I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks for your generous donation to my classroom. Your support means so much to me and my students. With your contribution, we are able to provide valuable resources and create a learning environment that fosters growth, creativity, and curiosity.
Your kindness and generosity will have a lasting impact on the education of many young minds, and I’m incredibly grateful for your commitment to making a difference. Thank you again for your support—it truly makes a world of difference.”
Thank you so much for supporting my class. These items have meant the world to the students. Having these supplies truly helped my students have an amazing start to the year!
Having snacks available for hungry bellies was so special and the students loved being able to grab a quick snack if they needed it! The basic supplies were also so useful! We were able to print our work and charge our ipads. We also loved having timers to use when we worked in small groups. It also helped us to stay on task as we worked in the classroom!”

We are so grateful to have this refill of supplies for the home stretch of the school year! Thank you so much for supporting us and ensuring we end the year with a bang!
Ink is very needed to make our end of the year portfolios and we have you to thank for ensuring that we can do this!”

WOW! What a difference a printer has made in our class. Having a very digital classroom has been difficult for many of our students as writing ended up in the cloud and they were not able to bring it home or hold it in their hands. They love being able to show off their work.
Many students have chosen to print work and edit their writing. They have been able to add more to their notes by printing diagrams. They have also been able to print short stories and adaptive materials that help the special learners in our room!”

Wow thank you so much for your donation to my classroom! These snacks and goodies will be so well accepted by the wonderful students in my class! They love being able to have a snack before their lunch when their bellies get hungry! I again am so grateful for your support to my wonderful kiddos!!!”

Wow the snacks and tools you provided us with have been so amazing! We loved being able to have a small snack while we worked to get our energy up! Having healthy options has stopped many kids from stopping at the store and grabbing something too sugary! We are learning to make better snack decisions! Having a stylus to use has completely changed the way we use our ipads. we also love having the headphone adaptors to use with our ipads! We can not thank our generous donors enough for what they have provided us with!”

The snacks that were provided to our class kept our bellies full. We were able to work hard and accomplish our learning goals. Our lunch is late in the day so having these snacks was a HUGE treat.
When we left for remote learning in march each child got a bag of snack goodies to take home. The snacks gave students the energy that they needed to get through the day and succeed. They were completely THRILLED to open the boxes and see what had been delivered for them.
We have a few new projects posted that will allow our class to succeed even more! We again are so thankful for your support.”

I want to thank you all for the amazing supplies that you helped supply to my classroom! These supplies were so needed and have been a continued gift to my students. I hope that I can continue to use these supplies for years to come!
My students jumped for joy when they saw the boxes that had arrived. They could not contain their excitement and were excited to dive in. I am so thankful to you all for thinking of my wonderful students.
Coming back to our classroom after 18 months my students have been able to use the supplies you have donated. We are in the process of setting up our next project that will help us with accessories for our ipads!”

Thank you so much for all of your support! I seriously can not thank you enough! My students were able to have supplies that lasted them the rest of the year! because of you they had the confidence to be proud of the work they were completing.
They were blown away by the supplies that they otherwise would not have had access to!
These students are going to continue on to 7th grade with me and are very excited to have supplies to use in the coming year! Without your support my students would still only have minimal supplies and I can not thank you enough!
Seeing them excited to walk in and learn with the tools you have provided them with is unbelievable!”

Wow! Where do I begin! I am so grateful for the generous donations! These supplies have made such a HUGE impact on our learning already. The students love using our headphones during technology. They are able to focus and have already showed an improvement in focusing during independent work time! They love using flexible seating options to sit in new stations around the room. They truly enjoy the ability to use the fidget bands to stay focused and still fidget and kick their bands. My students love all the new supplies in the room and are very grateful for the basics (especially the pencils they seem to disappear fast around here!) Our notebooks are quickly filling up and we love our new school supplies! Thank you again so so so much!”
