    Funded Oct 20, 2024

    We are writing to express our sincere gratitude for your incredibly generous donation of books, candy, and recess equipment to my classroom. Your kindness and thoughtfulness have made a significant impact on our community.

    The books will provide my students with new opportunities to learn, explore, and expand their imaginations. The candy and recess equipment will help to create a more enjoyable and engaging learning environment for everyone. Your generosity has brought joy and excitement to my students.

    We are truly grateful for your support and commitment to our mission. Your donation has made a difference in the lives of many people.

    Thank you again for your kindness.”

  • Brain Break Bonuses

    Funded Mar 6, 2023

    Thank you so much for your generous donation! My students loved the Magna Tiles, portable white board and sketch books.

    The students were so excited to use their sketch books since a lot of them are incredible artists. They also enjoy playing teacher and challenging each other to Tic-Tac-Toe with the new portable white board. The students absolutely love the additional Magna Tiles. Now they all have a chance to play.

    Thank you again for providing my students with these fun and educational items! We really appreciate it!”

  • Rewarding Respectful Royals

    Funded Oct 30, 2022

    Words cannot express how truly grateful we are for your generosity! The students love everything! Their eyes lit up as I showed them all of the wonderful prizes, goodies and games you donated. They were in shock...lol.

    The Magna Tiles are their favorite things to play with during breaks and recess. I will be ordering a few more for my next Donors Choose project. That is how much they love them.

    The colorful headphones are also a hit. I will be ordering more of those as well for my new students next year. They are very comfortable and durable.

    The snacks (DumDums and Fruits Snacks) always hit the spot after a long day of learning. The prizes (Squishies, Fidget Keychains and Rubix Cubes) are very popular as well.

    Thank you again!!!”

  • Fabulous Flexible Furniture

    Funded Mar 7, 2022

    Thank you so much for your generous donation of flexible seating to my classroom. My students absolutely loved the wobble cushions and wiggle chairs. Their eyes lit up as soon as they saw them.

    My students with disabilities were able to focus on the lessons I taught without having to get out of their chairs. That was not the case with the traditional chairs they used before. The rest of my class enjoyed using the seats, as well. It was a win-win for everyone!

    We are truly grateful for your support!”
