  Funded Mar 27, 2018

  Thank you so much for your generous donation! When our box of snacks arrived everyone was so excited. They all gathered around to help open the box and their faces were priceless when they saw what was inside. As we continued to take the boxes of snacks out the children were overjoyed. Every day we have enjoyed snacks that were sent from you ! We have a long period in the morning before lunch and some students come to school without anything to eat. These snacks have helped fill the stomachs of the children in our class and help them to stay focused! Thank you so much!”

• Group Carpet for Cooperative Learning

  Funded Jan 1, 2018

  Thank you so much for your generosity! We were in great need of a new carpet and the addition of the new carpet is amazing. Every child now has their own area to sit in and feels included in our daily routines and activities. The children were extremely excited when the carpet arrived in the classroom. They could not wait for me to unroll it and put it down. Since that day we use the carpet daily and it has made such a difference in our classroom. Your donations have been greatly appreciated!”

• Teaching With Technology!

  Funded Mar 25, 2017

  Thank you so much for contributing to our technology project. The children were thoroughly excited to get their new learning tools. We have used both the letter and number sets to complete many interactive learning activities. My students are thrilled to be able to experience learning in yet another way. Each morning the children get a turn to use letters and numbers to interact with games provided through the apps at the beginning of the day. They are able to rotate daily ensuring that every child will get a turn with their new materials. We are so grateful for your generosity and can not thank you enough!”

  I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your generous donations. Our new easel has become the focus of many of our lessons. We begin our mornings by reading the morning message that is written on the dry erase portion. The big book stand and tray have helped us to see our books at an appropriate level and the storage behind the easel is now home to dry erase boards and markers that the children use daily as well as many other things. We can not express our gratitude for your kindness enough!”

• Special Education Students Need Supplies

  Funded Jan 1, 2017

  Thank you so much for your donations to my class. My students are extremely grateful for their new materials. My students are now able to write using correct pencil grip by using the grippers. My students that have difficulty sitting still are now able to focus using marble mazes for fidget objects.

  My students were so excited to be able to use the different pencil grips to see which one fit their needs. They are now excited to write instead of being frustrated. The adaptive scissors have also been a great addition for the children that were having difficulty cutting. All students have benefited from the books that we received.

  We can not thank you enough for your generosity!”

  I would like to take this opportunity to thank you so much for you generosity. My students visit the reading corner every day and they have really enjoyed being able to find their books in the new sorted bins. They also enjoy using the rugs to read on in other areas. The leaf canopies add a great touch!
