Thank you again for your donation to my project. These are materials my students constantly use in our classroom and help us produce the best work possible!

This classroom project was brought to life by Optimum and 5 other donors.
My students were amazed to be gifted these materials, they were so excited to get their personal binders, pens, and pencils to succeed in their studies. We have continued growing this year and students made these requests with me so when the materials came in, they were so excited to see the care and attention you brought to them! We, the educators, hope that by providing the materials for organization now, we can build a lifetime habit and value of organization for our students.
Thank you again for the generous donation, we greatly appreciate it.”

This project has helped immensely. Students themselves have said, "The binders honestly help keep me organized." I would say the binders are used every day for students. Each month we put a new calendar and they can see it outside of the binder. I have noticed my students in AVID are the ones who are most prepared, they always have pencils and highlighters thanks to their pencil bags.
In addition to the supplies, my classroom shows students the possible colleges they can attend after high school and gives real evidence of college in their everyday lives. I am fortunate that I have students attending almost all of the schools that are represented in the classroom and I can show my students pieces of their future now thanks to this project.
My students and I are incredibly grateful for this project!”
Thank you so much for your donation to this project. My students this year are so advanced and constantly asking questions in their classes. This year's students love to use the whiteboards and work with their groups to teach one another and share their answers with the whole class.
My physiology students are eager to use all of their new tools to practice learning about physiological concepts like blood pressure, pulse, and skeletons. I have already shown them the tools and they were shocked to see we would be using these in our classroom!”

Thank you so much for this donation, I was able to use this book for my biology, genetics, and physiology classes! We have gone through and used the book to understand the Ebola virus and studied immunology. My students were very curious on the similarities between Ebola and the COVID-19 virus.
We used this book during the first 10 minutes of class to read individually and then students would discuss the excerpt with a partner (as shown in the videos). This book helped open up students worldviews as it introduced the Ebola virus appearing in Washington D.C..
My students were so happy with the new books and even wanted to pose with them, thank you for spreading joy to my class!”
