Funded Jul 27, 2021Thank you, again, for choosing this project to support. I am so grateful to have these materials for my students.
These checkbooks are truly amazing. I am able to teach my kiddos all about writing checks and keep up the register. These checkbooks come with a cover, so they are very durable. My students are having a great time earning class cash and deciding on how much to spend and how much to save. They are loving these life lessons and are thrilled to be treated like young adults.
Your help has made a tremendous impact in my classroom. I deeply appreciate your help. Thank you for helping me make a difference in these young lives.”

Funded Aug 2, 2021Thank you for your kind and generous support of my classroom. I am so grateful that this project for new chairs was fully funded.
My super sixth grade students absolutely LOVE the new chairs! They say that they are the most comfortable chairs ever! Students take turns sitting in our newest editions. They are comfortable and better able to focus on the task at hand!
I deeply appreciate your donations. You have made a tremendous impact in my classroom and I really can not thank you enough. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!”

Funded Aug 26, 2021Thank you again, for your kind and generous support of this fun project. My students absolutely LOVED these puzzles.
My kiddos were just thrilled with these amazing markers. They said that they are the best markers ever because of the two different sides/tips. The vibrant colors really made their puzzle pieces pop. I don't know if they had more fun coloring or assembling them!
I am so very grateful to you. This project was so motivating and engaging for my students. They were all very happy and thankful when I told them that they could keep the markers!”

Funded Jun 10, 2021Thank you so much for your contribution to this incredible project! My summer school sixth graders had an amazing month because of you!
The dual tip markers were a huge hit! Some of my kiddos said they were the best markers ever and were shocked when I told them that they were theirs to keep. They kept thanking me over and over and I told them that you, someone they have never met, was actually the one most responsible. They wanted me to make sure that thanked you, personally, Laura Edwards! :)
The 3D puzzles had my students very busy and intrigued. They color and assemble to most amazing things! The biggest hit, by far, were the STEM kits. I knew they would like them, but that was the understatement of the year! They LOVED putting these solar and battery powered vehicles together! We even had a race to see which was faster!
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for what you did for my scholars. This was definitely a great way to start back in the school building. I am so very grateful!”

Funded Jun 2, 2021This was such a fantastic summer! Thank you for making it possible to make this month of school recovery possible!
My sixth graders had a wonderful experience during the month of June, thanks to your generous support. They LOVED making Shrinky Dink key chains. This was by far the biggest hit. I wish you could have seen them building and painting the bird houses! Finally, the thought the markers were the best ever! They thoroughly enjoyed coloring and assembling the 3D puzzles!
I am so grateful to you! Thank you for choosing this project to support. My kiddos and I deeply appreciate what you did for us!”

Funded May 20, 2021Thank you again for funding this project. It meant so much to me and my super sixth grade students.
As the year came to an end, I was so grateful to have these gift cards to raffle off. My students had been cutting Zoom classes frequently, but as word spread about this funded project, I saw the attendance soar. Students were turning in more complete assignments more regularly as well. Some even started coming to office hours for help and make up work!
I am so grateful for your help. Thank you for making a difference in my students' lives. You are appreciated!”

Funded Apr 13, 2021Thank you so much for funding this project! My students and I were thrilled to receive these gift cards!

Your kindness encouraged my students to attend Zoom classes regularly. Hence, they were present for my lessons and learned more. I am so very grateful for your support. Thank you for making this possible.”

Funded May 18, 2021This was such an awesome project! I can' thank you enough for fully funding it and giving me these incredible books to use during summer school and beyond.
My students absolutely loved the book, just as much as I do. They really enjoyed having their own copy to look at all of the amazing drawings. We were able to have rich discussions about the story and my students made connections to their own lives. We followed it up by watching the movie and doing compare/contrast activities. A teacher friend then borrowed the books to do the same thing with her class during the second summer school session!
Thank you for this wonderful gift! I am so very grateful for your kindness and generosity.”

Funded May 28, 2021Thank you so much for making this project come to life. I am so grateful for your kind support.
Because of your help, I was able to mail survival packages to all of my students. I even had enough to give to my 10 summer school students as well. They all LOVED them and I heard how special it made them feel. Some said that they hung the letter on their wall or bulletin board. When asked, the majority of students said that the Pop Rocks (because you rock) was their favorite item.
You have made it possible for my students to feel loved and special. Thank you again, from the bottom of my happy heart, for donating to this project.”

Funded Feb 19, 2021This project has made a huge impact during distance learning and I am so grateful for your support! Thank you for sharing in my vision and choosing this project to donate to.
My sixth graders are working harder and attendance is on the rise since I shared these items that were funded. They LOVE the Mad Libs and all the Minecraft things are big hits! In addition, they are enjoying the card games at home with their families!
I am sending these items to random students during our Friday Mystery Bag drawings, They earn entries based on attendance, assignment completion, and bonus entries for various class participation opportunities. My kiddos love seeing their names on the wheel! Even better, they are always eager to share what was in their mystery bag once they receive it in the mail! This is so powerful, as it keeps other students motivated to earn their entries for the following week!
Thank you again, for contributing to this project. I deeply appreciate your kindness and generosity.”
