The project aimed to provide new books to students, enhancing their learning experience and fostering a love for reading. The students were overjoyed upon receiving the new books. Their excitement was contagious, and they eagerly dove into reading. The new additions to our classroom library have significantly boosted student engagement with reading, sparking lively discussions and an enthusiasm for learning. Since the arrival of the new books, there has been a noticeable increase in the students' reading time and participation in book-related activities. The students have been requesting more books which is awesome!! The project has not only enriched their educational resources but also inspired a deeper appreciation for literature. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the donors for their generosity, which has made this positive impact possible.”

This classroom project was brought to life by SONIC Foundation and 5 other donors.
Your donations have brought a wave of excitement and anticipation among both students and staff. The pencils you've provided are more than just writing tools; they are instruments of creativity and learning, allowing our students to jot down their thoughts, solve problems, and sketch their dreams. The circuit maze has electrified our science lessons, sparking curiosity and illuminating the minds of young learners as they navigate the complexities of electrical circuits. Your support has not only enriched our educational resources but has also shown our students the power of community and generosity. It is one thing to tell them about kindness and collaboration, but it is infinitely more impactful for them to see these values in action. Thanks to you, our classroom is a place where learning is not limited by resources, and where every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential.”
Thank you so much for your generous donations to help this project come to life! Our students love playing outside for recess and you made it possible for more students to enjoy the fun!
Soccer and basketball are the two most popular sports among our 5th graders. These new supplies are highly needed, as our current options are not the best quality. When the box of recess equipment arrived students clapped and cheered! Thanks again for making this project possible, you truly are our recess hero and we cannot thank you enough for your help!!”

This project has helped us to grow our Math 24 Game club with more sets of challenge cards! Students solve the cards by using any operation to get to the solution of 24. This game has brought students the opportunity to enjoy math with peers and practice their fluency. While some students enjoy playing at a competitive level, others play for fun and all students grow an appreciation of math fluency. Thank you for your support with this project. It has been such a passion to share the game with students and staff alike. Now we have the materials necessary to share 24 Game with more math classrooms in our school!”

We are greatly appreciative of your support for our 5th grade classroom. Thank you for taking the time and resources to help our class get a restock for the school year. Students were excited once our Donors Choose boxes were delivered and cheered while opening the new materials! The new pencils, expo and paper materials will make a huge impact on our classroom. Student will be able to use these materials in this classroom and future students this will make an impact on as well. Thank you for making this project possible!!”
We are so grateful for the new Science materials in our classroom! Students use the Newton's Cradle to explore properties of motion and force, magnifying glasses with rock samples to explore features of rock formation, magnetic wands to engage with mixtures and solution, and so much more! Thank you for the materials that students are using to reinforce standards that they've learned this year about Energy. Its amazing to see the connections from our Earth's energy in many different forms and through transformations. Thank you for helping to make learning fun and engaging in our classroom! Your support is sincerely appreciated.”

Thank you for making this project possible!!”
The items arrived and I set up the cart while students were at specials. The excited in the room when they returned and we had an entire shelf filled with supplies is unforgettable!! Thank you for the cart, paper, colored pencils and all of the items you donated to help us get through to this remaining quarter. The students especially love building with the brain flakes and letting their imagination run wild! You help is beyond appreciated and our entire class is thankful for your generosity. Thank you!!”
We received half of the book the day before Spring Break (in record time) and the students were over the moon excited about opening brand new graphic novels!! Immediately they dove in and began reading with enthusiasm. A student who was planning to be on a long road trip asked if she could borrow the book and promised to bring it back in great condition. Of course I allowed it!! Anything that gets text into the hands of our readers is OK in my book. Thank you for your generous support. The smell of new books is one of my favorite things, a close second to seeing kids eager to read something new!! Thank you so much!”

Hi and welcome to my Donors Choose page! I am a third grade teacher at a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) focused elementary school. I am a firm believer that learning should be interactive and motivated by inquiry. Students need hands-on tools to help them make sense of new information. The supplies that I have added to my list will allow students to collaborate with other learners and have fun in the process! Please consider donating to my classroom so that I can better provide a quality education to my students :)
Your donation of any amount will be highly appreciated by myself and my wonderful and talented students! Thank you so much!!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Pivonka
