• Keeping Our Classroom Stocked, Clean, and Motivated!

  Funded Mar 25, 2025

  Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom! Your donation means more than just replenishing supplies—it helps create a learning environment where students feel prepared, supported, and valued every day. With your help, we’ll be able to stock up on much-needed essentials like hand sanitizer, sanitizing wipes, pencils, colored pencils, and blank stickers that I use to keep students motivated and on track with test reminders and encouraging notes.

  These may seem like small items, but they make a big difference. Hand sanitizer and wipes help keep everyone healthy and focused on learning, while pencils and colored pencils ensure no student is ever held back for lack of basic tools. The stickers may be simple, but they help students stay organized and feel cared for.

  Many of my students face daily challenges outside the classroom, and your kindness gives them one less thing to worry about. Because of your support, my students can walk into a clean, stocked, and welcoming classroom ready to do their best.

  From the bottom of my heart—thank you for making a real difference in their education and in their lives. 💛”

• Tasty Treats for Academic Athletes

  Funded Feb 20, 2025

  I cannot thank you enough for your generous support of our Tasty Treats for Academic Athletes project! Your kindness has made an immediate and meaningful impact on my Academic Pentathlon students, who work tirelessly to prepare for competitions. The snacks and treats you provided have given them an extra boost of energy and motivation during our long study sessions and practice events. Having these snacks readily available has not only helped keep their focus sharp but has also reinforced a sense of camaraderie within the team.

  When my students first saw the treats, their excitement was undeniable. Many of them juggle rigorous coursework with their Pentathlon studies, so knowing they had something to keep them fueled made a big difference. One student even remarked, "It feels like we're really being supported, like people believe in us!" Moments like these remind me how important it is to create a positive and encouraging learning environment.

  Thanks to your generosity, my students are moving forward with renewed enthusiasm as we gear up for the final phases of our competition season. They are working hard to master the Super Quiz and push their knowledge to the next level. Your support has given them not only the nourishment they need but also the motivation to keep striving for excellence. On behalf of myself and my dedicated students—thank you for believing in us!”

• Bright Ideas on the Move!

  Funded Jan 15, 2025

  Thank you so much for your incredible generosity and support of my classroom and students through Donors Choose. Your contributions mean the world to us and will make an immediate, positive impact in so many ways.

  The new LED lights will not only brighten our classroom but also help make our whiteboard agenda an engaging and visually inviting focal point for daily learning. The pen refills and Lysol wipes are essential tools that ensure our space remains functional, organized, and safe from germs, especially during cold and flu season.

  I am especially excited about the new wagon, which will make a huge difference for our Academic Decathlon and Pentathlon teams. From keeping snacks, drinks, donuts, calculators, and other supplies organized to transporting everything with ease, this wagon will allow our team to focus on doing their best without worrying about logistics. It's a small detail that makes a big difference, and your support made it possible.

  Your kindness and thoughtfulness inspire both me and my students. On behalf of our entire class and my Academic teams, thank you for believing in us and for helping create a learning environment where every detail contributes to success.”

• Praise for Pentathlon With Shirts!

  Funded Dec 13, 2024

  Thank you so much for your generous donations to my Academic Pentathlon team. My 8th grade Pentathlon students will love having a new team shirt for their upcoming Scrimmage practice next month and then their Objective Tests and will love wearing the team shirts during their SuperQuiz competition. Your donation will help reward everyone for participating on the team and show them that they are appreciated for going the extra mile. Again, thank you so much for helping our teams feel appreciated and recognized for their hard work all year. I wish all of them could receive a medal at the end of the year, but now we can at least appreciate their efforts. We appreciate your help. Thank you!”

  Funded Aug 14, 2024

• Supplies & Encouragement Keeps a Student Going!

  Funded Jun 14, 2024

  Thank you so much for donating to my project. Students will be so excited in August on the first day of school to use these new organization supplies and cute stickers. The birthday awards will be nice to continue celebrating my students on their special day. They may be in middle and high school, but they still love attention!

  I already created the birthday awards for all the August Birthdays and they love to feel special on their birthdays. It will also be nice to give out organizers to students who may otherwise be unable to afford it. I know parents have a lot of spending during Back to School and it's nice to take a little of that off their shoulders. Thank you!”

• Help Me Give My Students Extra Supplies!

  Funded May 8, 2024

  Thank you so much for your generous donations to my classroom. I always need to replace something in my classroom. Replacing our Hunger Games series and 2 history DVDs will also help our classroom because some students did not seem to return them last year. Lastly, I would love to replace some of our individual fans that students can use at their desk with their Chromebooks. Our classroom AC can only do so much to keep them cool, especially just after PE or when students are playing outside during Nutrition and Lunch. Thank you so much! I feel so supported by our community!”
