Classroom Readiness and Beautification

Funded Nov 10, 2021

I want to start off by expressing my gratitude. As a first-year teacher, it is very nerve-wrecking not knowing how I was going to get through the year. I wanted to make sure that my students were learning and that it is a wonderful experience for them in the classroom. I wanted them to have all the resources that they would need to thrive academically and socially. Thanks to your generous donations, I was able to give them supplies that they needed. While also making the classroom ecology more inviting.

Once I received all of the materials, I put them around a table and did a showcase. Students got to see every single resource that was donated. My students were so surprised and shocked to find out that all the supplies they had gotten were donated by people that they didn't know. They were surprised to find out that someone out there acted as their guardians of learning. They were super thankful to know that they were being supported by people who only wished them well and to succeed. Even more, that they only thing they sought in return was to see how they would use the supplies and materials.

Since then, my students have continued to use all of the materials that have not been used up and they take care of them really well. They want my future students to be able to also use them as well. It warms my heart to see how grateful they are for everything they are able to use thanks to your contribution to their learning. We have a few months left and I look forward to continuing to use the materials for as long as they last.

Thank you so much again and I hope you know how much of a difference you have made for them. Also, giving me hope that there are truly generous beings out there.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Ramos
