  • Rewarding Students

    Funded Sep 18, 2024

    Thank you so much for choosing to donate to this gift card project! My students and I so greatly appreciate your kindness and generosity. They are thrilled to have the opportunity to earn these gift cards!

    Since receiving the gift cards, I have seen Google Meet class attendance improve. In addition, more of my kiddos are striving to complete their weekly course work on time. This is helping to keep them accountable for their own learning. My kiddos look forward to Mondays, when I announce the students that earned a gift card for the previous week.

    Your help has made a huge impact. My students are learning, and I couldn't be happier. Thank you for making all of this possible.”

  • Check the Mail!

    Funded Sep 18, 2024

    Thank you for making this project come to life. My students and I are so delighted to have these supplies! We deeply appreciate your kind support!

    On Mondays, I announce who has earned a gift card from the previous week's work. Then those students get to pick the gift card reward they would like. I mail it to them with some words of praise and encouragement. They love getting them in mail! These supplies have allowed me to keep mailing them out and changing up the note cards that I send out! Thank you again for making it possible!”

    Funded Aug 15, 2024

    A very special THANK YOU to the Gates Foundation for matching donations to this much needed supply project. Another special Thank You to Lisa Douglas, who is always supporting my super students!

    My kiddos LOVE receiving notes in the mail! These stickers really dress them up for all seasons and occasions! I can't tell you how wonderful it is to have this supply of copy paper! I am always printing testing reports, attendance reports, and various other resources. The pens make it possible for me to keep accurate track of all apps!

  • Hard Work Equals Reward

    Funded May 6, 2024

    Thank you for donating to this gift card project! My students and I greatly appreciate your kindness and support. They are so excited to have these gift cards available to earn!

    I have noticed a difference in many of my kiddos. They are spending more time working on assignments and coming to office hours to ask for help more when they don't understand. This is because of you! The gift cards are really motivating my students to work hard and put forth maximum effort.

    I deeply appreciate the support you have given. My students are learning and I couldn't be happier with the result. Thank you again for making a difference in my students' lives!”

  • Dream Big!

    Funded May 6, 2024

    Thank you for bringing this project to life with your kind and generous donations! My students were absolutely thrilled to receive these Life Survival bags!

    Your help allowed me to end the year with a special gift for each of my students. I wish you could have seen their bright, happy smiles when they picked them up. Later on, I received several messages from students telling me how special this gift made them feel. They especially loved the Pop Rocks and Laffy Taffy!

    I deeply appreciate your support on this year-ending project. Thank you for helping me make all of my spectacular students feel special and loved.”

  • Velentine's Day Fun

    Funded Feb 1, 2024

    Thank you so much for your support on this Valentine's project! You helped make my students feel loved and appreciated!

    With your help, each of my super students received a gift bag full of amazing items! They were so excited for the Valentine's Day puzzles book! These were right on target and gave them plenty of puzzles to do alone or with siblings and parents. The heart pens were also a huge hit and they enjoyed showing them to each other during Zoom class.

    Your donation meant the world to us! Thank you for believing in my students and making them special at home!”

  • Digital BreakoutEDU

    Funded Jan 18, 2024

    Thank you so much for your kind and generous donation to this project! My class and I are thrilled to have access to these online critical thinking games!

    Every Friday, I select a BreakoutEDU game to work on with my students. They absolutely love working together to solve the puzzles. It is wonderful time spent sharing ideas and working through the locks. Because I can share the games out through Google Classroom, some of my kiddos even play the games over with their siblings!

    We are so grateful to have wonderful donors like you on our side. Thank you for enriching my students' lives!”
