  • Let's Vacuum Up the Dust Bunnies

    Funded Oct 11, 2023

    We know the kiddos bring in half the playground every time we come in from recess, and this new vacuum has been a blessing to help us keep the dust at a minimum. The coughing and sneezing have been reduced, and the general appearance of the room is much better. Kids aren't afraid to sit on the carpet and get dirty any longer and it is all because of your generous donations. Thank you for continuing to believe in the work that we do on our campus. Our students and staff are grateful for your support.”

  • Book Vending Machine Refill Yet Again

    Funded Apr 20, 2023

    These projects to refill our book vending machine are my favorite ones because we are using that machine to expose our kids to new authors and help them grow a love for reading. The greatest parts of our book vending machine program are that any child can receive a book. We vend books to our pre-kindergarteners all the way up through our fifth graders, so our book selection is widely varied. Our goal is to be able to vend books more often, and in order to achieve that goal, we need to continually refill the machine with new and exciting titles that the kids want to read. We cannot wait for every child to get the chance to go to the book vending machine and get a brand new book of their own to keep and take home. Thank you for your generosity in helping our kids build a love of reading.”

  • Recess Is More Fun With Equipment

    Funded Jul 28, 2023

    Starting off the new school year with items to play with during recess is such a blessing. Thank you to our amazing donors who thought that this project was worth it. Our playground is pretty outdated, and the kids do a good job being imaginative with their play. But there is just something about being able to go out and catch a ball, or scoop and toss. Some of my kids had never seen a frisbee before. It was such a fun time, and we cannot wait until this crazy Texas heat slows down so we can have more time outside. My kids and I are grateful for your generosity, thank you again.”

  • Back to School Supplies 2023-2024

    Funded Jun 9, 2023

    I cannot even begin to express to you the joy of starting the school year with every child having all the supplies they need on the very first day. On my campus, so many students arrive at school on the first day empty handed. They are embarrassed and ashamed that they could not afford the basic supplies on our list for the year.

    So it is such a blessing to get to support the learners in my class with everything from pencils and dry erase markers to library zipper pouch bags and page protectors for high use items. The crayons, zipper pouches and scissors are extra fantastic because they are good quality and will last a long time.

    Thank you, as always, for your continued generosity. For believing in the work that we do, and supporting my class. It means the world to me that you would help us out.”

  • Clean Clothes Make Students Succeed

    Funded Feb 24, 2023

    This project was all the supplies that we would need to be able to run our brand new DonorsChoose washer and dryer. We have been on hold for getting the washer and dryer installed due to some financial hoops we had to cross, so these items have been waiting to be used. We got our washer and dryer installed last week, and this week we had our first chance to use the detergent and fabric softener. Thank you for supporting our students, helping them get clean and be ready to learn in class. We could not do the work that we do in class, if it was not for the generosity of donors like yourselves. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for blessing our campus with these items to keep our kiddos clean.”

  • Book Favorites to Fill Our Vending Machine

    Funded Mar 30, 2023

    Every time we get a new shipment of books for our vending machine, the students are over the moon excited to see what new titles are going to be placed onto the shelves first. These favorites are always a crowd pleaser, and this refill was no exception. It is heartwarming to see that our students are beginning to learn to love reading. We know that their love of reading can take them places, but it is through your generosity that they are able to travel to new and different worlds of the books that are available to be theirs forever. Thank you for continuing to support our school and the mission to teach our children to love to read. We could not do what we do, without the help of amazing donors like you.”

  • Clean Clothes Make Happy Students

    Funded Dec 6, 2022

    This project has been months in the making, and boy are we glad we were able to finally get it all together. We funded this washer and dryer back in November, then got the brakes put on the installation from our district. They were asking for more money than the cost of the washer and dryer to actually install it at our campus and we just didn't have that kind of money in the right accounts to support the installation of the washer and dryer. We needed plumbers and electricians and maintenance staff to be paid in order for this project to really come to fruition.

    After Spring Break the district was ready to put the money into the right accounts, to send the plumbers and the electricians, to clear the closet space, and drill the holes and prep the lines and install the washer and dryer. This week we had our first need for use after a muddy accident on the soccer field.

    Thanks to donors like you, our students have the dignity to have clean clothes and remain in the classroom to learn while their clothes get cleaned. Thank you for your continued generosity to our students. We appreciate your support.”

  • Readers Are Leaders - Refill Our Machine

    Funded Jan 1, 2023

    When we got our book vending machine, our goal was to ensure that all of our students really got a chance to learn what it is like to find a love for reading. We believe that kids who love to read will make great leaders of the future. To that end, we are invested in providing new, free books for all of our students throughout the school year. These new books in their hands are the key that unlocks the love of learning for the rest of their lives. We are grateful that you continue to shower us with the generosity that the kids deserve to fulfill our book vending machine projects time and time again. Thank you for all you do for us!”

  • Clean Rooms Keep Kids in Class

    Funded Nov 29, 2022

    What a blessing you continue to be to me and my students. Cleaning supplies on our campus are few and far between. So when this project was funded, the kids were super excited because they get to participate in the cleaning every week.

    But what is most funny is that they were probably most excited about the Kleenex. Who would have thought that first graders could be so excited about tissues? Well have you ever used the brown paper towels from the dispenser to wipe your nose? That's why they were so excited.

    Thank you for continuing to support my students, and allowing us the chance to stay clean and healthy through your donations to this project.”

  • Another Book Vending Machine Refill #4

    Funded Apr 7, 2022

    The kids are so grateful for your continued support and donations. We have been able to vend more books this school year than ever before, thanks to the generosity of donors like yourselves.

    Thank you for continuing to believe in our students and helping get books into their hands. We want our students to become readers. We know that helps create leaders. These popular titles are a HUGE hit in the vending machine and almost always sell out as soon as they're placed in the machine.

    Thank you for supporting our school and our mission to create a community who values learning though reading.”

My students are 1st graders and they love to read. These kids come from families where education is highly valued. As a teacher in this area, I realize that many times the experiences in my classroom will be life changing for some of my students. Therefore I try to assure that my class is both engaging and fun, relevant and realistic in an effort to show my students that learning never stops.
