Funded Dec 4, 2024Thank you for your generous donation, which will significantly enhance the learning experience for my students. Your support in providing hand2mind Mindful Maze Boards, Flick Sticks, Playdoh, flexible seating stools, and privacy dividers will create a classroom environment that fosters both emotional well-being and academic focus.
The Mindful Maze Boards are a wonderful, screen-free way for students to practice self-soothing and mindfulness. These hands-on tools will help guide students through breathing exercises, allowing them to manage anxiety and regulate their emotions. This kind of social-emotional learning is vital for helping students build resilience, and your donation will make a real difference in their ability to cope with stress and stay focused.
In addition, the Flick Sticks and Playdoh provide calming, tactile experiences that are perfect for students who benefit from sensory fidget toys. These simple, silent tools help reduce stress, improve concentration, and support students who may need a little extra help staying engaged in schoolwork.
The flexible seating stools and privacy dividers are also invaluable resources in my classroom. Some students, particularly those with attention-related challenges, struggle to focus in a busy environment. With the privacy dividers, I can create quiet, distraction-free spaces where students can concentrate more effectively, while the stools offer flexibility and comfort for those who need to move around to stay focused.
With these resources, I hope to provide every student with the opportunity to learn, grow, and feel secure. Your generosity is helping me create a classroom where students can thrive, both emotionally and academically. Thank you once again for your kindness and support.”

Funded Nov 21, 2024I want to sincerely thank you for your generous donation to support my students' learning through the addition of Mondrian Blocks and magnetic building blocks. These resources will have a profound impact on their cognitive and creative development, and I am so grateful for your contribution.
The high-quality, non-toxic materials of the magnetic blocks ensure both safety and durability, making them a perfect addition to our classroom. Whether used for solo play or group activities, these blocks will foster essential skills like teamwork, social interaction, and communication. In particular, the Mondrian Blocks provide an excellent way to engage children in spatial reasoning and problem-solving, offering them a fun yet effective way to challenge their minds.
These hands-on tools will encourage creative thinking and critical reasoning, while also helping children develop vital cognitive skills, such as spatial awareness and critical thinking. With just a few minutes of play, students can experience the joy of solving spatial brain teasers and work together to explore new ways of building and thinking.
Thank you again for providing these incredible resources to our classroom. Your donation will enhance creativity, foster teamwork, and help my students develop critical skills they will carry with them for years to come.”

Funded Oct 3, 2024Thank you for your generous donation in support of my project. Thanks to your kindness, we have art and craft supplies that will allow my students to create beautiful flyers and artwork to decorate medical facilities.
These pieces will serve as colorful tributes to the essential workers who dedicate themselves day in and day out to provide compassionate care. We aim to celebrate their tireless efforts and bring a little extra joy and cheer to the medical spaces where they work. Our goal is not only to brighten the environment for healthcare providers but also to create a more positive atmosphere for the patients visiting these facilities.
By focusing on the well-being of healthcare providers, we recognize the profound impact that supporting their mental health can have on their ability to care for their patients. Helping reduce provider burnout is crucial for improving patient care and enhancing the overall experience in healthcare settings. This project will hopefully contribute to improving the work environment for medical professionals, while also promoting better population health outcomes.
We are incredibly excited to express our gratitude in such a creative way and make a positive difference in these healthcare environments. Your donation makes all of this possible, and we are deeply grateful for your support.”

Funded Oct 3, 2024I want to send my heartfelt thanks for your generous donation to support technology upgrades in my classroom. Your contribution is helping me bring much-needed improvements to our learning environment and will make a world of difference in the way I teach and engage my students.
As an educator, I strive to provide lessons that not only capture my students' attention but also make learning more effective and dynamic. However, with our current outdated desktop, I am often limited in the digital resources I can use. Slow speeds and an inability to load new apps, videos, and interactive lessons have hindered my ability to fully engage my students and take advantage of the incredible digital content available today.
Your donation will allow me to update our technology, enabling me to explore new digital lessons and resources with my curious students. This updated technology will create a bridge between traditional learning and the vast possibilities offered by technology, helping to make my lessons faster, more engaging, and more effective.
Thank you again for your generosity. With your support, I can provide my students with the best educational experiences possible and inspire them to explore and grow in ways that were previously limited.”

Funded Sep 18, 2024I want to express my deepest gratitude for your generous donation to support my classroom and my students. Your thoughtful contribution will help us create a positive and engaging reward system that encourages hard work, good decision-making, and financial literacy.
Each week, my students earn points for their efforts and achievements, and they love having the opportunity to "shop" for incentives every Friday.

It's an incredible joy to see them so excited about earning points and watching them learn the importance of planning ahead for something they truly want.

Funded Jul 24, 2024Thank you for your kind donation to our project. These resources and activities about compassion will help provide an emotionally safe environment, and ease the way students are feeling.
We're so excited to use the card making kits and seals, the encouragement plushies, and other items. They really help the children to meet new challenges in a more calm way.
Your support and generosity to our project is greatly appreciated. Compassion is so important when little kids are learning about the world around them and their own big feelings. !st graders especially struggle with this concept as they transition to a grade and place that requires more independence, self awareness, and an understanding of others. Your donation and interest will help us this year to overcome many of these challenges.”
