Smashing into Teamwork: Nintendo Switch for Anime Club
Funded Oct 10, 2024Thank you so much for your generous support of our project, Smashing into Teamwork: Nintendo Switch! Because of you, our anime club students had a fun and meaningful way to connect, collaborate, and unwind together after school.
The Nintendo Switch became a favorite part of our club meetings. Whether students were teaming up in Super Smash Bros. or taking turns on Mario Kart, it created a space where friendships grew stronger and everyone felt more included. It brought so much laughter, camaraderie, and joy to our community.
Your generosity helped us create a welcoming and restorative space for students who don't always find that during the regular school day. We're incredibly grateful that you believed in our club and its mission to support student voice, belonging, and shared passions.”
With gratitude,

Snack Attack: Fuel Minds, Boost Wellness!
Funded Sep 28, 2024Thank you so much for your generosity in supporting our classroom snack project! Your contribution has made a tangible difference in my students' daily experiences and well-being.
The snacks arrived just as we were gearing up for a busy time in our classroom. For many of my students, the snacks have become more than just a treat—they're a lifeline. Having access to something to eat during the day has helped them focus better, participate more actively in discussions, and approach collaborative activities with greater energy and enthusiasm.
One particularly touching moment was when a student who often struggles with staying engaged during the last period of the day quietly said, "I didn't realize how much I needed this." It was a simple statement, but it summed up how much this project means to our class.
We're currently working on an Enduring Issues essay. The availability of snacks has allowed students to stay grounded and maintain focus as they engage in small-group discussions and hands-on activities.
Looking ahead, these resources will continue to foster a classroom environment where students feel cared for and ready to learn. Whether we're diving into challenging historical topics or preparing for exams, I know this project has helped set a foundation for success.
Thank you again for giving my students the gift of nourishment, focus, and care. It's made a difference, and we're so grateful for your support!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Caparelli
