Color Me Beautiful!
Funded Dec 16, 2024Thank you so very much for your generous donation! We can't say how thankful we are! The children are using the colors and journals everyday! They are expressing themselves a lot more than they used to. They are enjoying their private time very much.
The children are asking so many questions on how to do this? And how to do that? They are so curious to get their imaginations working on paper. They really want to express their dreams and future wishes. They are enjoying it so much, I am so proud of them and thanks to your generosity we get to see it.”

Help Me Write!
Funded May 21, 2024Thank you so very much for the journals and the opportunity for the students to share and explore their own personal writings. They are enjoying them so very much and continue to care for them in the classroom. They are asking for them every minute.
I originally gave them out to the students who wanted them, then the other students wanted them. I did this to create excitement for writing. They can write whatever they want, whenever they want, about whatever they want. I only ask that they be kept in the classroom for awhile. Each class kept them in their specific spot and ask for them when they desire to write. Now it is Christmas time and I decided they should take them home with them. Double excitement! They were ecstatic! I see them bringing them back and forth to class. They are really taking great care of them.
Thank you so much for your generous donation, it has really gone far in this case.”

Funded Jan 26, 2023These headphones really helped our second graders. They could concentrate better on their online testing which showed when their scores went up! We were so excited to see the learning being made! The children loved the colors and we kept them in the slotted hanger we asked for, everything worked out terrifically! Thank you so much for your generous gift!
The children took great care in wrapping up the cords and putting them away carefully, they really enjoyed their own special spot in the hanger and everything. Again, thank you so very much!”

Funded May 20, 2020Thank you so much for your generosity! Without your donations, my children would have never known the joy of writing! They were so happy to have the journals! They take good care of them and carry them around to lunch and recess like a trusted friend. They always ask if they can take them out after they are finished their work.
When they share with me, I am so proud of the work they put in them, they are so proud of what they have done and it shows! Thank you so much! I hope you realize how wonderful you've made my students feel, and me too! Thank you again!”

Funded Dec 16, 2020The laptops are so helpful in the classroom. Now that my children have been online for almost a year, they are way more familiar on how to use them. Now, it just gives us the time to perfect their usage! Now I can say, "Share your screen, split your screen, sign in" without it taking hours to get the simplest of things done.
You don't really realize how much these laptops have helped us. When the district decided to go virtual, all the laptops that were in our classroom where given out to be used at home. We haven't even figured out how many have been lost, broken or damaged yet. But now we will have at least a group of students to "get back to normal" and continue our learning stations, with so many improvements! I am going to put them to work! Hopefully, I can get a printer too, to really make things real.
We plan on purchasing cool, new programs to help reading, writing AND math! Even Science and Social Studies will get a turn! These laptops have opened a whole new world to us, thank you very much!”

Help! Help Us Regain Our Classroom Materials and Remain Connected!
Funded Nov 24, 2020Thank you so very much for your generous donations! These laptops will keep the children right on track with their online learning! Me and the children will be forever grateful for your involvement and willingness to help us. Thank you so very much.
The children love the laptops and will be opening up to them next week. I am sure they will appreciate them. My students will forever remember someone out in this world wants to see them succeed. They will be so excited to continue what we have started.
Again, thank you so very much!”

Help Me Learn to Write!
Funded Dec 3, 2019We are using our new journals and personal dictionaries every day! I love seeing them use the books to look up words they want to spell. It's precious, you would love to see it to I am sure. They get an assignment to write and automatically they take out those helpful books. They even know how to find the word they need!
The students love to write in their journals every morning while I am taking attendance. When we have calm down time after lunch, they always ask, "Can I write in my journal?" Of course you can! I tell them. They really have learned to love to write on their own, beautiful to see it all in action. Thank you again so very much.
Our next steps might be to publish our own book, written and illustrated by my students themselves! Thank you so much!”

Funded Oct 6, 2019Thank you so much for the items in our Relaxation Station! We have come up with an awesome way to implement their usage in our classroom to minimize out of control emotions. We are now learning how to control our emotions better!
My students loved the items! We tried out each one before we decided how they should be used correctly, to make them last a very long time!
We have already posted a new project for writing journals, another way to feel peaceful in our studies. I am looking out for new and innovative ways I can help my students become the best they can be.”

Funded Feb 17, 2018Thank you very much for the laptops! Some of our children don't even have technology at home and these laptops allow them to be exposed to some for their future. The laptops have allowed them to explore Google and research many things that they have wondered about for a long time. Just yesterday and today we have researched walruses, Mount Everest, cuttlefish, Jane Goodall, Obama and many more things. It is so exciting!
The higher readers are my researchers, my lower readers got to go on a reading website and practice their reading! Now we will take it to the next level and practice writing! Thank you so very much,
Love,
Mrs. L and her grateful students”

Help Me Write Right!
Funded Aug 15, 2017Thank you so very much for your donations! The children have a renewed inspiration for writing! The journals have helped them put their thoughts on paper, as well as illustrate their writings. We have a renewed desire to spell correctly when writing, they want to write right now!
Writing is so much better now. The students ask to take out their books and journals you have provided and they cheer when it is writer's choice time. These supplies have made such a difference, and we really appreciate it.”
