Together Again: Stronger and Safer than Ever
Funded Aug 17, 2021I wanted to thank you all so very much for your donations towards my class, my students this year. With the oandemic still being a very real threat we have worked extremely hard to keep our fifth grade classes safe and healthy.
The donations you made went toward purchasing individual storage boxes for each student. They are able to keep all of their math belongings safely in my class and their ELA supplies in their other class without having to share or touch another student's supplies. Since our students must move between 2 classes, we now only have to move a minimum amount of supplies and they all have their own.
We have been the only grade in our k-8 school that has not had to have multiple students quarantine because of close contact. We are able to work and socialize in a safe way. What seems like such a small change, having individualized supply boxes, I believe has made a huge difference. Thank you so much for helping me make it all happen.”

Funded Aug 8, 2020I don't know where to begin when thanking everyone for their contributions to our classroom. This year has been like no other and I was truly at a loss for how we could come together as a class and still keep ourselves safe. The storage containers that you helped us get have truly been a blessing. When my students are able to return to class they will each have a desk size storage container that will fit their personal supplies so that no one has to share. They boxes will be filled with notebooks, pencils, and all other supplies the students may need. They will fit perfectly in their desks and will be easy to transport for other classes. Some may even be able to store their school laptop in the container as well. It seems like a small detail, but knowing that my students will have everything they need in a safe place makes me feel more confident in having a better, healthier, and safer school year to come.”

Funded Dec 9, 2020Thank you so very much for the contributions you have made to myself and more importantly to my students this school year. This year has been so much more difficult than years past with the Covid restrictions in place and your very generous donations have made it easier for us to connect as a class and to keep each other safe. We have been able to use the new iPad to share creative solutions in mathematics as well as for students to better engage with each other while distanced. The few students who have been able to use it in class have been able to be more creative with how they are doing their work and to work more interactively together. Students have used it share with classmates virtually and to work on assignments that cannot be turned in physically. We ar ealso so eternally grateful for your kindness and support.”
