Classroom Food Pantry
Funded Aug 10, 2022I am writing this letter to express my heartfelt gratitude for your support in my Donors Choose project. I am overwhelmed with joy and gratitude for the contributions you made toward purchasing snacks and quick lunches for my classroom food pantry. Your kindness and generosity have made it possible for me to provide a safe and shame-free space for my students to access food whenever they need it.
Your donation has enabled me to keep my classroom pantry stocked with snacks and easy-to-make breakfasts and lunches that my students can take without feeling embarrassed or ashamed of their socioeconomic status. I have seen firsthand how access to food can impact a student's ability to learn, and your contribution has made it possible for me to remove that barrier for my students.
I cannot thank you enough for your support in making my classroom a better place for my students. Your donation will have a lasting impact on my students, and I am grateful for the difference you have made in their lives. I promise to continue providing a safe space for my students to access food, and I will make sure that your donation is put to the best possible use.
Once again, thank you for your generosity and support. You have truly made a difference in the lives of my students, and I am forever grateful for your kindness.”
With gratitude,

Funded Jul 30, 2021Thank you so much for your generous donations, because of you I was able to provide all of my students with the supplies they needed. Due to the pandemic, our demographics at the school have changed drastically and we are seeing a lot more low socio-economic status students in the classroom. Having a "stockpile" of supplies so to speak has made it so much easier to support my kids. So many of them worry about being able to afford what they need and allowing them to take what they need when they need has helped ease so much of their anxiety. The students feel so much more comfortable getting the supplies from me knowing that they can access it when needed without having to announce to the rest of the class that they cannot afford to get their own.
With the supplies we got because of your donations, we are able to do more project based lessons knowing that all students will ave what they need for the activity. We are so thankful for the opportunity to have access to everything. The students learning has been so much more meaningful now that I have been able to eliminate the stress of buying supplies!”

Funded Jul 29, 2021The response from my students to the new books in the classroom has been great! I have been able to help almost all of my students (still have some reluctant readers) find a book to read that they have actually enjoyed. We have implemented a new entry task where each day instead of answering questions, the kids read a book of their choice for 10-15 minutes. Having my classroom library filled with modern young adult books has been such a blessing in making this new entry task work smoothly. While we do have an amazing and well stocked school library, having to choose from that many books tends to overwhelm the kids. With my classroom library I know what is there and with a wide enough variety I am able to help them find something I think they will like.
Now that we are back in the classroom after the pandemic and the students are adjusting to being in-person students again, it is really helpful to have the first few minutes of class be dedicated to calm and relaxing reading time instead of heading straight into more work. My students absolutely love having that time to decompress and escape into their book worlds. I am truly grateful to have the opportunity to support my students in this by providing them with lots of different book options. I could not have done this without your generous donations. It has truly made a world ofdifference for my students. Especially those reluctant readers who swear they will never like a book... we have even been able to find one for them! Thank you so much for helping me achieve this goal and helping meet one of the greatest needs my students have!”
