  • Creating a Comfortable and Inviting Classroom

    Funded Jan 4, 2025

    I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your generous contributions that have transformed our classroom into a more inviting and comfortable space. Adding decorative plants and vibrant posters has not only brightened the environment but also created an atmosphere that fosters creativity and engagement among students. Your support has truly made a difference in our learning experience, making it a place where students feel inspired and excited to learn each day.

    Additionally, the new fan has been a wonderful improvement, providing a refreshing breeze that enhances our comfort during those warmer days (or when the heater won't turn off). It's incredible to see how these thoughtful additions have positively impacted both our daily activities and the overall mood in the classroom. Your kindness and commitment to our educational environment are deeply appreciated, and we are grateful to have such supportive individuals backing our efforts. Thank you once again for your generosity”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. O'Donnell

  • Calming/Recreational Activities to Grow Social and Emotional Skills During Recess

    Funded Dec 4, 2024

    I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your incredibly generous support for our project to provide games and fidgets for our students. The kids are excited and can't wait to dive into these fun activities during our next indoor recess! It's heartwarming to see how these items are helping them enjoy their downtime and feel more relaxed and focused throughout the day.

    Your generosity has made a difference in our school community, and we can't thank you enough! It's wonderful to know that we have supporters like you who care so much about our students' happiness and well-being. We can't wait to share all the joy and laughter these new games will bring. Thanks again for making such a positive impact!”

  • Flexible Seating for Special Education English/Reading Classroom!

    Funded Sep 18, 2024

    I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to you for your generous contribution towards the purchase of our new flexible seating options for our English class. Its impact on our comfort and engagement levels is truly remarkable. Not only does the variety of seating options cater to different learning styles and preferences, but it has also created a more relaxed and inviting atmosphere that encourages active participation and collaboration. It's amazing to see how eager and motivated students are to get to class early to have the chance to choose their favorite seating option, and I believe this sense of autonomy has significantly contributed to our overall enthusiasm for learning.

    Furthermore, I've noticed a positive shift in our focus and productivity during class discussions and activities. The ability to select a comfortable and suitable seating arrangement has helped us feel more at ease, leading to increased participation and a genuine interest in the subject matter. Your thoughtful contribution has directly impacted our daily learning experience, and I truly appreciate the generous donation you've given toward creating a space that prioritizes my students' comfort and engagement. Thank you for making our English class an even more enjoyable and enriching experience.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. O'Donnell

My classroom is full of kind and passionate learners who are trying their hardest to learn how to read and write effectively with many varied abilities and backgrounds. They need a little support and a community of people open to seeing things from another angle and willing to help provide some support.
