Positive Behavior in School Is So Very Cool!
Funded Nov 29, 2022THANK YOU for helping this project for my entire school, Positive Behavior in School Is So Very Cool! Students get rewarded when they make "Koala-ty" choices: being safe, responsible, respectful, and showing effort. With this new FABULOUS inventory, all students at our school will work even harder to earn more goodies! Our fabulous Dean and staff work so hard to motivate and reward students when they make the right choices. Now we have an ABUNDANCE of cool and fun rewards for students to pick from, during our monthly grade level assemblies and raffles! Students can pick from the Koala pencil toppers, notebooks, pens, erasers, pull-back cars, and so much more! Plus, this project allows each classroom and every student to get some incentives too! Animal stickers and sensory strips to relieve anxiety will be shared with everyone. More importantly, the school environment will improve, and students will learn that it pays to do the right thing. Everyone wins...Hooray!
My appreciation is overflowing because of your generous heart, and your willingness to help students that you have no direct connection to. THANK YOU to DonorsChoose, the amazing 37 People, and the fabulous Anonymous donor for the match. Your commitment to education makes you our classroom heroes, and angels! :)”

Funded Nov 30, 2022Thank you so much for making this project, Fitness and Fun Fanatics, a reality! It's still hard to believe that we have received all these wonderful materials! Your generosity and thoughtfulness mean that many students will have easy access to a variety of fun equipment. We received amazing kits for obstacle courses and outdoor fun. Your generosity means that our students will equate exercise with fun. All students - from the outgoing to the quiet and shy, get engaged and are so full of smiles. This is a special bonus activity, that lucky students will look forward to use all year, and for years to come!
Your precious gifts mean so much to them, since most live in densely populated streets and apartments. Exercise and play is unfortunately, limited to the school setting. It's so awesome to know that there are so many angels and advocates for the health and well-being of today's children. The fact that you opened your hearts and wallets for students that you have no direct relation to, shows what wonderful people you are. So to DonorsChoose and the Anonymous Donor who so graciously supported this project - THANK YOU for being our heroes.”

Funded Aug 8, 2022Thank you so much for making this project, Hands-on STEM Activities Make Learning, a reality! It's still hard to believe that we have received all these wonderful materials! Due to budget cuts and limited funds, it's difficult to purchase the extras, outside of what my district already provides. But your generosity and thoughtfulness mean that my students can hold and play with magnetic building blocks to learn about attract and repel. Your generosity means that they can build in 3D with LEGO. They LOVED the Pop-Its to 100 too! These tools, and the other items, will go a long way in helping my students become more proficient in math and science. Your precious gifts mean so much to them (and to my future students who will benefit as well). It's so awesome to know that there are so many angels and advocates for education.
The fact that you - an Anonymous Donor is helping this community, and doing so much goodwill for students that you have no direct relation to, shows what a wonderful organization/person you are. THANK YOU for being our hero.”

Funded Sep 20, 2022Thank you so much for making this project, Scholastic Books For My Scholars!, a reality. This project enabled me to order copies of Charlotte's Web, Chrysanthemum, and If You Give a Mouse A Cookie, for my second graders! Plus, they get to pick a book of their choice with the coupon books. I know these books will help inspire my students to read more, and become better scholars!
My students live in a high poverty area, so little (or big) things like this, truly make a difference! Some families do not have cars, so going to the local library is a challenge too. So to get books to take home is so truly appreciated! Why - because Books are so much better than Toys! It's so awesome to know that there are so many angels and advocates for education. The fact that you opened your hearts and wallets for students that you have no direct relation to, shows what wonderful people you are. So to my wonderful community of friends and new friends, THANK YOU!”

Funded Oct 26, 2022THANK YOU so much, for your significant part in funding, The One With The Classroom Basics! I am overflowing with appreciation, in having these basics like markers, labels, pencils, stickers and sharpeners! It really is the little things that make the difference. Our whiteboards have come alive again, with the fresh replenishment of EXPO markers! When students are given a challenging test to complete, they are more motivated when they have a new pencil in their hands. The new collection of scented markers and stickers are a big hit too. As any teacher would tell you, all of these materials are so basic, but SO NEEDED! All of the items are all so appreciated!
Thank you to Panda Cares Foundation and DonorsChoose for being our heroes!”

