  • Pocketing Success: Organizing Minds, Empowering Efficiency

    Funded Feb 24, 2024

    I wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for your incredibly generous donation of chair pockets for our classroom. Your contribution has made a significant impact on our students' learning experience, and we are truly grateful for your support.

    With the addition of these chair pockets, our students now have a convenient and organized way to store their electronics, such as Chromebooks, headphones, and chargers. This not only enhances their efficiency but also fosters a more productive and engaging learning environment.

    Your generosity has not only provided a practical solution but has also shown our students the importance of community support and kindness. They are thrilled to have such a functional and stylish addition to their learning space.

    Once again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and generosity. Your support is invaluable, and we are incredibly grateful for your commitment to our students' education.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Winston

  • Bonding with Boardgames!

    Funded May 11, 2023

    On behalf of my third-grade class, I wanted to express our heartfelt gratitude for your incredibly generous donation of board games. Your thoughtful contribution has brought immense joy and excitement into our classroom. The enthusiasm and laughter that fill our classroom during game time are truly heartwarming. Witnessing our students happily playing and interacting with each other while learning valuable skills is a testament to the positive impact your donation has made.

    Your generosity has not only given us games but has also created opportunities for our students to build social connections, improve their critical thinking abilities, and develop important life skills. Your support means the world to us and has made a lasting difference in the lives of these bright young minds.

    Thank you for making learning a joyous adventure for our classroom. We are incredibly grateful for your support.”

  • Kinesthetic Readers!

    Funded Jan 6, 2023

    Thank you for your generous donation, we have been putting all the games to good use daily. The students love to practice their long and short vowel words with the fun and engaging games. The students are blending sounds and learning various spelling patterns with ease. When I explained Donor Choose project, they were amazed that strangers cared so much about their education.

    It has made a bigger difference in my room than I anticipated. The students love it so much, and they are so grateful. It is obvious how much they like it by the careful way they treat the games. Everything is still in perfect condition, even with constant use by eight-year-olds! The students know what a great blessing the games are, and so do I. It's a fantastic addition to our classroom. I look forward to finding even more ways to enhance my classroom.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Winston
