  • Interactive Math and Science Education

    Funded Jan 30, 2024

    I cannot begin to thank you so very much for your very generous donations to this project! My students and I will be able to get so much more work done now in our science and math work. Science projects will be so much more enjoyable now that I can bring them onto the computer for them to see.

    Thank you again!”

  • Discovering Science Through Reading, Experimenting, and Transformation!

    Funded Aug 16, 2023

    Thank you so very much for the very generous donations that helped us acquire our Science grant. The students are enjoying so much being able to do projects in class, instead of just using a textbook. The "make a rocket" project seems to be their favorite so far. They have loved exploring the solar system and space. We will be moving onto weather and simple machines soon and that should really get their minds working. Without your support, none of this would have ever been possible. My students are so overjoyed with the possibilities these experiments will give them!

    Thank you again!”

  • Supplies for Success

    Funded Aug 27, 2023

    Thank you so much for your very generous donation that help us get our much needed supplies! We couldn't and would have gotten them without you! Thank you for supporting education and making my students live a bit easier! Without your generosity my students would not be able to be as successful as you helped make them. Without the donated headphones my students would not be able to hear certain lesson they have on the computer! The noise from the computer lessons can be very distracting for other students and the headphones help so much!”

    Mrs. Zibell

  • Ready, Set, Learn!

    Funded Jul 21, 2023

    Thank you so very much for the generous donations that enabled us to obtain school supplies.

    So many of our students come from families that just do not have the extra money to purchase the needed supplies for their children. Your generosity will help me to give my students the supplies they require to start the year successfully! Every notebook, pencil, folder, and many other items mean so much when it comes to a 5th grader.

    Our students come to school every day trying their best to achieve their goals. Your generosity continues to help them be successful.

    Thank you again so much!”

  • Dress for Success

    Funded May 12, 2023

    Thank you so very much for the generous donations that enabled us to obtain school uniforms.

    So many of our students come from families that just do not have the extra money to buy extra uniform shirts and pants. Children outgrow clothes so quickly. Your generosity will help me to give the students in need uniforms, so they do not feel left out in class.

    Our students come to school every day trying their best to achieve their goals. Your generosity continues to help them be successful.

    Thank you again so much!”

  • Help Grow Our Love to Read!

    Funded Apr 11, 2023

    Thank you so very much for the generous donation that enables us to get so many great books! I cannot wait to share them with next year's class of fantastic students. Reading is such an important part of our school day in to be able to instill a love for reading in my students is something that is very important to me. I love to watch my students faces as they are reading a book that they enjoy and see them be transported to wherever the book takes them. Becoming a good reader, help them, and so many other aspects of their schooling.

    Thank you again so much!”

  • Healthy Students Make Happy Students

    Funded Aug 24, 2022

    Thank you so very much for the incredible donations that made it possible to get the healthy snacks and water bottles for my students. They were so excited to get the waterbottles. With all that we have gone through with covid, having their own personal water bottle to use daily is perfect.

    The growth mindset book has so many excellent ideas and activities that I have used with my students. They seem to enjoy them so much!

    Once again thank you for being those special people that care so much about students!”

    Mrs. Zibell

  • Ready, Set, Learn

    Funded Aug 9, 2022

    Thank you so very much for the incredible donations that made it possible to receive all the beginning of the year school supplies. So many of my students come from families that unfortunately cannot afford to purchase the supplies they need to start off the year. Your donations gave us the notebooks, folders, pencils and other school supplies that give students the chance to be successful right away.

    Being able to just hand my students who did not have what they needed their school supplies, was a great feeling. Seeing the appreciation on their faces made my day!

    Thank you again so very much for everything!”

  • Focused Students Make for Better Learners

    Funded May 3, 2022

    Thank you so much for the donations that provided us to get our fidget toys. As a 5th grade teacher, I know how difficult it can be to stay focused on learning throughout the day. Something as simple as a fidget gadget can help so much!

    So many of my students love to be able to have something in their hands while they are working. I have noticed how much better they are doing. They are even seeing the difference in themselves.

    Once again thank you so much for caring about the good-will of children and making sure they have what they need to be successful.”

  • The Puberty Project

    Funded Mar 21, 2022

    I cannot thank you enough for the generous donations that allowed us to get the puberty supplies for my fifth graders. My students come from low-income families. Many times items like deodorant, toothbrushes, etc are not in their main focus budget. My students, who are close to becoming pre-teens are the ones who will suffer.

    I and the physical education teacher at my school will be providing a few health classes to my fifth graders. We will be explaining why it is so important to use each of the items they received in their "Puberty Bags." They were so excited to receive their bags because the items are some that we have spoken about so often as part of good health.

    Again, I cannot thank you enough for caring so much for the welfare of my fifth graders. They were so happy to receive their "Puberty Bags" with deodorant, toothbrushes, and toothpaste in a great private bag!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Zibell

"I am a fifth grade teacher in a pre k-8th grade school. Most of my students come from very low economic family status. My students all come from lower income families. Many of these children face poverty, violence and obscenities of life on a daily basis, that are well beyond what most of us could imagine. Yet my students do their best to learn. I try my best to give them a good education and an introduction to the American way of life, but with limited resources there are many things that others consider basic parts of education that I cannot provide without assistance. Many of them do not come to school with the correct supplies needed to succeed. Their parents are not able to supply them with simple school supplies.
