  • Let's Get Ready for a Positive New School Year

    Funded Oct 31, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generous donations. Without you all, we wouldn't be able to get the resources we need to succeed this school year! Our students greatly benefit from flexible seating. They work so nicely when they are able to sit on a flexible chair that helps them focus. We would also like to make our classroom colorful, therefore we having color ink for our classroom would greatly benefit the students learning. We feel that printing things in color draws the students attention and makes them want to read the information put on the walls and bulletin boards. So thank you very much for being so thoughtful. We appreciate you!”

    Ms. Costa

  • Online Resources = Student Success

    Funded May 1, 2024

    Thank you so much for your kind donations. Our students really need all of these resources. With your donations we were able to assist all students both virtually and in person. We used these resources throughout the year and will continue to use them moving forward. This has not only helped the students learn, but it has helped me grow as a teacher during these tough times. I was able to teach and assess the students better, by having these resources. Thank you truly from the bottom of my heart!”

  • Fresh Start for a New School Year

    Funded Nov 8, 2023

    This project has greatly impacted our classroom and has helped our students with access to materials that were greatly needed in our room. We are so grateful for you! Without printed materials it becomes hard to differentiate for all students needs. In our ENL classroom is filled with diverse learners who need all of the materials they can to succeed. In my classroom, I have students who speak other languages therefore I need to have materials prepared in their languages if need be. In our classroom it is also super important to keep it clean and organized. By presenting cleanliness and organization, the students learn the importance of both traits.”

  • Ready, Set, Learn

    Funded Sep 16, 2022

    Thank you so much for all of your kind & generous donations. Without you all, we wouldn't have all of these great materials and manipulatives for our classroom. My students will now be able to learn comfortably in their flexible seats. We will have enough paper to last us the school year with all of the important assignments that need to be printed. Our anchor charts are also super important for the kids to look around the room and be reminded of what we are learning in all subject areas. We are so thankful to have you all! These projects being funded mean everything to us!”

  • Brighten Up Our Diverse Library!

    Funded May 5, 2022

    Thank you so much for you kind and generous donation to our classroom. We were in great need of new books for our classroom library. Many of our books were out dated and falling apart. This made the students not interested in reading and it was becoming a concern. I wanted to make sure that the kids had new books that looked appealing to them. I wanted to to build their reading stamina. I mean who would want to read a book that is falling apart and yellow pages? We all want something new and appealing. And because of you I was able to give that to them! Thank you again for everything you've done for us!”

  • Because of Winn Dixie Read Aloud

    Funded May 5, 2021

    Having these books in our classroom has been absolutely amazing. It has given every student a chance to really read this book independently and as a whole class! This is a great book to read along with watching the movie that goes along with it. My students need both a visual and a physical book so they are able to really comprehend what is happening, since they are ENL learners. Thank you for everything that you've done for my class. I greatly appreciate it and my students greatly appreciate it as well.”

  • Bring our Library to Life!

    Funded Sep 12, 2019

    Thank you for you generous donation! We are so excited to get all of these new books in our classroom. We were in need for new books desperately. Now every student will be able to borrow books on their reading levels. The only way for a reader to grow and achieve the English language is by reading and being exposed to the new language through books. We are also thankful for our bilingual dictionaries to support the diverse learners. With these dictionaries, the students in the classroom who speak Arabic and Spanish will be able to identify the words in English. These dictionaries are filled with visuals along with the words they are looking to use or write.”

  • Ink is All We Need!

    Funded Mar 21, 2019

    Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generous support of our classroom. Students will be thrilled to have access to these basic classroom materials that will promote not only comfort within our classroom, they will also allow us to conduct small group work that targets students' learning needs with greater ease. Many of our students do not have access to technology at home, this also provides us with access to print more resources that students are unable to find on their own. We are so excited for these materials to arrive and to put them to great use!”
