  • Help Us Ensure No One Eats Alone

    Funded Oct 21, 2024

    Thank you for your donations. Our "No One Eats Alone" even was a huge success. Students from different social groups, grades and communities came together to share a snack and share in conversation. This event was so impactful as students who normally would not have someone to have lunch with had a fun experience and were able to meet new friendships.

    To watch the students smile and enjoy the event was wonderful to see and this would not have been possible without your donations. Through this event a mentorship program was created with a 6th and 7th grade advisory class.”

  • Guided Notes Help All Learners

    Funded Mar 10, 2025

    Thank you so much for not only taking an interest in our classroom but for your generous donations. Our students will disabilities thrive when they have the tools and resources necessary for them to succeed. Thanks to your donations, we will now be able to ensure that no matter what (school printers or copy machines down) our students have guided notes.”

  • When It Rains... It Pours

    Funded Jan 25, 2024

    Thank you so much for the donations you provided to my classroom. The socks and ponchos helped keep our children safe and warm during cold rainy days. You ensured that they not only stayed healthy but that they felt safe and provided for when entering school. This kind of comfort does magic for young teens. It fosters the relationships between teens and adults creating relationship that helps learning thrive.

    Your contributions are not just supplies; they are tools that will help us build a more empathetic, supportive, and positive community within our classroom. Thank you for investing in our students' well-being and education.”

  • Personal Hygiene Kits Needed

    Funded Jan 11, 2024

    We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the generous donors who have provided funds for middle school students to purchase deodorant. Your kind contribution ensures that these students have access to basic hygiene products, allowing them to feel confident and comfortable throughout the day. Thanks to your support, these students can focus on their studies and social interactions without feeling self-conscious. Your generosity is greatly appreciated and makes a significant difference in the well-being of our students.”

  • Students Need Materials for Success!

    Funded Apr 6, 2023

    Many students from our neighborhood come to school without any of the necessary materials they need to be successful. As many are from temporary housing, low income families or asylum seekers, they are unable to get school supplies for themselves.

    Your donations helped ensure our students got most of the necessary materials they needed to be successful in the classroom this year. This helped eliminate a lot of stress of the teachers and the students alike. We can not thank you enough for your kindness.”

  • Lab Materials Needed

    Funded Jul 5, 2023

    Thank you for your generosity. With these materials not only will my 120 student be able to conduct their state mandated labs, but numerous other classes in the department will be able to as well! We have 4 state mandated science labs a year in 7th grade science and as you can imagine we go through a lot of materials. Many of these materials are single use as the lab compromises the materials integrity when completed.

    Without these materials the students would lack much of the necessary knowledge needed to succeed on their 8th grade state science exam. These materials also offer hands on opportunity to explore vocabulary words and key concepts.”

  • Classroom Makerspaces: Boost Creativity and Critical Thinking Skills

    Funded Sep 29, 2022

    We were not able to get the cabinet but instead were able to get more materials for a makers space. We got materials that ranged from chargers for their iPads and computers, stem materials and lab materials. These materials have been so impactful in our students learning. We have been able to complete more activities and students have been able to use materials in all of their classrooms. We can't thank you enough for your support and generosity. To know that their are people who care enough about our students to invest in their education is a gift in its own.”

  • Electronics Only Works When They Are Charged!

    Funded Sep 29, 2022

    Due to normal wear and tear we had computers but we're lacking chargers due to cord breakage. We also didn't have proper storage to keep them safe and protected while not in the building. The lack of cvs charges and storages caused the computer to not be as beneficial as they could be because they were breaking or not charged.

    Now that we have a computer cart are computers are properly stored and organized. We also have chargers to replace those damaged and iPad chargers to also charge the iPads.”

The 3Doodler is the world's first 3D drawing technology. With the ever-changing technological world, the traditional way of teaching is that it is not linked to advancing the students’ conceptual ideas and practices especially those with learning disabilities. In science, all students benefit from inquiry-based learning that allows for “sense-making”. When students participate in “sense-making” they are understanding the world by creating, using, exploring, and questioning scientific knowledge or concepts; we give students a voice to question all and ask "why?". I have seen the most disinterested and disengaged students come alive when given the opportunity to question the norm to try new technology. Students are often bored with traditional classroom materials and are desperate for cutting-edge mediums and tools that they see on the internet. The modern technology of 3D pens integrates and blends math, science and art in a user-friendly, efficient and visually appealing way; these 3Doodler pens will help with the integration of innovation, science, and creativity. Instead of student simply drawing an atom, they can create a 3D model that allows them to explore the ins and outs of that atom. While building and creating models, students are also making connections to the "real-world" and the possibilities of various jobs. Let's help spark curiosity in the classroom together.
