  • Help Us Build a School Store!

    Funded Aug 14, 2024

  • Yummy Snacks for Students!

    Funded Sep 20, 2023

    First and foremost, I want to extend my

    most sincere thanks for your generosity. With your support, we have been able to stock our school with various snack options for our students. As a result of your donation, students have more snack options to help tide them over when they get hungry between meal times. Since receiving these snacks, students have been more engaged in class. Their increased focus can be attributed to no longer worrying about whether or not there will be food they like to eat in the cafeteria.

    I can truly say that your donation has had a tremendous impact on our school community. Thank you so much for your support.”

    Funded Dec 20, 2021

    Once again, you have made magic happen! My students are going to be so excited to learn that they will be able to keep their learning going- no matter what challenges arise.

  • High-Interest Books for 6th Graders!

    Funded Sep 22, 2021

    I am in absolute awe! In just two hours, we were able to get the word out and you all made it possible to make this dream a reality. Thank you for supporting my class! I fell in love with reading as a young kid, and I can’t wait to share this love with my students. Thank you for bringing books to our classroom!”

  • Help our students learn and explore the world!

    Funded Dec 23, 2016

    I really can't thank you enough for the generous donation you have made to my classroom. In supporting this project, you have given students the opportunity to explore the world in a new and exciting way. The curriculum we have created that leads up to the tour asks students to question their views of the world, pushes their limits, and opens the door for new thought and exploration. Whether it was learning words in a new language, sampling foods they have never tried, or understanding the religious and cultural customs of a state so far away, it sometimes felt like another country - the students in inspired and in awe all year. In this way, we had begun the process of creating global citizens right up to the point that they were boarding the plane. Once abroad, watching the transformation within these students is absolutely inspiring. This is exactly what I was hoping to instill within my students; that constant curiosity that will drive them to success. I know my students have taken this experience and will use it as motivation for their future. I am already hearing plans of semesters abroad in college and majors in International Relations. I hope you understand the power of your gift and how truly thankful I am. I can't wait for these students to embark on this next tour, and come home a truly transformed group of young adults.”

  • Help My Students Gain Independence With After-School Programs!

    Funded Jan 15, 2017

    Thank you all so much for your incredible generosity. Because of your donation, our school library has been updated and can meet the needs of our students. Between the technology, the software materials, the updated storage and student furniture, or the books and journals that my students are anxious to jump into...you have truly changed their lives. We were so vastly behind the times, and were not able to serve our students at the level we strive for. This massive update is a game changer...a life changer.

    Whether your donation was big or small, it means so much. The amount of positivity and encouragement these small gifts made is unmatched. I really can't thank you enough for each smile you brought to the faces of my students.

    Thank you so much for helping to transform my classroom and our entire school into one where students can be creative, innovative, and confident while they learn!”

  • Tracking our Green Classroom While Learning How to Present!

    Funded Dec 23, 2016

    This past week, I got to watch my students as they got excited about their research projects. Since beginning this process and using the resources that we received with your support, the excitement in the classroom has continued to grow, just like their plants!

    Interdisciplinary learning is so important for today's students. They build more connections than we ever imagined possible because of the way technology has impacted their lives. So it is no surprise that when we give students opportunities to build those connections for themselves through experiential learning projects that we see that spark. Thank you for bringing that spark into my classroom.”

  • Help Us Green Up Our Oratory Presentation Videos!

    Funded Nov 8, 2016

    Thank you so much for supporting my classroom! This project is so important, as it gives students an opportunity to grow as speakers and performers, while still working to learn more about the importance of "living green!" The most amazing experience has been watching students get excited about using recycled materials to create something new. They've even decided to apply what they've learned to future theatrical productions! I cannot thank you enough for giving my students a sense of excitement and wonder as they learn about the world.”

  • Support Our Theater Department!

    Funded Sep 26, 2016

    Thank you so much for your generosity in support the arts! I cannot express to you how grateful I am to know that we have support from amazing donors like you to make performing arts a possibility at our school. As a result of your donation, students have been reading high-level scripts this year, and creating their own versions of these plays. With access to fabric and other design tools, students will be learning how to create costumes that reflect the characters they play and how to decorate a set using these materials.

    Thank you for showing these students that there is still value placed on the arts by many!”

Many of my students come from the neighborhood. They bring their lives outside of school with them into the classroom every day. On top of that, the amount of money being put into schools has drastically decreased. Despite these challenges, my students are continuously challenged and are looking for new ways to explore the world around them. They are constantly looking for new things to see, do, and experience. They question the world around them and never give up on finding an answer. I hope to share my love of learning with my students to help them discover what it is that they are passionate about.
