  • Welcoming Students Back to School, With a Capturing Classroom Environment!

    Funded Aug 6, 2023

    My students and I are very grateful for your donations. Thanks to your donations my students have an awesome learning environment with beautiful bulletin boards that add a little color to our classroom. The students reaction was amazing, they think our classroom is pretty and they said; "it looks cool!"

    In addition the students are happy we have pencils for everyone and a pencil sharpener that works.

    One of their favorite items donated via this project is the magnetic letters. They enjoy being able to make words using the magnetic letters with their personal white boards.

    Eventually, the students will also be able to use the magnetic letters to write simple sentences. Thanks to all your donations I have been able to accomplish my mission of providing a welcoming environment for students to learn.”

  • Snacks and Art Supplies= Happy Students

    Funded Dec 30, 2020

    Thank you for your donation and making it possible for my students to receive their art school supplies and snacks. It is people like you that make a difference in children's lives.

    The students have enjoyed the art lessons and look forward to them every Friday. Moreover, the students are enjoying the opportunity to express themselves via art. In our first art lessons the students created a land scape, followed by a fox portrait, and an elephant. My students have gotten creative adding their own touch to their art pieces and learned new art concepts and skills. The student's art pieces reflect how much they have learned, and enjoy their art lessons. Again, thank you for making our art lessons more successful.”

  • Critical Thinkers in Need of the Tools to Succeed

    Funded Oct 11, 2018

    On behalf of my students and I, we would like to say THANK YOU! Your donations have impacted our classroom in many positive ways. The students were really excited when they first saw the Donation box arrive to our classroom. Moreover, the students are able to use good quality pencils and erasers everyday. Additionally the students were able to share their ideas on the large post-it poster size pages and markers donated. It was exciting to see my students so eager and motivated to learn, just by having these additional basic school supplies.

    Thanks to donors like you, my students will continue to have successful educational experiences and continue to use the school supplies to express their knowledge and ideas.

    Thank you again for all your donations. We are very grateful and appreciate all your help.”

  • Help Our Students Succeed in Our Science Fair

    Funded Jan 31, 2012

    Thank you all very much for your donations towards our science fair. The science supplies have impacted the students success in their science fair projects.

    The students were extra motivated and excited to work on their science fair projects because of the new hands on materials we received from donors like you. Moreover, the materials we received facilitated the students understanding of their project's concepts. Students, had the opportunity to explore hands on and designed their own solar systems. Others had the opportunity to experiment using elements and periodic table and identify the elements. Furthermore, some students had the opportunity to learn all about the digestive system. The digestive system visual we receive impacted the students learning and understanding in a very positive manner. Pictures and visuals received were worth a million words.

    Thank you again for all your donations. We are very grateful and appreciate all your help.”

My students are creative, thoughtful and have the desire to learn. They absolutely love hands-on activities, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! By donating to our project, you will ultimately help to increase my students’ academic achievement. The school supplies I am requesting such as an easel pads, markers, and color pencils, will be tools students need to succeed. During this project students will have the opportunity to be critical thinkers and analyze one of their complex readings. As a small group the students will chart down their ideas, to demonstrate their understanding of the text. Later the students will share their charts with their peers. This ongoing project will provide students ample opportunities to chart down their ideas when reading other complex stories. This project will impact my students' education and lead them to be critical thinkers and lifelong learners.
