    Where do I begin other than to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. My kids were so excited when packages started to arrive in our classroom, both big and small. They loved opening them and seeing all the new stuff that we can use in our classroom. My paraprofessional Ms.MaryAnn loves her new standing white board. She uses it daily with our students. The laptop and tablet the kids love because they can practice their reading and math skills. I like the aqua stool and floor chairs as well. They offer my kids who have trouble staying in their seats different options for seating. The wireless keyboards and mouse were great for our technology center. I have one student who is left handed in 1st grade. She loves how easy it is now to move the mouse from the right to left side of the computer. The "Blocks Rocks" game is our Friday favorite game to play. All the supplies provided are amazing! I really enjoy seeing my students using all of these things daily and watching there little minds learn and grow with the help of your donation.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Santamaria

    I can't thank you enough for your generous donation. The kids were so excited to see all the new goodies we get to use in the classroom. The reading trackers we use everyday during our reading lessons. It has come to the point that I don't even have to tell them to take them out. The students also use the coloring pencils on a daily basis to help chart their multiplication facts. The fidgets have also been a life-saver in the classroom for my kids who have trouble staying still in class. We also have a new classroom job for the kids, artisanal pencil sharpener. At the end of the day student's who have this job get to go around the room and pick up pencils that need to be sharpened. Although these items do not seem like much my students and myself are very grateful for them. Even the little things play a big role in our classroom community. From the bottom of our hearts thank you so much for the donations.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Santamaria

Hello, thank you for taking the time to review my welcome message. Let me first start off by introducing myself. My name is Ms. Santamaria. I am a fifth year special education teacher at Chateau Estates. I teach grades 1st-3rd grade. Most of the students who attend my school live in areas of high poverty and receive free or reduced lunch. Teachers at my school receive a supply fee each year for $100, which doesn't provide me with enough money to cover classroom expenses throughout the year (pencils, paper, tissue, and paper towels) which seem to disappear over night. Many of my students require extra supplies to help assist them in the classroom. I have a great group of kids and I want to provide them with the tools that they need in order to achieve their goals in life. Thank you so much for your support!
