  • Game On In The Library!

    Funded Mar 26, 2025

    I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for your incredibly generous donation to my game project, Game On in the Library! Your support means the world to me and will be instrumental in bringing this vision to life.

    As you can see by the pictures I downloaded the students were so happy to open the boxes and play all the Old School board games like Scrabbler, Jenga, Trouble, Connect Four and Marble Run. They spent their Lunch Period playing games and not playing on their phones. Board games promote socialiaztion and much needed peer interactions.

    Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for your belief in this project and your generous contribution. Your support is making a real difference!”

  • Spinning And Rolling In The Library!

    Funded Mar 27, 2018

    Thank you very much to all our donors who contributed to our Donors Choose project. The students we so excited when the rolling cart arrived in the library. We immediately unpacked the box and to our surprise the metal cart was smashed!!! We immediately called the company that supplied it and the sent over another cart. The students love using the cart to return books to shelves. They also use the cart to gather returned books from other classrooms in the school. The spinning shelf was also received with enthusiasm. Library monitors showcase books for the younger students to see the covers of the books so they can read them with ease. Younger students have difficulty choosing books when only their spines are showing.

    Thanks again for funding our project!!!!”

  • Reading and Relaxing!

    Funded Feb 18, 2018

    As you can see from the photos, the students are so happy to have so many comfortable seating options in the library! The pillows, stuffed animals, and comfortable chairs make for a very relaxing environment! When the resources started to arrive, the children's faces lit up with joy! Especially when they saw the Emoji pillows! I am glad they are enthusiastic to come to our school library and cuddle up with a good book!

    It was really touching when one of the students made a personal connection to the Golden Retriever stuffed dog! She said having the dog next to her during our lesson made her feel like she was at home!”

  • Keyboard Covers Make Healthy Students

    Funded Nov 20, 2015

    I just want to tell you how appreciative I am of your very generous donations to my Donors Choose Project! It's so awesome to think how excited the kids will be when they see all the cool colored keyboard covers we will be getting for our laptop computers!

    The best part about this is that this donation is not just a gift to my students this year, but it will be a gift that will be enjoyed by so many students in the years to come. Computer cleanliness is something that I really stress to my students. It is so easy to spread germs from one another just by sharing computers.

    Thank you again for your most generous and kind donations and helping to keep our students healthy while they enjoy learning on laptop computers.”

  • Pillows For Children Project

    Funded Dec 9, 2013

    My students and I want to thank you all for your most generous donations to our "Pillows For Children" project. We want to especially thank all those families from our school community who also donated to this wonderful and giving project.

    Words cannot describe the joy and happiness on the faces of all the children who both gave and received the beautiful hand made pillows. It was a most joyous and memorable experience. Many of the students who received the pillows were non verbal. They were amazed when they saw pillows with pictures of themselves on them.

    Thank you again for your generosity!”
