  • Basic Materials Needed for Success!

    Funded Jan 24, 2022

    I can't thank you enough for your support within the classroom. Our students are thriving from the materials sent, and are so excited. Their eyes lit up when they saw the emoji erasers, and they were all so excited to choose the one that most represented them! The paper supplied has been a tremendous help, and now we can print the resources we need to complete our lessons with supplemental activities that only further engage them. These materials, although simple, make a huge impact on the community, and we can't thank you enough!”

  • Basic Materials Needed to Help Students Be Successful!

    Funded Jan 18, 2020

    My co-teacher and I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for assisting us in getting the necessary materials for our students. These basic materials of pencils, whiteboards, erasers, and markers may seem like such a small item, but genuinely get our students excited to learn. When the materials arrived, the students were so excited to unbox the materials and begin using them! This allows them to use a different approach than the traditional paper and pencil.

    With the pandemic occurring, we were able to ensure all of our students in this high needs area had the proper materials to be successful, and did not lose any opportunity to learn to the best of his or her ability. Again, thank you so much for contributing to our students' success. It means more to us and them then you will ever know.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Acquavita

  • Math Games and Activities for Success

    Funded Nov 3, 2019

    Thank you so much for your generosity in helping my classroom obtain math materials to help the students learn to the best of their abilities! Our students were SO excited as soon as the boxes with materials came in. We spent time unpacking the boxes and looking at each item individually. The students kept asking when we could start using the new games!

    These materials have not only helped our students to increase their math fluency in both division and multiplication, but students exam scores have risen. Without these materials, this would not have been possible. The students do not even realize they are working on math concepts and instead think they are playing a game with peers. This is huge for students with special needs, as they easily become frustrated with concepts they have not mastered yet.

    Thank you again for your help and support. It means the world to us!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Acquavita
