    Funded May 9, 2022

    Thank you very much!!! My students and I are very grateful for the wonderful gifts you gave us.Because of you, my students were able to make many wonderful memories as they ended their academic journey in Elementary School. We enjoyed experimenting with the Cricut as we created labels and letters for various classroom projects. We even created labels for our water bottles.

    The iPad was used to create videos of the students on trips, doing challenges, and playing games. many of my students are techies, so they were able to share their their skills with their peers. I was totally amazed by the amount of knowledge and skills these students possessed. Thanks to your generosity, they were able to showcase their creativity. We could not have done this without your donation.”

My fifth-grade special education students and I bid hasty goodbyes in March, not realizing we wouldn't be back in school for the rest of the year. My students are struggling during lessons because they don't have the right tools to participate in activities. We just started an art program- Studio in a School. My students love it but they don't have the right materials. I was moved to see them try to make collages last week, without glue and colored paper. These supplies, like markers, paper, pencils, and glue along with coloring books will motivate and engage students now.
