Funded Oct 11, 2022I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation of a printer and paper to our classroom. Your contribution has been a game-changer for both our teaching and learning processes, providing tools that make everyday tasks so much more efficient and impactful.
The addition of the printer has allowed us to create high-quality learning materials, handouts, and visual aids that enhance student engagement and understanding.

Equally important is the paper you provided, which ensures we can consistently support our students with tangible resources. Whether printing classroom activities, communication for families, or student-created work, your gift has enabled us to meet the needs of our learners more effectively.
Your generosity has not only lightened the workload for teachers but also enriched the educational experience for our students. It's amazing how something as fundamental as having a printer and paper can create such a ripple effect in fostering creativity, collaboration, and academic growth.
Thank you for believing in the importance of education and for supporting our mission to provide the best for our students. We are truly grateful for your kindness and the lasting impact it has made in our classroom.”

Funded Sep 7, 2021I am writing to express our sincere gratitude for your generous donation of chart paper to our classroom. Your support has provided us with a valuable resource that has made a significant impact on both teaching and learning.
The chart paper has become an integral part of our daily lessons, allowing us to create visual aids, anchor charts, and collaborative projects that engage students in meaningful ways. It has helped bring lessons to life, making complex concepts easier to understand and retaining their attention during group activities.
Beyond academics, the chart paper has given our students opportunities to express their creativity and work together on projects that foster teamwork and communication. Whether brainstorming ideas, illustrating key points, or displaying their achievements, the students take pride in the visuals we create as a class.
Your thoughtful contribution has not only enriched our classroom but also inspired our students to actively participate and take ownership of their learning. We are incredibly grateful for your generosity and the positive difference it has made.
Thank you once again for supporting our efforts to provide a dynamic and engaging learning environment. Your kindness means the world to us and our students.”

Funded Jul 16, 2020Thanks to your kindness, our classroom has been transformed into a space where a love for reading flourishes. The books you provided have opened a world of imagination, exploration, and learning for our students. Every day, I see the excitement in their eyes as they choose new stories to dive into, discover characters they adore, and expand their knowledge through engaging content.
These books have had a profound impact, sparking curiosity and encouraging a deeper connection to reading. Students who were once reluctant to pick up a book are now eagerly participating in silent reading time and sharing their discoveries with peers. The joy and confidence they gain through this experience are truly priceless.
Your contribution has gone far beyond filling our shelves—it has planted seeds of curiosity and creativity that will grow for years to come. It is through the generosity of supporters like you that we can inspire a lifelong love of learning and reading in our children”

Funded May 21, 2020Thank you so much for all your donations. It was amazing to see my students during virtual teaching use all the PE equipment. The impact that you had made to my students was priceless. You had made a huge impact to their health and well-being.
Students were able to take the equipment home. At home they were able to practice their gross motor skills and improve their hand and eye coordination with the handball. They used their jump ropes at home to increase their aerobic capacity.
Once again thank you so much for your generous donation and making an impact in our classroom.”

Funded Jan 1, 2019The kids and I are so thankful for the copy paper and the chart paper that you donated. We were so excited to see the packages. When the kids saw the big post-it chart paper and saw that that I didn't have to use tape or magnets they were so amazed. One of my kids said that it was perfect because our charts wouldn't be falling down anymore. Another student couldn't believe that they made giant post-its.
We had so many uses for the paper. We have made copies for their homework to reinforce the language arts and math concepts taught in class and to supplement our lessons in science and social studies. The kids have used the white copy paper to create their American Symbols book as well to write about Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.
Thanks again for all the paper and the charts. You have truly made a difference and an impact in our classroom.”

Super Soccer Kids Building Teamwork!
Funded Mar 12, 2017Thank you so much for your contributions. It has really made and impact on my physical education program. The kids are really excited and are participating during our soccer skills routines.
As a teacher I'm really grateful for your generosity. The lack of funds usually cuts our physical education program. It is because of you that my students are able to continue to work on their psychomotor and coordination skills as well as their self esteem and motivation.
Once again thank you for generosity and having the kids best interest at heart.”

Funded Dec 20, 2016Thank you so much for making and impact in our classroom. You might think that a simple pencil sharper doesn't make an impact but it does. Having sharpen pencils is a great way to start a new day and necessary during writing. My students were so excited that finally they were going to be able to have sharpen pencils every single day. As a teacher I'm so thankful to having one. Any teacher would attest that having one is part of having great classroom management. Having one has allowed for a smooth transition no longer do my students need to wait for someone else to let them borrow a sharpen pencil. They now know that they go to pencil basket and trade their dull pencils for a sharpen one. Once again thank you so much.”

Listening Matters
Funded Mar 9, 2016Thank you so much for the audio books and the CD players. The children really enjoy listening and reading along to the stories everyday. The impact that this gift has made to their literacy skills is immeasurable. You have given them an opportunity for them to hear their favorite books read aloud again and again. The more they listen, the greater the likelihood that they will learn new vocabulary words and their love for books grows.
It's is truly a pleasure to see my students wanting to listen to the books and listening to them talk about the books to other students. As a matter a fact a few days ago one of my students told another student that the Carrot Seed (one of the books in audio library) was their favorite book and that he wanted to check out so he could read to his mom. It was really touching to see how books impact the daily lives of my students and their families.
Once again thank you so much for making an impact in my students lives.”
