• Art Supplies for Classroom Activities!

  Funded May 20, 2016

  Thank you to everyone who donating to this supplies project! My students were so excited to see and use all of our new supplies. They especially loved the water color paints and paper. We created beautiful artwork centered around our Social Studies unit on Brazil. They were able to really showcase their artistry in painting animals found in the rain forest. The addition of new scissors, plenty of construction paper, pencils, and the paints will also be used next year! It is truly great to have the supplies in our classroom!”

• Let's Play Ball!

  Funded Mar 9, 2016

  Thank you so much for all your support in this baseball themed project! My students and I absolutely loved all of the baseball equipment. The class was able to use the baseball gloves, bases, balls, and bat outside during our recess periods. I was able to teach them the basics of hitting and catching, while working on teamwork. I think the students were inspired to continue their passion for organized sports, and will work on their baseball skills next year, too! The enthusiasm I saw from my class around playing baseball was great! We even got the chance to visit the local minor league stadium for a tour. We will be baseball fans for life! Thanks again!!!”

  Thank you so much for donating to our classroom project for "Literacy and Baseball"! My students loved learning about a new sport, and about teamwork.

  Thank you so much for giving my students these wonderful robots. My class is learning so much about coding and programming through Dot and Dash from Wonder Workshop!

• 3rd Grade Bullying Prevention!

  Funded Jan 14, 2015

  Thank you so much for your kind donations to this bullying prevention project! My students loved the wrist bands, game, and books! They have learned a lot through discussions in class and the importance of being a good person.

  With the classroom books, I have been able to share them with several other teachers to use as read alouds. The teaching points are necessary at this age for students to understand the strong impact they have on other people. Their words, and choices throughout their lives matter. I know you all have truly made a difference.”
