I can not thank you enough for the pure joy these items have brought to my students. I have been able to run lunch & learn while students make bracelets together. I have been able to hold group sessions while students make bracelets together. I have been able to introduce new student to other peers while they make bracelets together. It has been so very helpful and positive to have these materials handy.
Thank you for giving us these resources. Thank you for spreading kindness.”

Thank you for supporting this project. We work one on one with our students to improve their attendance. We learn more and more about the daily struggles they are facing holding them from coming to school. We are providing them with encouragement and support to make every day count with your help. School wide our attendance is improving and we truly believe it because of the one on one support, resources and attention we can bring with programs like donor choose. We are very grateful and appreciate you.”

Thank you for supporting our idea to build Class of 2024 pride. We will be adding Class of 2024 design on all items moving forward. I sense of provide to support the plans to graduation June 2024. We are collectively deign ideas and new items to share our with students. We used these mini bags to put essential travel kits for 11th grade students - we added motivational stickers, magnets, travel kits and hygiene essentials to give out to students in need. It was a success and brought joy to so many. Thank you for providing us with these items. The students are designing their own stickers for us to print out and add to laptops, visions boards and classroom posters.”

Thank you for supporting our vision. We gave out Class of 2024 journals to students, parents and all team members. We are building our school community with these notebooks. Students learn about goal setting and what a perfect time in the start of 2023 school year to provide students with tools to help enhance and organize their goal setting skills. We are giving them an outlet to express and communicate using words and art work. Helping students find ways to release their thoughts with your support. They take pride thinking about graduation in 2024 :)”

Thank you for letting me bring some extra joy to the start of the school year for class of 2024. We held many sessions and celebrated bringing the students together again to kick off their junior year of high school. We use journaling as a coping skill to give them a break from social media posting. We use journaling to remined the joy and uplifting feeling one can get from free writing experiences down. We use these during counseling sessions and in health class. Class of 2024 started high school during a global health crisis. We will focus on unleashing joy for them this year more than ever.”

Thank you for helping me create a college & career readiness space for my students. I have been using an old library book closet as my office. Needless to say the space is TINY. Having an iPad and tech resources available has been a blessing for these students. We are able to complete the task and send in application online with ease. They need the support. Most of our students do not have access to equipment needed. Our school provides them support and helps increase their post secondary opportunities.”

We had a blast celebrating the class of 2022. What great memories we were able to pull together for these students. We were only able to pull this off with your help. Thank you for supporting our vision. It all came together to nicely. We are creating traditions at the school for years of students to see and support. We will always host a senior commitment day now and we will advertise their post secondary choices. Our school gives them support today, tomorrow and always. I have worked at this school for 17 years and would not be able to do as much as I do without support. Thank you. Thank you!”

Thank you for helping us build an awesome college and career readiness office for our students. I am currently located in an old small book closet at my school. Allowing smaller devices likes this laptop gives me the chance to help students fill out and submit work and colleges applications in the moment. We have made every space an office or classroom. Our school is overcrowded and our resources are low.
Programs like donors choose give us endless support and our students benefit from this greatly”

My students have so little and I want to give them so much more. All of the students here come from homes below the poverty line, and I want them to have the chance to experience something that can influence their lives. Our classrooms offer homework help and academic enrichment sessions mornings, lunchtime and after school.
These snacks will fuel our children. Granola bars, cookies, and fruit snacks are the perfect snacks for our kids. Our school bends over backward to help our students as much as possible, but budget cuts have severely decimated funding and I just can't afford to give them everything they need. Often time’s student’s come to me saying that their stomach hurts because they haven’t had anything to eat. This is why I am here asking for support. Thank you in advance if you choose to fund my project!
