  • Calculating Financial Success!

    Funded Dec 31, 2024

    Thank you for providing the students in our personal finance classes with Canon TX-220TSII 0633C001AA 12-Digit Desktop Calculators. Having these calculators with tax functions has made a big difference for students in these classes by being able to properly compute by using a calculator, students will be able to practice this vital 21st-century skill.

    Because students have a tax-function calculator to use daily in class, it has increased their life-long 21st-century skills by increasing their comfort in solving more complex problems.”

  • Helping My Students Stay Healthy!

    Funded Dec 31, 2024

    Thank you so much for helping provide my students with Klenex tissues and Lysol disinfecting wipes to help keep the germs at bay during this particularly bad flu season. Having access to these supplies has been a major hit this winter. If my students have healthy bodies, they will be more focused on learning. Providing my students with these supplies have helped make sure that they can learn in a stress-free, and generally germ-free environment. Thank you for helping make sure that my students are able to stay in school and illness free!”

  • Magnetic Brooms for Awesome Kids!

    Funded Sep 18, 2024

    Thank you so much for providing our creative MakerSpace and Robotics students with the magnetic brooms that have been so incredibly helpful with picking up small metal pieces that might roll away as they work or be hard to see on the floor.

    These magnetic brooms have been invaluable as we work to avoid losing our materials and help clean up after working for the day. The brooms have helped make sure that we are not losing our breadboarding, robotics, and VEX equipment. Again, thank you for your support!”

  • Feminine Care Products for Courageous Kids!

    Funded Aug 8, 2024

    Thank you so much for providing my students with feminine care and hygiene items! Having access to feminine hygiene products is a right that every student should have and thank you so much for making this happen. These products have shown our students how much we value their success and that we feel that they deserve to feel confident throughout the day- no matter what surprises the day may hold with their cycles. With your generous donation, we have provided feminine care baskets to each room on our floor, which has drastically expanded to the number of students that can access these items. Agian, thank you so much!”

  • Building Connections Through Board Games!

    Funded Dec 4, 2023

    Wow- thank you so much for your support! These board games have made a big difference in allowing my engineering students to play, build confidence in themselves, and develop socially and emotionally while forming connections with the other students in their class.

    By taking breaks from our engineering curriculum to build connections with each other, my students have had the chance to grow their confidence and ensure that they know that we are all a team in the classroom. Thank you for providing my students with the opportunity to grow!”

    Funded Dec 4, 2023

    Thank you for supporting my students and the students who take STEM classes at our school! The fidget toys have helped remove barriers that students may have had and allowed them to better access our curriculum. By refilling our supply of fidget toys, you have helped to create a stress-free environment in our STEM classrooms. The boxes of figet toy refillers have helped students in five different classrooms- that means that over 750 students have had the chance to be impacted by your generous gift!

  • Culturally Relevant Coloring

    Funded Dec 4, 2023

    Thank you so much for supporting the students in our school community! With your generous gift, you have ensured that our students will be able to see themselves represented when they relax and color during FLEX block with these culturally relevant coloring books.

    Giving students the ability to color images from these coloring books has brought many smiles to their faces and has encouraged them to ask questions and explore other cultures as well. Again, thank you for making sure that our students are seen and represented.”

  • Keeping Cool Kids Warm All Winter!

    Funded Jan 8, 2024

    Thank you so much for your support! The hats, gloves, and socks have been helping keep kids warm in over 10 different classrooms and all 5 of our house offices. With the long and drawn-out winter we had this year, students have been grateful for the extra layers well into April.

    Thank you so much for supporting my students to keep warm as they walk to and from school, wait for busses, play their sports, and their activities far beyond school. Thank you for making a difference in their lives!”

The students who take my engineering and robotics classes are apart of a large, urban school and come from many different cultural, ethnic, and economic backgrounds. However, these pieces of their identities do not define them. The students who take my class are creative, curious, and most importantly, my students are thinkers. They come in every day willing to learn and be challenged. They are future engineers and scientists and I want to help provide them with the tools they need to go off and achieve amazing things. Thank you for your support.
