Thank you very much for the gloves for our garden! Our students are very excited to be able to have the opportunity to grow their own vegetables and flowers! These gloves will allow students to garden safely! They are the perfect size for their tiny hands! They went out to the garden the first week of school to pull out all the weeds that grew over the summer. They were so excited to use their new gloves. Since they are great quality we will be able to use them for many years to come! Thank you again for your continued support to my classroom!”

WOW!!! I am so impressed at the generosity of my donors! My students and I can not even begin to put into words the impact that you have in our classroom. We could not wait to start organizing the classroom!
When the packages arrived they were in a huge box and the student's faces were priceless! They could not wait to see what was inside! When we opened the boxes they got right to work organizing all our science and classroom materials!
Now that we are organized we are ready for summer and we are very prepared for the next year to come! Thank you so much again for your generous donation!”

I can not express how grateful I am for this project! I am a teacher and we do not have a curriculum. Trying to reinvent the wheel is often time consuming and unnecessary. There are many resources out there and you gave me the access to a world of resources.
My students and myself have benefited greatly from this project. We are able to experiment and complete hands-on activities. These lessons were all found on teacherpayteachers.com. Without this project we would have never had access to these lessons.
Thank you so much for these knitting donations! My students are so excited to start a knitting after school club. Most of them have never heard of knitting but they are very excited to learn! The teachers who know how to knit are also ecstatic to teach younger ones how to create scarves, blankets, hats, and so much more! This is a lifelong skill that they will be able to take with them and create warm items, forever. Without this donation we would have never been able to start this club and teach students knitting!
Thank you again for your continued support to my classroom!”

I can not put into words how much I appreciate the donations to my classroom. My students were so excited to receive this package in the mail! They could not wait to open the box! When they opened the box, they were confused with why we were receiving these items. When I explained all the cool and creative experientments we will complete now that we have these materials, they could not stop smiling! Their willingness and eagerness to learn is something I hope they never lose! Thanks to these donations, they were excited to learn!
Thank you again for your continued support to my classroom!”

Thank you very much for supporting my classroom. My students were very excited to receive a package in the mail! Once they opened the package they were happy to found out that we got two new flutes! This donation of flutes will help my students learn music. My students are excited about playing the flute and learning.
Learning music is dear to my heart and I am excited to share this passion with my students. They deserve nothing but the best and because of you, they now can have the best!
Thank you again for your continued support to my classroom.”

My students were very excited to get their Zenergy Ball Chair in the mail today! My students love flexible seating options in the classroom and this ball chair fits right into our collection. Now my students will be able to stay focused throughout the day while keeping their body moving! My students deserve nothing but the best and that is made possible because of donors like you! They will now be excited to learn reading, writing, and math!
Thank you so much for your donation to my classroom! My students and I greatly appreciate your continued support.”

Thank you so much for donating the latest Hero 6 Black go-pro to our classroom! My students were jumping up and down with excitement when this came in the mail yesterday! We are so excited to take pictures and videos of our classroom. Now I am able to record lessons for students who are absent so they never have to miss anything when they are sick! My students will also have fun with this camera in our after school swimming club since it is waterproof!
Thank you again for your continued support to Camden, NJ and my classroom!”

My students were so excited to get a package in the mail! When they saw what was inside they were so ecstatic. Before this project we had no way to hang up our work on our concrete walls. Now because of you we are able to hang our work proudly. My students work hard on their work and they like to show off their incredible work, and now they can! During our parent teacher conferences, the parents were happy to see all the work the students had accomplished over this past marking period.
Thank you again for your continued support to my classroom. My students and I greatly appreciate your support!”

My students come from a city that has been considered one of the most dangerous cities in America. Despite that, they are creating their own path to a successful future. It amazes me to see how fully engaged they are to learn each and everyday. I feel privileged to teach such a great group of kids.
