• Basic Teaching Supplies for English Language Classroom

  Funded Aug 15, 2024

  I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your generous contributions, which have equipped our classroom with essential supplies. With your support, I was able to purchase paper, card stock, printer ink, pencils, markers, crayons, tissues, and more.

  The printer ink has been especially valuable, allowing me to create vibrant educational materials like our help wall, alphabet chart, and student vocabulary cards. The students are already putting the crayons and markers to great use, enhancing their creativity in projects and assignments.

  I feel incredibly prepared with all the stationery supplies we now have, which has greatly enriched our learning environment. Thank you for your kindness and support!”

• Diverse & Worldly English Language Classroom Theme Decor

  Funded Aug 20, 2024

  I am incredibly grateful for your generous donations that allowed us to create a beautiful and welcoming themed classroom reflective of our students' diversity. With your support, I was able to purchase themed bulletin board paper, borders, calming corner signs, artwork frames, a calendar, and goody bag items for student birthdays.

  The calming decor, featuring soothing colors, soft textures, and gentle lighting, has transformed our space into a tranquil atmosphere, helping to reduce anxiety and stress among the students. Additionally, the adventure-themed elements—maps, travel posters, and nature scenes—have sparked curiosity and fostered a love for exploration.

  Thanks to these materials, my learning space has quickly become a space that my students are eager to come to and work in. I could not have created such a space without the support of my amazing donors.

  Thank you for making such a meaningful impact on our classroom environment!”

• Clean and Comfortable Classroom

  Funded Aug 25, 2024

  I want to express my sincere gratitude for your generous contributions toward creating a clean and safe classroom environment. Thanks to your support, we were able to purchase essential cleaning supplies, including wipes, spray, a vacuum, a Swiffer, hand sanitizer, and even peppermint oil to keep pesky rodents at bay.

  The Wall Mount Garden Tool Organizer has been a game changer, keeping our cleaning tools off the floor and neatly stored away. Your donations help prevent the spread of kindergarten germs, ensuring our students can learn in a healthy space.

  Additionally, the candle warmer lamps fill our room with a warm, inviting scent that makes our learners excited to work in this space.

• A Few Useful Things

  Funded Aug 23, 2024

  I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your generous contributions to our classroom. With your support, we were able to purchase a storage cabinet, a bookcase, a camera, scissors, and batteries, all of which have become invaluable learning tools for our students.

  The camera has quickly become the favorite item! We used it to create a bulletin board showcasing our students' work, and it played a vital role in a school tour project. My English learners took photos of various rooms, allowing them to practice common words and phrases while creating a map of our school.

  The storage cabinet has been essential for organizing our supplies, both inside and on top, while the bookcase proudly houses our bilingual books, fostering a love for reading.

  Thank you once again for your generosity and support.”

• Girl Power - Hygiene and Self Esteem!

  Funded Apr 22, 2024

  Thank you for your incredible support in providing self-care and hygiene bags for our fifth-grade girls! Your donation included essential items such as menstrual pads, cleansing cloths, shower steamers, mirrors, nail polish, lip balm, girl power stickers, journals, pens, scrunchies, hand cream, chocolates, and emery boards. At our event, we engaged the girls in meaningful conversations about the challenges they face, creating a space for them to express and explore their worries openly. By focusing on their physical, emotional, and mental health, we aimed to help them prioritize their needs and build a positive self-image. The self-care bags were a wonderful culmination, reinforcing their self-worth and providing them with tools to navigate adolescence with confidence. Your generosity has made a profound impact, and we are deeply grateful for your support in empowering these young girls.”
