  • Flexible Materials for Flexible Students

    Funded Dec 16, 2021

    Thank you SO much for providing these AMAZING resources for our students. Your generosity has impacted my students, present and future. Your donations give my students the resources needed to succeed in school. They lit up with excitement when seeing our materials for the first time. We can do so many projects now that we have enough art supplies for each student. We were able to have more educational centers throughout the day now that each student can have their own whiteboard marker. We are incredibly thankful for donors such as you!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Mehalshick

  • SEL For Second Grade Students

    Funded Dec 16, 2021

    I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful donation to my classroom. My students have enjoyed the books and materials as much as I have. They love listening and responding to our stories. Especially as the school year is coming to an end, we have been focusing on social and emotional skills to prepare us for next year. The conversations and connections we have built as a class from these materials will last us a lifetime. These materials have truly made such a difference with my students this year, and I look forward to using them for many years to come! Thank you thank you thank you!”

    With gratitude,

  • Amazing Art Activities

    Funded Aug 22, 2021

    Thank you SO much for the amazing art supplies! My second grade students have been using the cardstock for so many projects! We used the cardstock as well as the watercolor paints and paintbrushes in this Veterans Day project that was hung up in our hallway and received many compliments from administration. This was the first time many of the students ever used or saw watercolor paints. It was a very exciting day for them to see that you need water to make the paint work! They really were able to express themselves creatively. At my school, art is often a subject that is cut and the students went many months without having an art class. This for them was a time to relax and really prove to themselves that they are all artists! We also used the card stock and markers to make cards for nursing home residents during this holiday time. We will continue to use these materials, the markers, watercolor paints, paintbrushes, and white cardstock through out this entire year. We really appreciate your donation and you are making a huge impact on our students here.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Mehalshick

    This classroom project was brought to life by Osmo and one other donor.
Since COVID, many students in our school were only in person for three months of learning. Leaving them unable to interact as normal due to social distancing protocols. Many of these students have only been in a school setting for a few months each year and are lacking essential social-emotional skills they would have otherwise learned through talking and playing with their peers in a social environment. The breathing ball will be used in our social-emotional calm down corner to allow for student self-calming when feeling overwhelmed during our regular school day. The books will be used alongside activities during the year for students to work towards regulating their emotions and working on building a classroom community. Any little bit helps and we appreciate your generosity!
