Thank you so much for FULLY funding this project. Items included this project have been essential to my students well being throughout the school year. We are constantly running out of tissues, bandaids, wipes etc and thanks to you we are now fully restocked! Having a restock of these items has already made such a difference in my students comfort within the classroom. Lastly, I was able to personalize each of the drawstring bags for my students to use on our latest field trip to the zoo. They absolutely loved the bags and they came in such great use to hold their lunch and other belongings while on the field trip. Can't wait to use these bags on all of our upcoming field trips! Thank you so much again for your generosity and genuine care for my students, you truly have made all the difference!”

Thank you so much for helping to bring this special project to life for my students! My students were so thrilled to hear that this project was funded and even more thrilled to see the packages get delivered this week! Thanks to your generosity, I have been able to provide my students with new special books, activities, and treats to fill our classroom this spring! They have worked so hard this year and I am so glad to be able to reward them with books and treats that they will love. Without generous donors like you, none of this would be possible.

I was very happy to be able to fund this project myself on a match day! Thanks to the donors choose book match day on March, 30th 2023, I was able to get a plethora of new books for my students. My students were so excited to unbox all of the new books as they arrived in the mail. They have already begun reading them and leaving reviews! They are especially thrilled about the new poetry books we got to celebrate poetry month. These books will be used alongside lessons to teach them poetry this unit. Their love of reading has grown so much this year and it would not be possible without donors choose and match days!”

I can't thank you enough for your warmth and generosity! I am extremely grateful and excited that I was able to use all of these wonderful art supplies to help my students celebrate and honor black history this month! Thanks to this project I was able to bring more color into my classroom by integrating art and creativity while teaching black history throughout the month of February. Their final watercolor portraits came out absolutely amazing, I cannot wait to share the pictures with you! 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 for black history within them!”

Your generous donation has been a huge support in allowing me to properly integrate technology into my classroom. These iPad accessories have especially helped me differentiate for the various needs of my students. Having the pencil and keyboard is essential to make research and drawing/editing seamless. My students have especially enjoyed being able to create digital art with the use of the Apple Pencil. Having a classroom iPad and accessories has had an immediate positive impact in my classroom. Thank you so much for helping me integrate modern technology into my classroom!”

Thank you so much for helping to fully fund this project. The completion of this project has allowed me to integrate technology seamlessly into my classroom. My students already have been able to experience learning in a whole new way with the use of the ipad, especially through digital art. This iPad has also allowed me to lesson plan remotely and differentiate in endless ways in order to meet the needs of all my students. Your generosity means the world to my students and I! Having this technology resource in my class and at home has truly made all the difference!”

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing this project to life just in time for Valentines Day. My students were absolutely thrilled to celebrate kindness yesterday during our Valentines day party. We spent the day making Valentines day cards for our loved ones with all of the supplies, eating the delicious treats, and enjoying the goodie bags. The students especially loved the personalized goodie bags and began using the items in them right away! Without your kindness, care, and generosity, I would not be able to reward my students with this special party celebrating love and kindness. My goal for this year was to help make up for as much lost time as possible from covid 19 remote school Thanks to your help, I have been able to meet that goal in my classroom! The smiles on their faces were priceless, this was truly a celebration that they will never forget!”

Thank you so much for completely funding my project. These essential items have been put to great use with the cold weather that we have been having so far this winter. Thanks to your generosity, I was able to make "winter goodie bags" for my students including the hats, gloves, headbands, and a package of hot chocolate!
My students were absolutely thrilled to receive these goodie bags and immediately began wearing the items that same day!
These warm winter items have been especially useful for my students while traveling to and from school and when going on outdoor class trips. Your generosity and care for my students is extremely appreciated. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me keep my students warm and healthy this season.”

Thank you so much for donating to this special project! This year I am focusing on creating a more inclusive classroom library by including plenty of multi-cultural books! Having these books have made all the difference so far in my classroom. These books have helped my students be able to better learn about other cultures, and more about their own, as well as celebrate each other! The holiday books have also made celebrating the holidays extra-fun and special.
Without your help, I would not be able to expand my library and create a more inclusive selection of books for my eager readers. My students love for reading has grown tremendously already since the beginning of the year. Thank you so much, you are truly making all the difference!”