Funded Oct 26, 2022THANK YOU so much, for your significant part in funding, The One With The Fun EXTRAS! I am overflowing with appreciation, in having these basic materials like paper, EXPO markers, and pony beads in the classroom! For certain tests and notes home, I like to use yellow paper to make them really stand out...now we are fully stocked and ready! With the beads and lanyards, my students made our own mini abacuses, with the beads and lanyards. Next, they have the heat shrink kit to look forward to - we'll be making fun holiday ornaments! All of these items are all so appreciated!
Thank you to Panda Cares Foundation and DonorsChoose for being our heroes!”

Funded Feb 9, 2022Thank you for your amazing part in funding this project, "The World Is a Rainbow!" The students enjoyed all the colorful and interactive activities, materials and books!
We always try to celebrate diversity in our classroom, and these materials were perfect! The books are so popular, fun and inviting for the students to look and read, over and over again! Working with the play-doh was definitely a memorable experience for the students!
Since I teach in a high poverty area, I can only rely on friends, family and strangers for support. This is why your help is extremely appreciated, and really makes the difference! Special THANK YOU to DonorsChoose, and the classroom angels and advocates in this world!”

Funded Aug 1, 2022THANK YOU so much, for your significant part in funding, Basic Materials to Start the Year! I am overflowing with appreciation, in having this printer toner and other basics, in our classroom! My students now have colorful visuals and images for their homework folders. They have colorful visuals of their sound cards, that help them to read. Also, my students LOVE using their "teacher green pens" to check their work! After a practice test, they put their pencils away, and mark the scores themselves! We used the craft sticks, with glue and beans to show groups of ten, to 100! They really enjoyed this activity too. All of the items: the Kleenex, Velcro, and laminating pouches are all so appreciated!
These gifts are truly appreciated by my students, and their teacher. Thank you to all my heroes, angels, and advocates of education! You truly have made a lasting impact.”

Funded Sep 20, 2022THANK YOU so much, for your valuable part in funding this project, Keep Calm and Just Clean It Up! Words really cannot describe the HUGE impact this item has with my students!
Every day, I am grateful for the cleaning materials in this project! It's so important to teach my students the importance of hygiene, especially during these times. Once a week, we do a deep clean of desktops with Clorox wipes, and they love to see how much dirt they can pick up. Also, when there is a spill of breakfast crumbs or pencil shavings...the mess can get cleaned up immediately! The best part is, they are all making efforts to keep their areas clean. This vacuum and the materials received have made a huge difference in creating responsible, independent and self-sufficient students. When there is a spill, they know to keep calm and just clean it up!
Thank you to Dial for the generous kickoff donation! On behalf of my clean students, and their appreciative teacher - THANK YOU for coming to our rescue. :)”

Funded Aug 30, 2022THANK YOU for helping this project, Hard Work Pays Off!, complete! My second graders have been working hard to earn more Koala-ty tickets, which is an incentive program that we have been using in our classroom. They are showing effort, respect, safety and responsibility. Now with this new FABULOUS inventory, my students are working even harder, to earn more tickets! They are purchasing fun toys and educational tools like erasers, toy cars, mini-books, rulers and more! Some are motivated to proudly buy things for their brothers and sisters, too! Others want to save for bigger purchases. The additional bouncy balls, Play-Doh, stickers and plushies will keep our classroom store in business for the whole year. More importantly, students are learning now, how to earn, save and be responsible with their finances! Hooray!
My appreciation is overflowing because of your generous heart, and your willingness to help students that you have no direct connection to. THANK YOU to you all who had an important part in getting this project funded, most notably "An Anonymous Funder" and DonorsChoose! Thank you for supporting classrooms across this country.”
