  • Help Me Create a State-of-the-Art Classroom for My Students

    Funded Aug 20, 2023

    We are writing to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation of classroom materials, including markers, Kleenex, coloring supplies, and AirPods. Your support has made a significant impact on our educational environment, and we are truly grateful for your kindness and generosity.

    Your contribution of markers, coloring supplies, and Kleenex will greatly benefit our students. These essential classroom materials will enhance our teaching and learning activities, creating a more engaging and comfortable environment for our students. The colorful markers and coloring supplies will stimulate creativity and inspire our students to express themselves through art. Additionally, the Kleenex will help ensure the well-being and health of our students by providing a readily available supply of tissues.

    The donation of AirPods is particularly valuable as it will help us adapt to the changing educational landscape. In today's world, technology plays a crucial role in education, and your gift will enable us to provide our students with innovative learning experiences. These AirPods will enhance our students' access to digital resources, allowing them to engage with educational content more effectively and improving their overall learning experience.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Hyatt Clarke

  • 9th Grade Class Yearning to Read an Awesome Book Together!

    Funded Sep 17, 2013

    Thank you for your contribution! 160 students will be exposed to a great book and will realize that reading/literacy CAN, in fact, still be fun in high school. I cannot WAIT to tell my students tomorrow that our project is funded and the books are on the way!!!

    I am amazed at the overwhelming response and kindness through DonorsChoose.org, and I will definitely pay it forward. Words cannot express my true gratitude to each of you for your interest in my classroom and your support in helping me reach this goal! Thank you again!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Hyatt Clarke

These inner-city public school children (TN) are in desperate need of access to a book they can relate to and connect with so that they don't dread reading for the remaining high school years; reluctance to read will cause them to suffer across the board. Many of them are from inner-city "neighborhoods" and have not been raised around books/reading. Our school is moving to one of the top 3 in the district, but our data shows that we are still failing to meet the needs of our struggling readers/learners. This book makes reading and learning accessible for them, and they LOVE it. Actually, last year several copies that I had of this book were taken from my classroom by my so-called reluctant readers because they couldn't wait any longer in class to finish it!!! They wanted to take it home and read it on their own! How awesome is that? Hearing, "Ms. H...that's the 1st book I ever read and loved!" shows that Sherman Alexie's novel DOES have the capacity to break "the cycle"!!!
