Printing for Publishing
Funded Dec 9, 2017I would like to thank you for your very generous and selfless donations towards our new laser printer and high yield toner. These donations have positively affected the lives of my diverse group of students. It has helped to bridge the gap between the technology in our school and the lack of technology in many of my students' homes. With this printer, they are now able to complete projects and papers and take pride in their creation. They are more eager to create charts and graphs and illustrations to enhance their written work. I see my students taking so much pride in their work now, and I see their self-esteem grow when they see their work on display in our classroom.
My students are now able to print dynamic brochures, poetry books, essays, and more about books they are reading and topics we are discussing in class. My students are more eager to work independently to create projects to print out in the classroom to showcase their learning experience. They do not consider their work a chore when they can be creative and see their ideas come to fruition. I see the excitement growing in my students as to how they can create new ways to illustrate their learning experience.
Many of my students do not have access to printers, nor some even computers, at home. Being able to use the classroom printer has opened up a whole new world of creating and learning for them. I can't begin to thank you enough for how much your generosity has impacted my students' lives. They are now gaining the confidence to extend outside their comfort zones and explore the unknown. Once again, I wish to thank you. And my students want to thank you from their hearts to yours. We want you to know that you made an impact in our classroom and an imprint on our hearts! We truly appreciate your generosity in making this possible.”

Funded Dec 22, 2017Thank you for your generous and selfless donations. These donations have positively affected the lives of my diverse group of students. It has helped to bridge the gap between the technology in our school and the lack of technology in many of my students' homes. The Lenovo laptop has become an indispensable tool that is helping to create more authentic learning experiences in our classroom, as well as build 21st century skills that our children need in order to be successful in this quickly evolving technological world.
My students are now able create dynamic presentations about books they are reading and topics we are discussing in class. They can work independently, as well as in groups, with the Lenovo laptop. They have the ability to access up-to-date information; write essays, read books, engage in interactive lessons and so much more. A whole new world of learning has opened up for them. As they create both independent and collaborative projects, I am able to monitor their progress in their understanding of each new concept. Most importantly, the Lenovo laptop is helping me to prepare them for an increasingly digital workforce. Computer literacy is an integral component of every student's learning plan. This laptop bridges that gap that was holding these otherwise bright students back.

An Apple Today Will Enable Their Way!
Funded Mar 30, 2017Thank you for your generous and selfless donations. Your donations have positively affected the lives of my students across many cultures, ethnicity's and backgrounds. It has helped to bridge the gap between our English speaking classroom and the diverse languages that some of my students came into my classroom speaking. These pad's have become indispensable tools that are helping create more authentic learning experiences in the classroom, as well as build 21st century skills that our children need in order to be successful in our quickly evolving technological world.
My students are able to work in centers with the pad's, writing, reading, learning phonemic awareness skills, and so much more. A whole new world of learning has opened up for them. As they create both independent and collaborative projects, I am able to monitor their progress in understanding each new concept. Most importantly, I am able to reach those students who speak little or no English. With all the bilingual apps that can be used today, I am better able to communicate with both students and parents, and bridge that gap that was holding these otherwise bright students back.
I can't begin to thank you enough for how much your generosity has impacted my students' lives. They now have the confidence to extend outside their comfort zones and explore the unknown. Once again, I wish to thank you. And my students want to thank you. Gracias, Je vous remercie and شكرا from their hearts to yours.”

Funded Jun 29, 2016I would like to tell you how your very generous donation towards our new printer has impacted my students, and our class in general. Many of my students do not have this technology at home to facilitate their classroom learning. With this printer, they are now able to complete projects and papers and take pride in their creation. They are more eager to create charts and graphs and illustrations to enhance their written work. I see my students taking so much pride in their work now, and I see their self esteem grow when they see their work on display in our classroom.

They do not consider their work a chore when they can be creative and see their ideas come to fruition.

Many of my students do not have access to printers, nor some even computers, at home. Being able to use the classroom printer has opened up a whole new world of creating and learning for them. Without selfless donors like yourself, many of these students would not have the enriched environment we now have. We truly appreciate your generosity in making this possible.”
