  • Take Care

    Funded Nov 28, 2023

    Thank you so much for funding our project for warm gloves and healthy snacks. The weather in Chicago gets very cold and many of my students would come to school with no gloves. Your generosity allowed me to provide them with warm gloves . They were very thankful to get them and were very proud to show them off. The healthy snacks were also a big hit with my students. They enjoyed having a popcorn break or a fruit snack treat to help get them through their day. I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness and concern for my students' wellbeing. Thank you once again for your generosity.”

  • Have Mercy

    Funded Nov 16, 2023

    Thank you so much for funding our project for Mercy Watson to the Rescue books. My students were so excited when they got their books and learned that they were going to be taking them home to keep and share with their families. Mercy, the pig, has quickly become a favorite character because of all of her silly adventures. One of my goals is to instill in my students a love of reading. I do my best to provide my students with books they will love. Your generosity has helped me to do this. My students and I truly appreciate you caring enough to make a difference in their education. Again, thank you!”

  • Reading Is Magic

    Funded Oct 11, 2023

    Thank you so much for funding our project for Magic Tree House: Dinosaurs Before Dark books. We have been reading the Magic Tree House series each day before lunch and my students and I fell like it's the best part of our day. My students were so excited when I gave them their books and could not wait to bring them home to share with their families. I absolutely love to see my students getting excited about books and about reading. Your generosity has had a positive impact on the education of my students. My students and I greatly appreciate it!”

  • Supplies Needed

    Funded Jul 5, 2023

    Thank you so much for funding our project for basic school supplies like glue sticks, crayons, and colored pencils. These supplies have already been put to good use. Many students start the school year without the supplies they need to be successful. This also has a negative effect on their self-esteem. With your generosity, my students all had the supplies they needed to get the school year off to a great start! Your donation has truly had a positive impact on the education of my students. My students and I greatly appreciate it!”

  • I'm a Good Egg!

    Funded Mar 30, 2023

    Thank you so much for funding our project for these wonderful books that have taught us about making good choices and how to take care of ourselves. My students love these books! Their favorites are The Bad Seed, The Good Egg, and The Smart Cookie. The books present the lessons in a humorous way that really engages the students in the lesson. They quickly became favorites in our classroom library. Your generosity has had a positive impact on the education of my students. For this, I am truly grateful.”

  • Have Mercy 2

    Funded Mar 9, 2023

    Thank you so much for funding our project for Mercy Watson Goes for a Ride books. My students were so excited to get the last of the Mercy Watson books from the series. They now each have the full set that they were able to bring home and to keep as their very own. They have loved being able to grow their at home libraries and being able to share these books with their families. These books have helped to encourage my students to read and have helped to establish a love a reading with my students. Thank you again for your generous donation. My students and I greatly appreciate it.”

  • Mercy Watson 3

    Funded Dec 30, 2022

    Thank you so much for funding our project for Mercy Watson Fights Crime books. My students were so excited to get another book from the Mercy Watson series. When they got their books and were given time to read, the room was absolutely silent because they were so engrossed in the book! These books get sent home with the students so that they can add them to their at-home libraries. They love to tell me about how they have set up libraries in their bedrooms. Your generosity has had a positive influence on the education of my students and for that I am truly grateful!”

  • The Color of Me

    Funded Nov 29, 2022

    Thank you so much for funding my project for diverse crayons and sketch pads. This is one of my students' all-time favorite projects. They were so excited to hear the story of the third-grade girl who came up with the idea for these materials. They absolutely loved getting to draw themselves as their first project and they very carefully chose which color they wanted to use for their skin color. The self-portraits turned out great! They show great pride in the pictures they create using these very special materials. Thank you for bringing so much joy to our classroom. My students and I greatly appreciate it!”

  • Supplies Needed

    Funded Dec 9, 2022

    Thank you so much for funding our project for much needed supplies. The crayons and glue sticks that we received have gotten a lot of use. It is amazing how many glue sticks we go through in a week while doing our daily work and art projects. The Post-It Chart Paper has been used daily for our reading anchor charts during our minilessons. These charts help the students to focus on the key details of each lesson. My students absolutely love the colored pencils and are always excited to use them. Once again, thank you for your generosity. My students and I greatly appreciate it.”
