Take Care
Funded Nov 28, 2023Thank 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.”

Funded Nov 16, 2023Thank 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!”

Funded Jul 5, 2023Thank 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!”

The Color of Me
Funded Nov 29, 2022Thank 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!”

Funded Dec 9, 2022Thank 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.”
