  • A Rug to Gather On!

    Funded Sep 21, 2022

    I cannot thank you enough for supporting our classroom. I can’t wait to share the good news with the class, and see their excitement the first time they gather on their new rug. The students are going to love having a rug to sit on rather than the cold floor. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.”

  • Wobbling Into a New Year

    Funded Sep 28, 2021

    Thank-you so much for helping make my students' dreams come true by allowing each of them to now have a wobble stool. They are extremely excited, and can't wait to receive their new stools! Thank-you from the bottom of my heart for making a difference and supporting our classroom.”

  • From Dirt to Treasure

    Funded Dec 4, 2019

    I am so thankful for each and everyone of you! I can’t wait to go in and share with my classes that our project was funded! To me, it will be even more exciting to see the students use the materials and apply what they have been learning in the classroom to this activity! Thank you so much for helping me create the perfect learning environment for my students, without your support activities like this would be impossible.”

  • Wiggling and Wobbling to Learn

    Funded Oct 8, 2019

    Thank-you so much for supporting our classroom and helping us to fund our classroom project! I can't wait to be able to share the good news with the classes in the morning! The students truly love being able to wiggle and wobble in the wobble stools while they are working, and the stools make a huge difference in our learning environment. Thank-you for helping to make our learning environment even better for us, and for your generosity. It is truly appreciated.”

  • Building Our Core and Our Brain!

    Funded Dec 1, 2018

    Thank-you so much for supporting our classroom and helping us bring our project to life! Since we received the wobble stools, we have had the opportunity to fidget in our seats and move around in a safe way while we are learning. This helps us in so many ways! For example, we are better able to focus while we complete our work because we can be moving while we do it! This also helps those of us who need to fidget while we learn to do so in a manner that is not disruptive to others in the class. These wobble stools are also helping us to build stronger core muscles which will help keep us strong. Thank-you so much for your support!”

  • The More We Move, the More We Learn

    Funded Feb 14, 2019

    I can't begin to thank-you enough for your generosity and support. Because of you, our class will now have more options when it comes to sitting and completing their work. They will be able to safely "wobble" while completing classwork that takes sustained effort, and they will be able to sit on the floor around the room while working on their Chromebooks all thanks to you! When I shared the news with them, they were beyond excited, and surprised to hear that our project was fully funded! Thank-you for your support, kindness, and generosity. We cannot express how much it means to us!”

  • Building Robots, Building the Future!

    Funded Oct 22, 2017

    Thank-you so much for supporting my classroom and project! Watching the students cooperatively interact and work together to design, build, and then program their various robots was so rewarding for me as a teacher. The skills like working together to create something are skills that they will need throughout their lives no matter what they choose to do in the future. In the digital age that we are currently living in learning how to build and program things like robots will benefit them as they move forward in school, and beyond. Thank-you for helping to keep the young minds of my students engaged and ready for whatever the future holds for them!”

  • Exercising While Learning

    Funded Dec 31, 2017

    Thank-you so much for supporting my classroom project. The materials have allowed my students a safe way to move while learning and staying focused. The students really enjoy having the option to use the stationary bike pedals, and it helps them to stay focused when they are having a hard time doing so. You support has helped my students to engage successfully in the curriculum especially when doing assignments that require a lot of quiet focus. Thank-you again for your generosity and for supporting my classroom.”

  • Storytelling Through Virtual Adventures

    Funded Mar 27, 2018

    Words cannot express how excited I was when I read my email and found out that our project was fully funded. This project was one that my students were the most excited about! This will bring to life the places that they are learning about and help them to become better writers because they will experience things that would have otherwise been impossible. Because of you, my students' education will be enhanced, and they will have learning experiences that they are sure not to forget. Thank-you for helping to make my class' dreams come true!”

  • Technologically Advancing the Next Generation

    Funded Nov 29, 2017

    Thank-you so much for helping to bring more technology into my classroom. Throughout the course of a school day, students work on independent research projects, complete various subject related assignments, and are able to get additional help using computer based programs like IXL and Read Theory! Without having enough chromebooks for all of my students, allowing them the ability to engage with technology and conduct independent research projects would be impossible. Because of donors such as yourself, I am able to allow my students a wide range of options when it comes to demonstrating their learning/ knowledge, and that makes them all the more eager to complete these projects and assignments! Thank-you for continuing to support my classroom, and helping my students to learn and thrive!”
