  • Germs, Germs Go Away!

    Funded Sep 9, 2021

    My students, school parents, and I are extremely thankful for your help in making this project possible. With the virus coming at us full speed, it is scary to think about our childrens' safety and health. Parents have been hesitant in sending their children to school because they fear for what can come. As a teacher, I feel it is my duty to do all that is in my power to keep my students as safe as possible.

    Having this air purifier in class even brought joy to my students knowing they are a step closer to being safe in class. Thank you for bringing this sense of security and safety into our educational environment. We are eternally grateful!”

  • Sit, Relax, and Learn

    Funded Jan 25, 2020

    Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generous donations. This seating option has been a wonderful addition to our flexible seating options in our classroom. It helps the children feel more at home and comfortable at the same time. It gives them a sense of security for a more relaxed educational setting and they are more motivated to come to school every day. Because of the global pandemic we are going through, it helps them feel like the classroom is another home away from home and therefore they strive harder to continue their education during these difficult times. Once again, thank you for your support!”

  • All About the Accessories!

    Funded May 5, 2020

    Thank you very much for your kind donations. These materials were received with lots of happiness and joy from the students and myself. After dealing with such difficult times due to this global pandemic, it is highly necessary to help our children build up that joy and confidence necessary to be successful. The creations that these students have done have brought smiles to their faces and the joy that was missing. They have been able to expand their imagination and come up with creations that not even they thought were possible. With these materials I will be able to continue to work with them and bring happiness and confidence back to those faces.”

    Funded Mar 14, 2020

    Thank you very much for your kind donations. The materials from this project helped my students expand their imagination and creativity. It has helped them forget for a while what we have been going through with this global pandemic. Their creations have brought a smile to their face and helped them deal with these hard times in an easier manner. They have been able to create things that they never thought were possible and brought out the artists within them. These materials will continue to help me as a teacher in bringing out the creativity and imagination in many other students for the following years!”

  • The Power of a Printer!

    Funded Apr 3, 2019

    The presence of this color printer in our classroom has been a great ease of access in order for me to make a better classroom for the students. I am now able to have our anchor charts in color and it brings a lot of life into the classroom! It is proven that color helps children retain information in a more effective manner, so having all this information around the room makes it looks prettier, more inviting, and best of all, helps the children learn even more! The students are happier when they are in the classroom seeing so much color on the walls and not just black and white information. Thank you for your help!”

  • Just Sit, Relax, and Learn!

    Funded Nov 20, 2018

    Thank you very much for your contribution to this project. My students were so excited when they saw the huge box come in. Once they saw what was inside, their eyes just lit up in amazement to see that they had another flexible seating option in the classroom. It makes our classroom feel more "homey" and the students love to sit on there and complete their assignments or simply read a good book. Thank you very much, from the bottom of our hearts. Thanks to this seating option, my students are more comfortable while learning when they find it necessary and have a better learning experience. Thank you so much for your support! We are eternally grateful!”

    This classroom project was brought to life by An anonymous donor and 4 other donors.
Our classroom is composed of 19 creative, passionate, and beautiful minds. Each child comes in with a different background, lifestyle, and personal story. Being able to have these kids with me five days out of the week and helping them succeed in life is something I am very grateful for. Being that we are in a low income community, many of these children come in with few experiences and supplies to fuel their learning. It is of great satisfaction to see them growing day by day and seeing how they are changing their growths and mindsets with everything they learn. These kids are out future leaders, and I am glad to help them through their educational career. It makes me very happy to see them reach their goals and help their dreams of success come true.
