  • The Needs Nook

    Funded Jan 3, 2025

    Another project that the Donors Choose community has helped me fulfill. My heart is full of gratitude as this project will help me continue to provide basic hygiene items for my students. So many of my students live in poverty and families cannot afford to provide items like this for themselves.

    Every single day, all 800 students have access to lotion, hair care, feminine hygiene products, oral hygiene products, deodorant, and lip care thanks to donors like you. This helps every single student confidently move through the day with the ability to focus on school. As I continue to grow my Needs Nook, I hope that you continue to consider supporting it's growth and my students.

    From the very bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me make school a more accessible place for all of my kids.”

  • Early Finishers for Creative Kids!

    Funded Aug 15, 2024

    Only a month into the school year and already this project has changed how we do things in the Library. It has enabled so many students to et additional skills practice for writing and problem solving while also building skills of independence and team work.

    Having puzzles, origami, and craft supplies for the kids to be able to utilize after they finish their work in the Library early has made it so much easier for them to regulate their own behaviors as well. This makes managing a classroom of 35 students loads easier.

    As always, thank you for your continued support of our Library and the students I serve. You are making a difference.”

  • Turning Our Kids Into Published Authors!

    Funded May 7, 2024

    You are life changers. Thanks to you, I am able to build a writing unit that allows students to become authors and illustrators of their own stories. This is going to help us raise literacy rates and student confidence in the classroom.

    This project is so special because it is going to begin to inspire kids to use their imaginations to travel the world. I am so excited to continue to share their development of writing skills, illustration skills, and their abilities to create incredible stories within their minds.

    Thank you for being such a huge supporter of me, my students, and the community I serve. You make all the difference. I cannot wait to share future projects with you.”

  • Hygiene Drawer Essentials for All, Part 2!

    Funded May 7, 2024

    As always, thank you for your continued support. This project means so much to me because having your basic needs met is a necessity to function in the day-to-day world. These supplies allow my students to feel confident, clean, and ready to face the day.

    Students are able to utilize my hygiene drawers whenever they need throughout the day. Whether they need deodorant, lotion, or to brush their teeth...your donations have helped fulfill the needs for basic supplies for living for my students.

    Thank you for helping me provide these items for my students. Thanks to you, I am able to follow Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and help my students succeed in their every day lives in school and at home.”

  • Liven Up the Library, Part 3!

    Funded Nov 1, 2023

    This project is one that I was so excited to have funded. It brought flexible seating and organization into our Library for the students to use every day. Every class has been so excited to see the new things we have and are even more excited to know that we have more coming.

    The flexible seating has allowed SO MANY students to move around the room to read in a space that is comfortable for them. It's so great to see them get excited about reading because they are comfy.

    As we continue to "Liven Up the Library", I look forward to showing you all of the new and exciting things we add!

    Thank you for your continued support.”

  • Hygiene Drawer Essentials for All!

    Funded Oct 3, 2023

    Another project and my heart continues to be full of gratitude. You are incredible.

    This project is very special to me and the community I serve as so many of our families face poverty. This means so many are unable to purchase basic hygiene supplies. This hygiene drawer has allowed my students to feel confident throughout the day knowing that they have hygiene supplies they need to freshen up.

    I have placed the drawers in a discreet location so students do not feel self-conscious grabbing anything they need. It's been such a huge success and I am so grateful to you for helping making this possible.”

  • So Fresh and So Clean, Clean pt. 2

    Funded Sep 11, 2023

    My heart is as full as ever. Thanks to you, we have yet again gotten another project funded. This time, we brought supplies into the Library that will allow us to keep the room sanitized and clean for all.

    As we see all of the students in the Library, germs are very present. This project brought copious amounts of hand sanitizer, Clorox wipes, and surface protection to make things much easier when cleaning. The students are excited to help us clean the Library daily and often make it a competition to see who can get the dirtiest wipe!

    From the very bottom of my heart, thank you for donating to our Library and thank you for supporting low-income schools. With your help, we are always able to provide materials to students both in and out of the classroom to set them up for success!”

  • Library Labeling LaLaPalooza!

    Funded Jul 18, 2023

    Another project funded means my heart has grown even larger. Thanks to you, I've been able to obtain a label maker for our school library. This will allow my aid and myself to label books quickly and efficiently so that we can get our new materials out to students and teachers within a week of receiving them! This has been something we've wanted for a long time.

    I cannot begin to explain the impact even small donations have on a community like ours. You allow us to provide for students that don't have much and that impact will be felt for years to come. Thank you for supporting our Wynn ES Library. It is a special place.”

  • Liven Up the Library!

    Funded Nov 29, 2022

    This project was my first as a school librarian and it means the world to me that you helped fund it. For years, our library was left colorless and boring. As I begin my new adventure in as an Elementary Librarian, I am making it my goal to turn this library into a place where students feel safe and welcome. This project has allowed me to begin working toward that goal.

    Not only did you help provide supplies, but you helped me provide decorations and colorful signs to hang all around the library to inspire students for years to come. I cannot wait for students to come in after Winter Break to see the beginning steps to a new library.

    As always, thank you for supporting our community.”

I am a first year fourth grade grade teacher at a Title 1 Elementary School in Las Vegas, Nevada. This means 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch daily. In my classroom, many of my students are below grade level in all subject areas and face obstacles daily because of it. The projects I create will help them in every aspect of their learning.
