Flexible Seating, Flexible Thinking
Funded Jan 3, 2022Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping us to update our printing technology and provide various opportunities for flexible seating. The new printer has enabled my students and I to personalize learning and print out digital activities and creations. It also allowed us to access a number of interactive portals and our learning experiences to new and exciting levels!
Beginning this year still entrenched in a pandemic was very challenging, but having updated technology has allowed us to build our class community in innovative ways as well as provide more choice for comfortable seating to meet our varying needs. Knowing that my littles feel emotionally safe, secure, connected, and looking forward to coming to school every day is so inspiring and heartwarming. Your generosity helped to provide us with the technology needed to be the best mentor, guide, and teacher to my fabulous first grade crew. Their smiles and joy are priceless, especially during these challenging times and for that I am beyond grateful!
In honor of your kindness, I also made some contributions to help other teachers' projects reach completion. I am so thankful for all the generosity I received and I was raised to always pay it forward. It makes my heart smile to help other teachers and their students experience the joy that you've given my students and me!”

Funded Apr 3, 2019Thank you SO much for making it possible for me to participate in such an incredible learning experience! The workshop you enabled me to attend helped me to add to my teacher resource network and gain valuable knowledge regarding project based learning. The priceless knowledge I have gained will result in more meaningful learning experiences for my students as well as my colleagues' students. I will continue to use what I've learned to positively impact growth and engagement for everyone in our amazing school community!

Sharpening Our Minds...But First Our Pencils!
Funded Apr 20, 2019Thank you SO much for providing the funding for our new pencil sharpeners! Our class community was beyond elated when they saw the boxes! They couldn't wait to use the new sharpeners and were overjoyed when they saw how quickly and efficiently their pencils were sharpened!
Your kindness and generosity have made it easier to obtain "writing ready" pencils allowing us to focus our time on exploring and learning through writing rather than wasting time sharpening our pencils. Your gift awarded us precious time back so that we may write more, solve more, and challenge one another more! Now that we can sharpen with ease, we also use our new sharpeners to keep our colored pencils sharp and ready for creative work. We also share our sharpeners with any other teachers who need to sharpen pencils and don't have this luxury in their own rooms.
Thank you for helping us to sharpen our pencils and sharpen our minds! We truly appreciate your support!”

Ms. Alexiou
