Thank you so much for donating to fund this entire project. The girls in my class are very often in need of these feminine care products. They now have full access to every and anything they need each day. There is enough supplies in the project to hopefully last until the spring and to even allow my students to bring home items as they need. Feminine care is so important especially at this young age. I am so beyond grateful to be able to provide my female students with enough care products to help them feel comfortable and clean all day long. Thank you for helping my students!!!”
Thank you so much for helping me fund this essential project. These are all items that we are very in need of in my classroom. My students were so thrilled to see we are back in stock with the supplies we need and use every single day! Everything especially the soap and starbursts have been put to immediate use. It is a treat to have a sink in our classroom this year and to be able to wash our hands free of germs whenever we need. I do believe this is what has been helping keep students healthy and free of sickness so far in the school year. The students have absolutely been loving earning a sweet treat starburst throughout the day as well. It really helps to keep them motivated and excited during the school day! It generous donors like you that make a difference in my students lives each and every day.”

I am so thrilled that this project was able to get funded so quickly! Thank you to my two very generous donors and the Neukom Family Foundation for matching all donations to my project. The kindle and its case arrived this week and my students were absolutely thrilled to learn about it and put it to use. My students have really enjoyed exploring all of the books they are able to read. The kids kindle has not only provided my students with an endless amount of books to read but it will continue to give them tons of practice with reading online for years to come. This item will continue to be a very special reward for my students to work towards earning each week!”

I am so thrilled that this project got funded just in time for the Lunar New Year! I have been teaching origami to my students in our new school art club each Friday. This has been a very exciting new experience for all of my students. Learning origami has also been a great way to honor some of the holiday cultural traditions! I have used the books to teach about the Chinese lunar New Year and create a poster to honor the year of the dragon to display in my school! Thank you for helping me celebrate different cultures within my classroom and school!”

Thank you for helping me celebrate love and kindness within my classroom this year on Valentines Day! My students have been working hard all year and are about to start a heavy season of test-preparation for our state tests. This celebration is essential to show my students my appreciation for their dedication and perseverance through their classwork. My students have already begun to read all of the Valentines Day books and enjoying the activities. The decorations have really helped spread love and kindness throughout my classroom. Thank you for helping me reward and celebrate my students love and kindness each day!”

Thank you so much for supporting my students on their journey of reading. My class has been rigorously reading all year long and were very thrilled to see so many new books added to our classroom library for them to read! These books are extra special because they have been specifically requested by my students themselves. They especially have been loving the "Amelia" and "Wings of fire" series. Thank you so much for making a difference and helping to foster a love for reading within my classroom!”

I can't thank you enough for your warmth and generosity! I am extremely grateful and excited that I am able to use all of these wonderful art supplies throughout the year in my classroom and in my art club! My students have already been using these supplies, especially the sketchbooks in out art club. Other supplies have been used to celebrate and honor important figures in history this month as well as create other art projects focusing on earth day and various topics we have been studying in science! Thanks to this project I was able to bring more color into my classroom by integrating art and creativity while teaching reading, writing, history, and science! I cannot wait to share the pictures with you of the artwork we have been creating! None of this would be possible without generous donors like you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. This donation truly made a direct positive impact on my students learning and really helped to foster a love for art and appreciation history! I will be able to use these supplies for many years to come!”

Thank you so much to ALLSTATE for your incredible donation this this special project. Because of you, I was able to create care packages with my students. We put all of the winter and essential items in a bag and distributed it today! I was able to throw my students a hot chocolate party with the leftover items to celebrate their service and success! You have shared the gift of giving with us this year, and we will pass that along with this opportunity! My students and I thank you greatly for this opportunity!”

My students were beyond thrilled to finally receive a classroom elf! This is definitely their favorite new addition EVER to our classroom! Today is the first day that I could implement the elf into their behavior management and they absolutely loved it! Their faces when they entered my classroom and saw the elf was priceless! I will continue to use this elf to promote positive behavior as well as a cheerful classroom environment. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for helping me bring the spirit of the holiday season into my classroom!”
Thank you so much to the incredible donors of this project for helping to bring some holiday spirit and cheer within my classroom. My students were so exited to see all of the packages come in this week. They are extremely thrilled to read all of these new books that they requested! They are especially excited about the new cultural holiday books because learning about how different cultures celebrate holidays has become a recent interest among many of my students. Endless thank you to donors choose and their special partners who are consistently helping me give my students what they need to succeed and as well as bringing excitement for reading into my classroom. These projects mean more to my students than words can describe!”
