  • Renew Crew: Community Support

    Funded Dec 3, 2024

    Thank you so much for your contribution to this project. With your support, students were able to paint cans, tie ribbons around them, and fill them with the requested items. Staff members then delivered these cans to downtown Charlottesville to distribute to individuals without supplies or homes.

    The recipients were deeply grateful. Your contribution not only made a difference for the students but also positively impacted the greater Charlottesville community. It was truly heartwarming to witness the joy of giving.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Woodson

  • Welcome Back! Creating the Space

    Funded Jul 13, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generous contributions to our classroom! The pencil holders have been a game-changer, ensuring that we are always prepared and organized for learning. Having a designated place for our supplies has made a noticeable difference in the classroom, helping students stay on track and ready to engage in their lessons. The organizational materials have been key in fostering a more productive environment, and we are truly grateful for how they've helped us succeed.

    Additionally, the snacks you provided have been a wonderful support for students who need a little boost to stay focused during the day. They help ensure that everyone can concentrate and get into their learning groove. Your kindness has made our classroom a better place, and we are all so thankful for the impact you've made on our learning experience!”

  • Test Prep and Snacks

    Funded Feb 21, 2024

    We are grateful for your kind donations. With the donations, we were able to get snacks that will aid us through the month of test prep. We will use the SOL practice book to review passages and questions together.

    When the boxes arrived, students quickly asked, "Is that for you or us?" I told them they had to wait to see. I am super excited to share this fun project with them along with the inspiration.

    Again, I am so grateful for your support. Thank you for funding our project. Also, thank you for all that you do for students!”

    Mr. Woodson

  • Unlocking Potential: Equipping Students and Empowering Educators

    Funded Aug 2, 2023

    Thank you for helping me create such an inviting classroom for my students. They love having the choice to select the books they want to read. One of the greatest benefits is that, as we work with a highly English Language proficient population, they also have access to texts in their home language.

    Middle school presents new challenges for incoming students. On the first day, one of my students expressed their dislike for reading. However, thanks to this project, they have now started reading a series of books! I am grateful for your assistance.

    Without your support, none of this would have been possible.”

  • Winter Break Fun!

    Funded Dec 5, 2022

    Thank you much for donating and supporting our project! On Friday December 16,2022 my fourth graders, walked away excited to receive games and a book to have over the winter break! I recall one of my students very excited as they would teach their younger sibling how to play connect 4 and host a family tournament while out on break!

    Our families are so grateful for your support! I am very excited to hear about the impact of the two items over break.

    Again, thank you so much for the support and allowing our students to have something to look forward to!”

  • School Supplies for Success!

    Funded Jul 23, 2022

    Again, Thank you so much for funding our project! It amazes me that we were able to ask and receive. Our students, student-teacher, and myself will all benefit greatly from your contribution to our class community.

    As we await the arrival of the first day of school, we will begin crafting fun and engaging lessons for our students. We are excited to introduce literacy through a multicultural lens where we will introduce talk about culture, and how to find value in different perspectives that we uncover. We will use books funded in this project to do this!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Woodson

  • Helping Our Makers of Tomorrow!

    Funded Feb 22, 2022

    Thank you so much for you kind contributions - our students are loving the books (diverse books for all learners), computer charging stations (students are able to have fully charged computers to begin each day), and the fun play doh and games to help facilitate with student learning! Our students are thrilled about the book sets such as "Dog Man"! We put them out for students to see and they were picked up within minutes! Students are thrilled to have these books in our classroom library!

    Again, we are so grateful for your support!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Woodson

The materials and supplies requested will allow for a more diverse classroom library, so that students are able to see themselves as they read books of their choice. Students will be able to have more organization with their laptops as they struggle daily to have a charged laptop. Having that resource in our class will allow students to be ready for the day ahead with a battery of 100%. Having diverse books, and comfortable seating, and tech supplies for students will allow them to not only be ready for the learning day, but to conquer the academic day! Each day we allow students time to read and the end of that time they are most not ready to move on because they are "hooked" in their physical books, or online stories being read. We love that my students have such a passion for reading and wanting to learn to read.
