  • iPad for My iClass

    Funded Sep 24, 2021

    Thank you so much for the iPad you so generously donated to my classroom. My students were thrilled to have a new iPad. Many do not have iPads at home so my classroom is the only place where they are able to use this device. My English language learners with special needs have benefited from the iPad the most. They have used the iPad to access curriculum that is more visual and entertaining. My students with visual impairments have been able to listen to lessons through the iPad. It's amazing to notice how my students are learning through the iPad.

    My students and I truly appreciative of your support. You are our classroom angels!”

    The laptop has been used everyday since we received it. Students have had the opportunity to conduct research on the Internet, type reports, and practice their reading and math skills. Their enthusiasm to learn has increased, thanks to your wonderful donation.

  • Healthy Hearts

    Funded Oct 22, 2020

    Thank you so much for your generous donation towards our project. My students were thrilled to receive their jump ropes and absolutely love them.

    The jump ropes are sturdy and of great quality. They have been used on a daily basis and are great for children.

    The students have also used the jump rope for a school-wide event connected to the American Heart Association. It was a great event that wouldn't have taken place without all the wonderful jump ropes that you helped donate.

    Thank you so much for keeping my students healthy and active during distance learning.”
