• Postive Behavior Equals Positive Incentives!

  Funded Oct 11, 2024

  Thank you so much for your generosity. My students are extremely excited for all the fun incentives! When I shared the materials with the class there were cheers and many smiles. The students are working hard to earn the prize treasure box so that they can choose from the positive rewards. Because of your kindness and generosity, my students are working harder and staying focused to help to earn these awesome rewards.

  I truly believe that it takes a village and as a teacher it is truer than ever. We do not get into education for the money but for the love of it. With help from individuals like you it truly helps us do what we love so thank you so much for choosing to help out!”

• Let's Start the Year Off Right

  Funded Aug 12, 2024

  First I want to say thank you for your generosity. I truly feel like it takes a village and by having the support of the community I am better able to provide for my classroom of littles. The materials that arrived from the project have been extremely helpful. My students have been so excited to have crayons, markers, pencils and scissors to use on a daily basis. They are excited to have the large box of crayons to pull from when they are in need of a certain color. It has been extremely beneficial because some of our students come with zero supplies.

  Other products like the tissues, air filters and first aid kits have been an amazing addition to the classroom. They are helping to keep us healthy so that we do not have to miss school. With cold season right around the corner these tissues and the air filter have become essential.

  Once again thank you for helping start our year out with much needed materials!”

• Summertime Here We Come

  Funded May 10, 2024

  Thank you so much for your generosity and willingness to help support my students. Your donations were essential on sending my students off for the summer. They truly were exited to end 1st grade and your donations helped to give them more excitement.

  Thank you for helping me to give the students a huge send off with fun activities for the to do over the summer. The boys loved their footballs while the girls were very excited for their jump ropes. The water bottles were a great addition to field day, especially since I put their names on them.

  These materials were an amazing addition to our end of the year festivities!”

• Learning About Butterfly Life Cycles

  Thank you so much for your generosity!! The whole first grade team and student body really appreciates your support and donation. The student excitement was high when we received our butterfly kits and the excitement continued on as we are watching them go through the stages of their life cycle. We are documenting and having discussions about each stage and we are so excited to watch as they break free from their Pupa and become beautiful butterflies!

• Headphones for All

  Funded Mar 31, 2024

  Thank you for your generosity. My students and I were extremely excited to receive our new class set of headphones. We work on tablets throughout the day to practice several of our concepts. Our headphones helped us to minimize the noise levels within the classroom so students working off the tablets are able to focus more.

  Also, these headphones are a great help in our classroom and making sure all students are prepared for learning. With the end of the school year fastly approaching we will be having End of Year Testing. These tests are on iPad or Chromebook so having a class set of headphones allows students the ability to focus more on their assessment.

  Once again thank you for the taking the time to choose to donate to our classroom. We are extremely grateful.”

• Fun in Small Groups!

  Funded Dec 20, 2023

  Thank you so much for your generosity. We appreciate your support to help guide our education.

  These materials have been a great addition to our classroom. The play doh was awesome. It helped us complete our class science fair project. We built models to show why we need bones. We used straws as bones ans put playdoh around it and then we built people without the bones (straws). Students were amazed at how the nonstraw people fell over immediately. It was a great learning experience.

  The magnet blocks and the Legos are a huge hit for centers. The class loves them. Those centers have become a favorite!

  Thank you again for all.your support!”

• Classroom Essentials

  Funded Dec 29, 2022

  Thank you so much for you support and dedication to education. My students have benefited from the materials that were donated to our classroom. The headphones, paper towels and tissues were a hit!!

  My students were so excited to have their own individual headphones. These head phones have given them to read their own individualized leveled readers through our reading apps as well as participate in other apps without distracting those around them. Also, with testing coming around the students are able to focus on their assessment instead of those around them.

  The tissues, paper towels and wipes have been amazing to have in our classroom. Students are able to keep their spaces clean and orderly. The tissues are great to have due to constants illness during this time of year.

  Once again thank you for your generosity! We appreciate the support of those in the community!”

• Keeping Warm and Safe!

  Funded Jan 21, 2022

  They say it takes a village so I would like to take the time to say thank you for your kindness and generosity. My students were extremely excited to get gloves and hats for the cold mornings. Some expressed the need for them and wear them daily. The smiles on their faces were priceless. The masks were an amazing addition to our day as well. I loved seeing the excitement when they got the masks and how they were all ready to wear them. Thank you for helping my students stay warm and safe. We appreciate you and all you have done to help us out!”
