The students enjoyed the change of reading a book in middle school math class. They were able to connect the topics better while getting some background information on the topics. Many of my students ask when am I going to need these or who came up with this. Thanks to these books I am able to answer some of these questions.”

• Notable Math

  Funded Oct 23, 2020

  Thank you for you contribution. Your generosity has helped many students in this difficult time. I was able to provide school supplies to those in need and create more meaningful notes. The students really enjoy using the multi-color pens in their note taking. The highlighter tape has helped students with tracking on multiplication charts and within their math textbooks. The geometry interactive notes has really helped with learning the area, surface area, perimeter, and volume of many different shapes. I was able to use the supplies across 6th, 7th, and 8th grade classrooms. Your kindness has impacted many students.”

• Embroidery Driven by Creativity

  Funded Jul 22, 2020

  Thank your for the embroidery machines. We have really enjoyed making personalized projects. We have made personalized thank you gifts for some individuals who have made our sewing class a possibility. Individual students have created personalized sewing projects. We are really enjoying the creative aspects of the machine. We are excited to return to a 'normal' school year so that we can complete even more projects. I have many great ideas that I am anxiously waiting to start with my students. Thanks to you, once we return to the classroom we can be creative and have learning!”

• Sew Much Fun

  Funded May 29, 2020

  Thank you for your wonderful donation. The organizers really helped me organize all of the sewing supplies so that my students can access them easier. It has helped me store the necessary tools to fix masks in an easy convenient location. The string art project will be a nice break from the usual monotony of pencil and paper projects. I look forward to introducing hand sewing into my math class, as we learn about the coordinate grid. We have used some of the thread to create storage bins to help organize other supplies. Your thoughtfulness is a welcome surprise in my classroom. My students really enjoy sewing and the creativity that it brings. Thank You!”

• Sewing Skills for Life

  Funded May 5, 2020

  It is very generous of you to give to my students. The students used your donations to create microwavable bowl cozies and oven mitts. We made fortune cookies to give as Valentine's cards. We made scrunchies to trade with friends. We had a lot of fun creating together. Students who had never sewn before were able to show off their own creations to their friends and family. The gentleman in my class were very reluctant to sew at first ended up having the neatest sewing and completed the most projects. I really enjoy sharing my love of sewing with my students and you helped me. Thank you for your generosity. It is a blessing to know that there are people willing to give so that my students can experience something new.”

• Sewing for Others 2

  Funded Oct 22, 2019

  Thank You for your generosity in contributing to my sewing for other's project. My students are using the supplies you helped purchase by learning to sew while creating Christmas Ornaments. Over the past month they have learned basic sewing machine use. They can thread the machines, sew a straight line, along with machine safety and maintenance. The students are so excited to use the sewing abilities they are learning on the ornaments to create projects to help others. We will have all the necessary skills to sew the wheelchair bags and begin creating them before Christmas break. I know that my students will enjoy crafting a useful tool for someone else in need and you helped make it possible.”
