• Show and Tell

  Funded May 4, 2021

  Thank you so much for making online summer school so much easier for my students! With your donation students are grasping concepts of math skills and reading strategies. The headphone set allows me to hear students a lot better without all background noises. The built-in microphone allows students to hear more clearer and I am not repeating myself often or students asking me to speak louder.

  Thank you for providing my students with a document camera. It is so much easier to show students how to use given a text to write a summary with a document camera. Students are able to see what I am highlighting, follow along when showing text features, and able to follow along on given worksheets. Thank you so much for enhancing my students education this summer and into 2021-2022 school year!

  Every mininute with students on zoom counts. You have increased my students learning in so many ways! Thank you!”

• Reluctant to Confident: High-Interest Lower Level Books

  Funded May 7, 2021

  Thank you so much for the brand new books for my students! These books are high interest for middle school students but are written on their grade level (2.5-4.0). My students are engaged in reading, enjoy the vibrant pictures, and they are building vocabulary. Students love to read and share these books with their peers. "Stellaluna" is a class favorite! My students love the story of the bats! "Stellaluna" teaches diversity, acceptance, and love for people as well.

  My students were reluctant to read chapter book, "Puppy Place". The book was thicker and has only a few black and white books. When I started "Puppy Place" as a read aloud students wanted to read ahead during their free time. Your donation of books has built confidence in my students reading.

  Thank you! Thank you for providing more than books. Your donation has brought confidence, peer tutoring, social skills, and indepence. Thank you!”

• Keep Calm and Read On: Books About Empathy and Inclusion

  Funded Mar 16, 2021

  Thank you so much for providing my students with books to help them cope and thrive during this pandemic. Many students have lost loved ones, lost friendships, and felt isolated. Your donation of books like "Ella's Mask", "Mixed up Crayon Box" and "Wonder" have opened up discussions for my students. Students are identifying their emotions and learning empathy during this time. Students are misbehaving and fighting less. With your donation for these books students are journaling and discussing rather than arguing and fighting.

  Thank you for giving my students books to help cope and thrive during this pandemic.”

• Life Long Learners with Study.com

  Funded Feb 12, 2021

  Thank you so much for your generous donation to study.com! This past year girls have been encouraged and inspired to go into Science. Young men who were aging out of high school were able to take crash courses and earn high school diploma. Young men and women alike were able to take electives that were not other wise offered in a traditional school setting. Students were able to set their own goals and watch those goals be achieved every day.

  In the past, students felt defeated and discouraged with electives and crash courses. With study.com student are engaged and encouraged. Students are active in their education and continue to develop long term goal setting plans. Students are taking ownership of their education and are taking courses that will help them with the next step after graduation. Thank you!”
