Funded Jan 25, 2025Thank you so much for helping to make this project happen! My students are so excited to get to play the mancala game throughout the school day!

Board Game Bonanza 1!
Funded May 5, 2024Thank you so much for your wonderful donation to our school. I could not believe that shortly after I posted our request, we received notification of our funding. All of the items came just in time to use during our "Take Your Father To School Day."
Our students and parents had a chance to build relationships while playing board games with their fathers and teachers at the school. It was a delight to watch their faces light up as they transitioned from game to game within the classroom.
Not only did we use your donation for this day, but we are also able to use all of the board games on a daily basis during inside recess! Thank you!!!”

Snack Attack!
Funded May 10, 2023Thank you so much for your donation to my project! My students love to be rewarded for hard work, good behavior, and just doing their best on a daily basis. Your donation of snacks, chips, cookies, and candy were enjoyed by many of the students at our school. By far, the favorite choices were Oreos and Pringles. It was nice to offer incentives for students to enjoy while they were completing their work and working in small groups with one another. You have made it possible to provide them with resources that I could not have afforded on my own. Thank you!”

This classroom project was brought to life by SONIC Foundation and one other donor.Radical Recess!
Funded Aug 2, 2023Your donation has helped us have an extremely successful start to the school year. All of the classes in our school benefitted in some way from your generosity! We shared the recess materials at lunch/recess times in all grades K-5. The students loved using all of the sports balls to play games with one another. This has helped us to work on taking turns and using kindness with one another. The younger kids liked playing hopscotch and blowing bubbles. The smiles on their faces were priceless! We even created a schoolyard 4-square competition that both the students and teachers enjoy daily! Thank you so much for your support!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Audrey Hillman Fisher Foundation and 3 other donors.Project Projector!
Funded Mar 17, 2023Thank you so much for helping to fund this project! We have had the opportunity to use our handheld projector on many occasions. When the electricity went out during the school day we were still able to use the projector to help show math examples because of the battery backup. The students enjoyed sitting in the dark while using the light of the projected screen to work. When we work in small groups, the students love being able to show their work using the projector. It has increased the amount of student engagement in all of my classes. Thank you for your generous gift!”

No Taki When Teacher Taki!
Funded Feb 14, 2023Your donation was the talk "i" of the school! All of the students could not wait to use their points at the school store. We also had prizes for our behavior incentive. Our focus was being respectful, responsible, and safe throughout the school day. We used the Talki snacks to help remind students not to talk when the teacher is talking. They definitely liked learning the rules this way. Without donors like you we would not have been able to have a bit of fun while learning how to be kind to one another in our school community.
Thank you so much!”

Fidget Fever 2!
Funded Dec 21, 2022Thank you for your generous donation! The students can't wait to purchase all of the items we received from the school store at the end of this month. They couldn't contain themselves as I opened the boxes in front of them. They couldn't believe how cool the prizes were and hoped to earn enough points to purchase them. With your help, we are able to give all of the students in our school something to work for. These items definitely help to improve kindness and behavior at our school. I appreciate you helping to make this endeavor possible.”

Indoor Recess Blues!
Funded Jan 5, 2023My students were super excited to get the brand new recess items they had hoped for! Other students in the school noticed all of our really cool stuff and of course we shared the games and crafts with them. My room is now the place to be during recess. The students had so much fun making little bracelets and taking turns playing all of the board games together. It has helped them to work on getting along and completing activities together while having fun. Your donation has made a big impact on our day. Now the students are happy with indoor recess!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Audrey Hillman Fisher Foundation and 3 other donors.Fidget Fever!
Funded Nov 30, 2022My students jumped for joy when they saw all of the awesome prizes they will be able to earn in the coming months. We talked about how we can show exemplary behaviors and attitudes to earn points for our goals. We will be adding all of the prizes and fidgets to the school and classroom store and prize box for students to earn and purchase with their good behavior points. The items that you purchased were specifically asked for by my students! I have already noticed students using more positive behavior and being kind to one another. Thanks for helping with a little additional incentive!”

Bulletin Board Bonanza!
Funded Jul 28, 2022You have made such a tremendous impact on the start of my school year! These materials are really expensive for me to purchase on my own. Because of your donation, I was able to get coordinating materials that provide a calming and pleasant atmosphere for students and staff. The impact will last many years, as these things can be reused every school year. The students were so excited to enter the science room this year to find brightly colored bulletin boards. It has helped them to use the walls as resources during their science lessons. Thank you so much for helping us to learn!”
