Thank you for helping to fund our project for the nets. The team has enjoyed using the nets during our practices and they have helped the players with their hitting accuracy. Since adding these nets, our practices have been more productive, we have been able to run more drills and have more hitting stations than before.
A major benefit of adding these nets to our equipment has been that we can now use the golf wiffle balls during our practices and with the net we no longer waste time chasing balls or losing balls.
Thank you once again for your support to our program, the players and I are very grateful.”

Thank you for helping to fund our project. The team has been working hard and the improvement has been dramatic. Using the golf balls has helped the players improve their hand eye coordination. Our practices are more engaging and productive now that we have added the golf balls and the weight balls.
The spring season for us looks more promising now that we have this additional equipment for us to use. We still have a few months to work hard to make this next season a winning season. The players, coaches and I appreciate your generosity and we will work hard to make you proud.”

Thank you for helping our team with your donation. The players have gotten a lot of use out of the nets and we are beginning to see huge improvements. With the new nets we have been able to take them with us before games and we are able to warm up and be ready for the games.
When I told the players were getting these nets they couldn't wait for them to arrive so we could start using them as part of our drills and warm ups. The team has gained a lot of confidence with their hitting since using the nets and we know that this will help us a lot for next year's season as well.”

Thank you for the wonderful surprise of funding our project to add baseballs for our team. We go through so many baseballs during our practices with all of the drills and stations that we have.
With the additional Rawlings baseballs, we have been able to maximize our practice time and practices because we don't run out of baseballs. The players have gotten more practice time than ever before and we are no longer tied to just the 2 buckets of ball that we had before.
The players have been much more focused on their practices because there is no more wait time and this will certainly help our team be successful.”

Thank you for donating to our team. The players were very excited to hear the news and we are thrilled to be able to use our new GoPro HERO camera to enhance our games and practices. The game of baseball is evolving and the use of technology is now factor that we can use to our advantage.
With the GoPro HERO camera, we are able to record our baseball games and go over them in detail and analyze our pitches as well as the opposing teams' pitches. Our players have had the opportunity to look at their approach to various pitches and they are now making the necessary adjustments to their approach.
Thank you so much for giving us this extra boost to making our teams more successful.”

Thank you for your donation and for helping our team. We have been taking full advantage of our new Sony Handycam. Last week at practice we used it to record our practices and our pitchers were able to see what mistakes they were making and how they can be costly mistakes.
By showing our pitchers the videos, they were able to see how they need to make adjustments to how they set up their pitches. We have 2 games this week and now that they have this information I am confident that they will make the changes necessary to help them.
The players were so appreciative of this addition of technology to our team. This is and extension to our practices that we were not expecting but have been pleasantly surprised with. Thank you for helping to improve our team!”

Thank you for helping us by funding our project to get new toner for our printer. We have been able to print in color now and that has made our reports much easier to understand.
Each player keeps a log of their stats and their batting information. They study it and look to see where improvements are needed. We used to use highlighters to analyze our data and that took time to do. But now with our color copies we do not have to waste valuable practice time devoting it to highlighting. The players are able to take their data and quickly see their stats.
Thank you once again for your donation and for helping us improve our team.”

Thank you so much for helping my students this year. With you donation I have been able to keep my classroom clean and sanitized with the Lysol wipes. We are now able to make sure all of our surfaces like tables, door knobs, light switches and supplies are clean and disinfected.
We have had a rough year with students becoming sick with covid and flu so the tissues have been a huge help. Thank you for making sure that my students are as safe as possible.
With the markers we have been able to add color to our class anchor charts and writing. My students have loved using the vibrant colors to analyze their reading passages. Again, thank you for your generosity and commitment to public education.”

Thank you so much for your generosity. Having the Cricut available for us has been such a neat thing! With the addition of the Cricut machine we can now add embellished bulletin board letters to our boards. We have added so much creativity to our classroom with it.
With the help of the Cricut I have been able to make vinyl letters for my students supply boxes and water bottles. We are currently working on a design for our class shirts for this year and I can't wait to see how cute they are going to turn out. Thank you so much again!”

Thank you for donating to my project for the toner for our printer. This year has been especially challenging for all of us and it didn't help that along with a pandemic we also dealt with budget cuts.
The toner has allowed me to continue printing out resources for my students to use in class and at home. They now have decodable readers, phonics review materials and math resources that have been so helpful to them.
My students have also been able to print their assignments on our printer and they have enjoyed writing their short stories to share with their friends and family.
My school is a Title I school in an urban school district. Despite having a large population of at-risk and minority students, our school consistently performs very well on state and national exams. The middle school that is on our campus and that consists of a large portion of our elementary students has even gone to be recognized as a National Blue Ribbon school. Our students perform well because we maintain high standards of excellence and we expect them to be successful. Our students' parents support our school, our teachers, and our administrators, and this is why our school has been so consistently successful.
