Funded Jul 23, 2024We are incredibly grateful for your generous donation of ink for our Poster Printer. Your support is instrumental in helping us create vibrant and engaging educational materials for our students at Jonesboro Middle School. With your contribution, we can produce high-quality posters that enhance our learning environment, making it more dynamic and visually stimulating.

Bears Being the Voice!
Funded Feb 24, 2024Thank you so much for your generous donations. The technology donated is helping our donors "Be The Voice" against bullying by ensuring that they understand how to make their voices known through posters and printing accesses. Having such availability of technological resources leads them to connect with other online resources to spread the word even further beyond the school walls.
The poster printer ink and the laminating film excites the students to create new ideas for production and everlasting style in their messages. For example, they have created many posters which has led them to create videos and other examples of efforts against bullying using resources online for production.
The particular students who appreciate this technology the most include the ones who are shy or who have been most affected by actions of bullying. To know that they can see their own power to fight back against it using additional resources and connections fuels their technological strengths and their social-emotional learning. These technological resources have impacted in more ways beyond their basic usage. Thank you again.”

Funded Jan 8, 2024Thank you so much for supplying the much-needed snacks for our school students, the JMS Bears! Each day these students diligently serve others in the regard of literacy services in the media center. They work tirelessly to make sure all products and services are available to all patrons. The snacks provided grant each student an extra boost of energy as a thank you for their hard work.
The students were so grateful to see that we had a surplus of 400 chips available to consume for their future needs. Again, it gave them an extra boost of encouragement and they were even more ready to work knowing that they could see their appreciation granted to them.
As we conclude the school year, our next goal in the media center is to prepare all services and products for the upcoming school year. Thank you thank you again for your very generous donations!”

Funded Nov 18, 2023The bellies of the media center helpers and many others are most grateful for your support in purchasing their snacks. In fact, once they arrived, they were most eager to get to work to eat. Students who know that they are supported for their efforts will try to go above and beyond the call of duty when they are recognized.
Please please continue to bless students like the students who serve and study while in school. This effort that you have made will encourage them to be good stewards and serve the community with help and other aids that they can support.”

Funded Oct 31, 2023Thank you so much for helping our library become more and more orderly. The moment that the Shark vacuum arrived it was immediately used to service the media center. It works so efficiently for our media center space. The Shark vacuum encourages the students to be absolutely astute about cleanliness when they see it operation. They even remind me with excitement to turn it on for use.
The labels for the Brother machine have given students a newfound appreciation for the books that are circulated in the media center. They know the process of work involved in labeling each book and ensure other students do not remove the labels carelessly.”

Funded Oct 11, 2023Gracias, gracias, gracias! I am so grateful that you have helped increase our supply of Spanish language books for the students here at Jonesboro Middle School. Now, newly-arriving students who mainly speak Spanish are able to choose from popular selections and become comfortable and acclimated with the media center. For many of our students, the selection of such books eases their nervousness upon being in such a different school in America. They can look at books like Hombre Perro or Diario de Greg and feel a sense of understanding.
Again, these selections of Spanish-language books are such a blessing to these wonderful students. Thank you for giving them the opportunity to see themselves in the books on the shelves and to feel more at home in their new school, Jonesboro Middle!”

Funded Sep 17, 2023I can't express to you how wonderful your donation of books is for our students here at Jonesboro Middle School. When students enter the media center, they arrive with enthusiasm and are so anxious to read the many different colorful selections. They love that there are actually eleven books in the Dog Man series which they can choose to read. They speed to the display of books to choose from Captain Underpants books 1-12.
And the girls are so grateful to see all of the Dork Diaries.
Thank you for supporting our efforts in literacy. You have made this media specialist's heart warm with hope for our students' growth in reading. Their interests are peaked and will excel to the sky because they have an interest in reading in the media center. Yay for Books for the Bears!”
