• Paying it Forward

  Funded Apr 1, 2025

  Thank you for your generous contribution. Thanks to these materials, I’ll be able to have clothing giveaways on a regular basis as well as start a “care” closet for students to have access to clothing. This has been an eye opening experience as I didn’t realize there was such a need. Thank you for supporting my school’s students”

• Go With The Flow

  Funded Mar 28, 2025

  Thank you for contributing to my project and allowing me the opportunity to provide students with essential items plus some extra non-essential but "feel good" items. It is a relief to be able to help students in need but I could not do this on my own. It takes a village and I thank you for being part of mine.”

• Feeding Physical and Emotional Needs

  Funded Feb 5, 2025

  Thank you for supporting this project. My students love to get rewarded and celebrated or given treats "just because." Thanks to your donations of the gift cards, I was able to purchase popular snacks and drinks for students a a great price. Some of the other items from this project were used to create treat bags for students to have on Valentine's Day. I teach at the high school level and sometimes I feel that students aren't celebrated enough. I appreciate you allowing me to bring some joy to students.”

• You Shine Bright!

  Funded Mar 9, 2025

  Thank you for your generous donation and for making this student celebration possible. It is important for students to know that others believe in them and their potential. I truly believe these types of recognition help motivate them and give them the confidence to work harder. It takes a village.”

• Panther Celebration

  Funded Jan 16, 2025

  Thank you so much for contributing to this very special project. It is always fun to celebrate and recognize students for their efforts and accomplishments. Students loved the food- we had pasta, sandwiches, rolls, and salad as well as water and cookies. Their names were written on paws (for our mascot) and displayed on the wall as decor. Each student also received a certificate and a button/pin, for bragging rights ; ) Each award recipient took a picture with the staff member that nominated and received a printed copy for themselves. High school students, in my opinion, don't get celebrated enough, or as much as the lower levels, so this is a nice opportunity to remind them that they are "seen" and valued.”

• Celebration Time!

  Funded Feb 11, 2025

  I'm so grateful for your generosity. It's nice to be able to celebrate and acknowledge students' efforts and food is one of the best rewards and incentives. Students truly feel valued when they feel "seen" and celebrated and thanks to you, we will able to do this once again. Thank you!”

• The Gift of Gratitude and Reading for Joy

  Funded Oct 31, 2024

  Thank you for your generous contribution towards this project. Thanks to you, I was able to provide guided gratitude journals to my students as part of their Christmas gift, along with other snacks from this project, to have at home to continue practicing gratitude and mindfulness outside of the classroom. We have been practicing journaling and they have expressed that they enjoy it and that it has helped their mental health. The books that were purchased are popular among students and are a nice addition to have for students who like to read for pleasure.”
