  • Self Care

    Funded Mar 5, 2025

    WOW - we had a BLAST unboxing these items this morning!!!! The kids absolutely LOVED everything they were able to take home for hygiene. They even tested out their toothbrushes and toothpaste as well as their deodorant this morning LOL :) We couldn't do this without your support so THANK YOU BEYOND WORDS!

    These items will help make them feel fresh and clean all day long, especially after working hard in their PE classes and with the warmer weather right around the corner, these items came just in time. Thanks Again for the GENEROUS donations to help fully fund this self-care project!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Carson

  • Spread Holiday Cheer

    Funded Dec 11, 2024

    Thank you for making this holiday season THE ABSOLUTE BEST ever!!!!! These kids thoroughly enjoyed the snacks and drinks. We have extra and will do another special day next week to utilize the rest of the treats and hot cocoa. The students couldn't believe the amount of boxes and things that were purchased for them.

    Their excitement was through the roof! I truly cannot express just how thankful we are for your support! Without DonorsChoose, I couldn't provide my class with a tenth of what I am able with your generosity so THANKS again!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Carson

  • Morning Munchies!

    Funded Dec 10, 2024

    Thank you for the donation to our classroom project! We absolutely loved the snacks so much! The kids couldn't wait to open the boxes to see all of the amazing things inside. We couldn't do it without YOU! Thanks again for your support. It means so very much! My students are able to start their day off right and because of this project, they can work hard and not worry about being hungry! That is a huge relief as a teacher so I appreciate it so much. THANKS DonorsChoose for everything that you'd helped us so far.”

  • Read All About It - Wings of Fire Fans

    Funded Nov 13, 2024

    THANK YOU for your generous donation to this book project! I can't even describe the excitement that the kids had when they saw ALL of these new items. The books will be a massive hit and as well as the bookmarks and Pokemon books and puzzles. We will be working on these tomorrow during our party prior to break.

    They will have the opportunity to "check out" a book over break as well! These materials are so awesome! Thanks again for your support in funding this important project. I hope to be part of the reason that my students begin to LOVE reading!!!!”

  • Art Therapy

    Funded Sep 17, 2024

    Thank you so much for helping to fully fund this Art Therapy project. The pacing for fifth grade is beginning to pick up quite a bit and the kids are starting to feel a little overwhelmed with the workload. These projects help to calm the students and help them remain focused for longer periods of time. Breaks that are built in really help my students. They have tried their hardest this entire first nine weeks and I'm so proud of them! They LOVE engaging in these hands on activities that promote improving fine motor skills, following directions, and maintaining focus in order to successfully completing the art projects. I couldn't be more appreciative!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Carson

  • Springtime Sports

    Funded Jul 2, 2024

    My students just LOVE these new sport materials! They have been taking them out to recess and enjoying them during these beautiful days! Some of them will also be great to use when we have indoor recess during the winter months. I'm so thankful that I was able to purchase some new sports equipment because I'd MUCH RATHER see these kids running around and playing sports together than anything technology related.

    THANKS for helping to fully fund this amazing project! It is truly appreciated by me and all of my awesome students!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Carson

I am and have been a learning support teacher for 17 years and I have witnessed the benefit of flexible seating and workstations that will enhance a child's learning. The wobble seat has been popping up in classrooms around our district but I have yet to get my own set. I'm hoping that others will see the benefits that this seat would help create. The students also love sitting on the floor to work and the individual desks would be a fabulous addition as well. Please help make learning more fun and appropriate for my students with attention and academic disabilities. Much thanks and gratitude!
