  • Supply and Demand

    Funded Nov 6, 2022

    I'm blown away by the generosity! These supplies are so expensive for me to replace a few times during the year. Already now, we are on our second box of expo markers and it's only November. I ran out of ink as well, so we haven't been able to print many projects yet this year either. My students will be very excited to learn that you have supported our classroom and that they will be getting these items! Thank you so very much!”

    With gratitude,

  • Stupendous Seat Sacks

    Funded Nov 6, 2022

    I am completely blown away by your generosity!! I cannot wait to be able to use these seat sacks to organize supplies better for the kids. Their work spaces are not set up for the amount of materials they need, and having the seat sacks will help to increase space that they have to work, since they can store more materials in the sacks on their chairs. Thank you so very much!!”

  • Writing Wizards

    Funded Aug 19, 2022

    I want to express my greatest thanks and gratitude for supporting my students for this project!!! Having these resources will really help us during our writing times every day! Students will be able to get extra practice both independently and with a group. This will definitely help with their writing skills overall. Thank you so very much!”

  • Loving Literature

    Funded Aug 13, 2020

    Thank you so much for your generosity and support for my students!!! This means so much to me and will to them as well!! They love doing their lit circles and Im hoping that we can continue them even from a distance during this virtual learning period. Having their own book with them will definitely make it easier!!”

  • Dynamics to Virtual Learning

    Funded Aug 11, 2020

    Thank you so much for your donations! It means so much to my students and I for on going support. I cannot wait to put these materials to use this year for our virtual learning period, and even during face to face instruction, whenever that gets to happen again! Thank you so very much again!!”

  • Ink-Credible Ink

    Funded Jun 20, 2017

    Thank you so much for supporting my students. With the supply of ink that we have, my students now are not limited to what they can print for their projects. They can even print some color photos to add to their projects! Prior to the supply of ink, we were very limited with what we could print, due to constraints on ink supply. We were also unable to display their work in the hallways because we didn't have enough ink to print them.

    Now, they have no limits, at least until the supply runs out! Thank you so much again for your donations.”

    Thank you so very much for your generosity!! My students and I are so very grateful!! We cannot wait to use our comfy carry me seat cushions!!! With a week into the school year, theyve already said how hard and cold the floor is. These will be used very well in my class!! Thank you so much again!!”

  • Supply and Demand

    Funded Sep 14, 2016

    Thank you so very much for donating to my students. I can't begin to express how grateful we are for your generosity.

    My students use the dry erase markers more than once a day as part of their learning and reinforcement. We will not have to worry about markers anymore this year with the generous supply that we have.

    We will be able to make our engaging hands-on activities with the colored paper (and white paper) without having to worry about running out this year.

    Thank you again so very much!”

  • Math Maddness

    Funded Oct 12, 2015

    My students and I want to thank you tremendously for supporting our classroom. They were ecstatic when they heard that we were receiving these new Math learning activities. They've gotten to play with them a few times so far since we've received them. With all the indoor recess we've had because of the cold weather, they sometimes play with them then as well. They are learning math concepts even before they've been taught because of them. But most, are reinforcing skills already learned, which for many, they need that extra practice.

    Thank you again for your support. It means a lot to me and my students. God Bless.”

  • Organized Chaos

    Funded Nov 7, 2015

    My students and I want to think you again for supporting us. They were ecstatic when they heard the news that they were getting organization supplies. Especially the dry erase markers, since we use those almost daily, and go thru them like crazy!!

    We now have quite the organized classroom--more so than before because the added magnetic bins and plastic bins we've been able to utilize sorting books, station materials and school supplies. Before these, we had to store them in the coat room in the back, where only I had access to them. Now, they are organized neatly on some book shelves and on our magnetic board, for easy access for myself and for the students. This also allows for smooth transitioning.

    Thank you again for your support! It means a lot to me and my students! God Bless!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Hett
