The Show Must Go On!
Funded Feb 7, 2025On behalf of the students, staff, and entire school community, I want to extend our heartfelt thanks for your generous donation of materials for our production of Matilda Jr. Your support played an instrumental role in bringing our vision to life and creating an unforgettable experience for our young performers.
When we first set out to produce Matilda Jr., we knew it would be a special opportunity for our students—a chance to engage with storytelling, build confidence, and explore their creativity. What we didn't know was just how much the kindness and generosity of our extended community would shape the final result.
But your gift did more than help build a set or dress a stage. It gave our students the chance to shine. For many of them, this was their first experience performing in a theatrical production, and the confidence they gained will stay with them far beyond the final curtain call. You helped empower young voices, nurture emerging talents, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
We are truly grateful to count you as part of our community. Your support demonstrates what can happen when people come together to lift up young artists and inspire future storytellers. We hope you'll stay connected with us as we continue to grow our theater program and expand creative opportunities for our students.
Thank you once again for your kindness, your materials, and your belief in what we do. You helped make Matilda Jr. more than just a school play—you helped make it magic.”

Hispanic Heritage Celebration!
Funded Oct 18, 2024Thank you so much for supporting my students! Hispanic Heritage Day was a huge success because of all of the materials you helped provide.
Every year, my school ensures that students have memorable experiences in middle school. This is by far everyone's favorite day of the year.
Students were able to make their own guacamole while getting serenaded by a mariachi band. They used the plates and utensils provided to help them make their guacamole.
Please continue to support schools and teachers whenever you can! We cannot do what we do without your support.”

8th Grade Gets Organized
Funded Jan 3, 2024Thank you so much for supporting organization in our classroom. We are so excited to set up and use the back of chair organizers.
My students are middle schoolers, and they do not have lockers. Unfortunately, this means that they do not have a central location to keep all of their items. This causes some stress for students as well as disorganization.
One of the most important transferrable skills students learn in middle school is the ability to organize and be self sufficient. You donation is going to give them this great opportunity!
Thank you again for your kindness and generosity. The students of FGPA are forever grateful!”

They expressed that it is one of their favorite days of the year. We had so many leftover resources, and we will be able to use them to support our Cultural Feast as well. We are looking forward to having more celebrations this year all thanks to you!”

Senior Shirts
Funded May 17, 2023Thank you so much for your generous donations to our classroom community. We are so excited to use the irons and ironing paper in order to bring our t-shirt designs to life.
