Comfy Classroom Seating!
Funded Aug 12, 2022Thank 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!”

Funded Sep 22, 2021Thank-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!!!”

Funded Sep 8, 2021Organization 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, 2018This 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!”
