• READING RELIEF!

  Funded Sep 20, 2022

  Thank you so very much for putting student's needs first! They will truly benefit from your generosity. Reading is a necessary tool in life and your donation will see that my students have it. I know that they would thank you themselves if they could but since they can't, consider that this is from them - Thank you!”

  With gratitude,

• Independent Reading Time

  Funded Aug 23, 2021

  My students and I wish to thank you for your generous donation to our reading station. Because of you, we will be able to start our year off with the tool needed to strengthen our ability to do the one thing we all need to do, independently read.

  Thank you again!”

• Mobile and Motivated

  Funded Apr 1, 2020

  I know we're all tired of hearing it but we all know that this has been an incredibly challenging year. Education has been at the forefront like no other time in my recollection and teachers have been both praised and admonished.

  I am writing to you today to thank you for being in our side. For realizing that the majority of us are doing our best, working extra hours, learning new ways to reach our students and completely redeveloping our methods to do so.

  Thank you for helping me to decrease student distractions and to keep their devices charged at the same time.

  I am truly blessed that Donors Chose exists and that donors like you exist as we'll.”

• Sharpened Pencils Are Like Unicorns

  Funded Feb 3, 2020

  It is the simplest of tools and yet without it class literally grinds to a halt. Every student has a cell phone but they all too often forget to bring a pencil to class. I have tried so many different approaches to getting my students to bring a pencil but I have found that, at the end of the day, it's just easier to give them a pencil. Done. I've thrown in the towel.

  So thank you. Thank you for helping me to not only help the learning to keep going but to help me stay sane and not in the poor house.”

• Calming Calamity Can Compel Creativity!!

  Funded Apr 3, 2017

  First of all let me thank you once again for helping my students with your generous donation. I want to let you know how things have been going since I received all of my supplies.

  One of the biggest impacts was with all of the anxiety and hyperactivity aides that I received. A majority of my students have issues that compel them to behave restlessly or aggressively in the classroom. Making all of my new toys available during class has greatly improved the classroom environment and therefore increased the learning that is going on each day. Fidget spinners have gotten a bad name of late because they have become a trend for every kid to play with. My students, however, truly need and respond so positively to these gadgets that I couldn't imagine my classroom without them.

  The other items that you helped to supply, the 2 Worksheet books, markers and colored paper has proved to be invaluable in supplementing my lessons with practical and interesting activities.

  Once again, thank you for helping out in my first year teaching in Clifton High School. My students and I are very appreciative.”

  Mrs. Gordon
