Pick Me Up in the School Library!
Funded Mar 11, 2025I want to thank you for your support towards this project! This is one of my favorite things I do in the library space because I love to see how something so simple, can lift so many students up.
Something as simple as a piece of candy, gum, a mint, can turn someone's day around.
I love keeping a little candy basket out by our check out station and letting the kids have that joyful moment with their little treat.
I am so appreciative for your support towards this project because we do go through lots of supplied with the candy basket and I really appreciate the support for the restock that we really needed.
I want to thank you for your help, it means so much to me and my students. We appreciate you so much!”

School Supply Kits for Those in Need!
Funded Oct 15, 2024This was such a powerful project for my students. They worked to create the pencil pouches with materials that were donated to area schools that had students affected by hurricane flooding. They created supportive cards to go in each pencil pouch as well. They worked incredibly hard on this project for students in their community to show them that they care and want to support them during this time.
I am so proud of the students for how much pride they took in their work and how hard they worked to make this a nice pencil pouch and card for students in their community.
This project was a wonderful way for my students to feel involved in a community service project in our local community to help students in their region.
Thank you so much for supporting this community service project!”
