  • Sounding Out Success: Noise Cancelling Headphones for Neurodivergent Learners

    Funded Mar 20, 2025

    I am beyond grateful for your generosity in helping secure noise-canceling headphones for my students with disabilities. Your support means the world to us and will make an incredible difference in their learning experience.

    These headphones will provide a calmer and more focused environment, allowing my students to better engage with their lessons and thrive in the classroom. Your kindness truly empowers them to succeed, and I cannot thank you enough for making this possible.

    On behalf of my students and myself, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your impact will be felt every day, and we are so lucky to have your support.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Monte

  • Put Me on the Big Screen!

    Funded Sep 19, 2019

    Thank you so much for your generosity.

    Since we began using our document camera in the classroom, it has helped keep my students engaged. Unfortunately, we do not have a SMARTboard or Promethean, making it an extremely daunting task to keep students engaged during 90 minute periods. The document camera allows me to mirror and project whatever I put under the lens! I mostly use it to model note-taking and the correct ways to show my work (I'm a math teacher!); however, the possibilities are endless!

    It's actually amazing to see how many of my students have started to model the exact way that I take notes, and are starting to love it! Thank you again for all your support, I'm looking forward to a successful 2nd half of the school year!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Monte

  • Help Us "Namaslay" Our School Work!

    Funded Dec 22, 2019

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart for contributing to my classroom. My students are going to be SO excited that we no longer have to sit on the dusty floor during our daily yoga breaks! It'll even give them someplace else to sit and complete their classwork! Thank you again for all the support. Wishing everyone a happy and healthy new year!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Monte

It is no secret that most children hate to read, thus impeding their progress academically. A subscription to Time for Kids would expose my students to non-fiction texts way before the state tests! I'm hoping that once they familiarize themselves with non-fiction texts, they will become engaged, rather than withdrawn. We have a limited number of resources, and I believe that it is important that all students be given the chance to succeed. A document camera would also be beneficial to my classroom because it would allow me to model certain skills and concepts that can be viewed as complex.
