  • Cozy Reading Area!

    Funded Jan 4, 2024

    I want to express my gratitude for your generous contribution towards our classroom. Your support in providing us with a classroom carpet featuring a United States map has had a profound impact on my students' learning experience.

    Since incorporating the map carpet into our classroom, I have witnessed a significant increase in my students' enthusiasm and understanding of our nation's geography. They are now able to locate states, capitals, and geographical features with ease, which has greatly strengthened their overall knowledge.

    The visual appeal of the carpet has also contributed to creating a more engaging learning environment. Studies have shown that visually stimulating classrooms can enhance cognitive processing, foster creativity, and improve problem-solving skills. I have observed these benefits firsthand as my students actively participate in geography lessons and display a deeper interest in learning about our country.

    Your contribution has not only enhanced our classroom but has also positively impacted the educational journey of each student. I am truly grateful for your support, and I know that my students will continue to benefit from this experience for years to come.

    Thank you once again for your generosity and belief in the power of education.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Holzapfel

  • Recess for All!

    Funded Aug 11, 2021

    Thank you for your generous gift to P.S. 380. We are thrilled to have your support on our recess project. Through your donation we've been able to purchase new recess equipment and continue working towards our students having a fun and engaging recess period. You truly made the difference for us, and we are extremely grateful! As we were opening the boxes our students were so excited. They were cheering for all the new recess equipment. When I asked them to use the chalk to make a beautiful 'thank you' mural, they jumped right in with huge smiles on their faces! We really appreciate all the love and support!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Holzapfel

  • Basic Classroom Supplies

    Funded Nov 20, 2018

    First and foremost, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart! These materials will be used in the classroom to support our academic learning environment. The materials we received will allow us to complete projects and keep our room clean and tidy.

    When the students entered the classroom and saw all the boxes they started to cheer! The last few weeks I have been keeping them informed on how close our project was to being funded. They helped to sort the items and store them in the classroom.

    The next step for our students is to create a holiday project. We will use our new materials and we have you to thank!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Holzapfel

  • Clean & Comfortable School Uniforms!

    Funded Feb 27, 2018

    First and foremost, thank you so much for funding this project! Our students come from low income families and do not always have the means to get new, clean uniforms. Often our students outgrow their uniforms or only have a few that they use over and over.

    When we received our uniforms, we began by organizing them. Then the students took turns going to try on their uniforms. Their smiles could light up a whole room. They were so excited. It means so much to them to have "something new" to wear to school each day.

    Please know that with your contribution, you are changing someone's life. We really appreciate all of your donations and shares.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Holzapfel

    This classroom project was brought to life by Salesforce.org and 8 other donors.
School uniforms make schools safer for students, create a "level playing field" that reduces socioeconomic disparities, and encourage children to focus on their studies rather than their clothes. Some families cannot afford to send their children to school in a clean uniform. Students often don't fit in because they don't have uniforms that are the appropriate size for them. Students often have uniforms that are old and worn out. By funding our project, you will help our students be prepared for school each day. By feeling good in their new school uniform, they can be comfortable and fit in at school! We hope you can help make a difference in our student's lives and fund our project. We are thankful for all donations!
