  • Comfy Classroom Seating!

    Funded Aug 12, 2022

    Thank you so much for the comfy seating in my classroom. The students love having the option of not just sitting at their desks. Many of the students ask to sit on the couch while doing their class work. It makes them feel more comfortable in my room.

    After a lesson students like to gather on the couch and bean bag chairs to complete group work. I always encourage my students to work collaboratively. I find they are more productive when they can work together.

    Thank you again for your generous donations to my project!”

  • Creativity Through Acrylic Painting!

    Funded Sep 22, 2021

    Thank-you so much for donating my project "Creativity Through Acrylic Painting" My students have loved the painting together. Their creativity was over flowing.

    I was able to present the art work around the schools and I got so much positive feed back. One of my colleagues suggested starting a "Painting Club". I took her advise and was able to share my love of painting with more than just my class. I opened the club up to grades 3-5 and have had so much fun sharing my love of abstract painting with more students.

    Thanks again for your generous support!!!”

  • Seat Sacks for 4th Grade

    Funded Sep 8, 2021

    Organization is so important for a student. Unfortunately, I was not able to get the seat sacks. They did not fit the chairs that I had in my classroom but I was able to purchase bins for each student.

    The bins have been so helpful to the students. They have been able to keep their desks more organized and are able to put extra materials in the bins.

    I have noticed that my students are able to find all of their materials quickly since securing the bins for them. They are taking more pride in keeping their desks and bins clean and free of clutter. They get a reward at the end of the week if they have kept both clean and organized.

    Thank-you so much for your generous donation to my classroom.”

  • Chromebooks for Individualized Education

    Funded Sep 13, 2018

    This is just a small token of gratitude for your donation of Chromebooks and headphones to my classroom. The items you have donated have helped my three classes everyday. The students can now listen online learning programs in peace. My students have started working on Googleslide projects. They love that they do not have to share a computer to create their slides. It is such a pleasure to see their faces light up when they have created some new.

    As you know many public schools are facing great financial setbacks, without your help I never would have been able to get the vital resources for my 4th graders. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!”

  • Chromebooks for 4th Grade!!!

    Funded Aug 28, 2017

    This is a small token of my gratitude for your generous donation to my classroom. The computers you donated have helped the students everyday. They use the computers for various educational websites. They will also help with various class projects we will do throughout the year. The computers are being used in both 4th grade classes this year.

    Chicago Public Schools is currently facing budget shortfall, without your help my students would not have the vital resources needed in order to succeed in school. Thanks again for your generous donation to my project.”

  • Securing Chrome Books!

    Funded Mar 29, 2017

    This is just a small token of my gratitude for your generous donation to my classroom. The Chromebook that you donated helped my 4th graders every day. We used them to help with many projects in the classroom. It made learning so much more enjoyable.

    Our school is currently facing a budget shortfall, without your help, my students would never be able to have the vital resources. Having access to computers in the classroom makes completing projects easier.

    Without donors like you, thousands of classrooms would go without.”

  • Chromebooks for Projects!

    Funded Nov 30, 2016

    My project has been funded, and my students and I are all tremendously excited! With your support, we will be able to turn my class into a more engaging place, where the students will be able to get their hands on technology. I am confident that this will increase interest, and thus understanding.

    This funding has come right on time. Looking ahead at my lessons for the coming months, I will be able to use all of these materials in an exciting and appropriate way to fuel student learning and achievement. One more time, thanks so much!”

  • Chromebook for Writing

    Funded Aug 29, 2016

    This is a just a small token of gratitude for the donation to my classroom. The Chromebooks have been helpful with various kinds of research my students are conducting. They love exploring beyond the walls of the classroom. The Chromebooks have also given them a chance to work cooperatively. This is beneficial to their development as a productive student.

    Our school is currently facing a huge budget deficit, without your generous support my students would not have these vital resources in the classroom. Thank-you again for your kind donation to my classroom project.

    Without donors like you, thousands of classrooms would go without.”

  • Chromebook for Writing

    Funded Aug 3, 2016

    This is just a small token of my gratitude for your generous donation to my classroom. The Chromebooks have made a tremendous difference in my classroom. The students are enjoying researching various topics in Science/Social Studies.

    Chicago Public School is currently facing huge budget shortfall, so without your help my students would never have had the technology to use in the classroom.

    Without donors like you, thousands of classrooms in the United States would go without. Thank you so much again for your kind donation.”

  • Seeking Seat Sacks!!!

    Funded Aug 22, 2016

    Dear Donors,

    This is just a small thank-you for your generous donation to my classroom. My students are keeping their stuff organized in the Seat Sacks. It is important to start organization early in school. It makes for a successful student. They also create less clutter in the classroom which makes for a better learning environment.

    Our school is going through a tremendous budget short fall this year, without your help this project could not have been possible. Thank-you so much for your kind donation to my classroom this year.”
