Help me give my students a well-organized and collaborative learning environment by funding new classroom organization systems. With updated furniture, these systems will help create a space that fosters creativity, focus, and teamwork.
Your generous donation is greatly appreciated. The students will be thrilled when we open the boxes and they see brand new books for them to read. These books will be such a great opportunity for the students to learn more about the world they live in and things they can do to bring about change.”

Your donation is truly appreciated. Students and families will be very thankful that they are receiving these basic self-care items before summer break. Summer can be an uncertain time for many students, so having their own hygiene products will mean the world to them. Toothbrushes, toothpaste, and other products will be sent home with every student in the school, thanks to your generous donation.”

Your donation is extremely appreciated. I cannot wait to send the students home with these essential items. Unfortunately some of the students we service are lacking in these supplies and the items are much needed for the students and their families. Before summer break, all the students will receive a bag with hygiene items. You really are making a difference these students' lives.”
When I realized that my classroom was lacking in books that are specific to some students' reading levels, I was shocked. Your donations have given my class the necessary supplies to aid in their reading development and get the students onto the next reading level. Every child deserves proper reading instruction, and learning is the best gift you can give someone. We only have one month of school, but that doesn't mean I am going to give up on pushing my students to be their best. In this last month, we are all going to work hard in my classroom so students can continue to grow and achieve. My hope is that the students will remember your generosity and the wonderful books we received because of it!”
Boy has my classroom instruction changed since the arrival of the art easel! Anchor charts now have a place to be displayed, as opposed to us constantly moving posters around the classroom. My anchor charts can be interactive now, allowing the boys to get much needed movement into lessons. Additionally, it is now so much easier for my co-teacher and I to pull small groups and work with students who need more support. One of us teaches the the large group in the front of the classroom, and the other works with a smaller group for more targeted instruction in the back of the room using the easel. There is one month left of school, but we are continuing to teach the students and hold them to high expectations!”

Being in an urban school, we are almost always in need of supplies. Your generous donation has provided us with educational games and hands-on manipulatives that have promoted a positive learning environment within my classroom. Classroom charts, such as the 120 chart, have been helpful because in first grade students are expected to know and use numbers up to 120. The previous chart we had only went up to 100, so the new 120 chart provides an important visual that helps the students in math. Games like "Would you Rather" provide the whole class with quick brain breaks, where they can interact and share their ideas and opinions with one another, helping to build social skills.”
The artists in my classroom were thrilled to see all the colorful paper we received. They immediately began thinking about different things they could do and create with the paper. I heard ideas such as cutting out bat shapes and hanging them from the ceiling, making pop-out cards for families, and designing superheros! The writing paper was very exciting for me, mostly so that I could get my students more invested in their own writing abilities. Being in an urban school, supplies such as the ones your donations provided are very much lacking. Your donations will help my students to find the joy in school!”
You have no idea how helpful these fidget toys have been. The boys in my class always have so much positive energy, and using the tangles and squishy balls are beneficial in that they boys can now relieve some of their energy in a non-disruptive way. I have seen an immense difference in my classroom, all because of your donations. The boys are learning how to recognize when they need to relieve energy and use these materials accordingly. The squishy balls are often used as stress balls and the boys love the different colors and the texture! Thank you so much for your donation.”
Your donation means so much to my students! Many of the boys in my class come from low income areas, and some are living in shelters or other forms of temporary housing. They already have so much on their plates, but by providing them with hats, gloves, and scarves, they now have one less thing to worry about. This has also been a huge relief to parents, who may be facing financial troubles and can not provide these items to their children. The boys who received these donations were so excited to have these items, and couldn't believe how comfortable and soft the hats and gloves were! Thank you again for donating to this important project.”

How can we ensure that students are having fun while learning in a safe and exciting environment? Introducing the boys to creating seating options may be the answer! Yoga balls, inflatable cushions, and fidget toys will help students to get the sensory stimulation many of them require. This type of movement will not take away the learning of any students, but instead will encourage students to remain focused on instruction.
By introducing these exciting seating arrangements, students will be encouraged to maximize their learning while getting the necessary movement benefits as well. Just sitting on a chair or on the rug is not beneficial to this group of energized learners.
