Thank you so much for your generous donations to my cleaning supplies projects. My students are loving the lavender hand soap and asks the clean the room with our Method lavender soap every day. They take pride in keeping our room clean. I receive many compliments on how clean our room is and how refreshing it smells by both students and adults. The best part is all of our products are safe for the environment. So far this year we have had fewer absences in our class, and I know it's because we are keeping up with keeping the germs out. Thank you again for your donations, my students and I are greatly appreciative.”

Thank you all so much for your generous continued support to my classroom projects. Words truly can not express how thankful I am. I was not able to complete the whole unit with my last group of students, but will continue the activities with my new class this year. Even though we were not able to complete all the activities, my students loved the activities they were able to do. I saw collaborative teamwork, and unbelievable thought processes happening while the students were planning and experimenting. I saw the biggest smiles when the students succeeded in building towers with index cards. It was truly an amazing experience to watch my students love learning. Thank you again for helping me give them the opportunity to experience these lessons.”

Words can't even describe how this project has made such a difference in my class. My students no longer have to wait for pens, books, or their folders because now they can just turn around and get their materials from their seat sack. I wish you could all personally see how this has greatly impacted the distractions and wait time in my class. My students and I are extremely grateful that you have made our classroom so much more functionable. I truly than you for your continued support and helping teachers give their students supplies to help them reach their full potential. Thank you again!”
Thank you so much for your generous donations to my Money Books project. My students are loving these new books that are teaching them all about money. We are starting to earn "money" to buy prizes, to learn responsibility and how to count money. This was a great addition to my library, that already has had great use. They are learning how to handle money, and learning how to save and become responsible all through fun games, and reading stories that teach us why we need to save. Thank you again, it is because of donors like you that make it possible for teachers to help their students reach their full potential.”

Thank you so much for your generous donations to my basic school supplies project. Now ALL my students have folders and notebooks for every subject. They are more organized and we spend more time learning rather than looking for our papers in one stack. My students are now excited and take pride in their work, knowing that it is theirs to keep, not just looseleaf papers floating around. It is because of donors like you that make it possible for our students to reach their full potential. Thank you again for your generous donations to my students!”
Thank you for your generous donations to my the power is in the pen project. I am so excited to start using both math and ELA kits in my class during centers.

Once again my sincerest thanks to your generosity.”

Thank you for your generous donations to my take a deep breath project. I can't wait to see the excitement on my students faces when they see that each table will have air plants as center pieces. Not only will they learn the importance of why we need plants, but they will also learn how to take care of plants and share the responsibility of watering them. We will use our science journals to take notes on and document science projects, and use them to help prepare us for state science tests. My sincerest thanks for your generosity.”
Thank you so much for your generous donations to my keep calm and tech on project. I can't wait for my students to be able to start using the new tablets in my classroom.

It is because of donors like you that make teachers help students reach their full potential. Once again my sincerest thanks for you support.”

Thank you so much for your generous donations to my class project. I am extremely grateful for your generosity. My students will no longer have to ask every morning for a pencil. They will no longer have papers filling their desks because now they will have notebooks to help them organize their work. I know they will be excited that they now have their own supplies for school. It has been a rough start for my class, but the rest of the year just became easier because of your generosity. It is because of donors like you that make it possible for teachers to go above and beyond for their students.”

Thank you so much for your generous donations to my projects Mmm, mmm Good! My students were so excited when they saw the boxes of snack being delivered. For students whom snacks are a luxury, not a necessity this really meant a lot to them. They are able to now have a morning snack after breakfast, before lunch making it easier for them to focus on lessons being taught, and not on being hungry counting down the minutes to lunch. My sincerest gratitude for your generosity it greatly appreciated by both my students and myself.”

I am currently a forth grade teacher at the Locke School. Many of my students come from low income homes, barely being able to afford basic school supplies. Some don't have any at all. Despite my students lack of basic needs, they still come to school with a smile on their face every day. School is their second home, which they look forward to attending everyday. Many of my students even ask if they can come to school on the weekends.
