• Calm Corner

  Funded Mar 13, 2023

  The supplies you help to fund to create a calm area for my students are helping them find tranquility and moments to center themselves whenever they are feeling low on positive vibrations or energy. My students love to go to the center and use the pillows, find their balance and refresh their emotions, and use breathing techniques to level their feelings. They can use the sensory toys, use the cuddly stuffies, and also doodle away when they are not at their best. They also love to get to grab a book and relax to read and drift into an imaginary world. Thank you for providing Social-Emotional care for my 5th graders!”

• Watter Bottles are Cool for School

  Funded Sep 21, 2022

  My students are very grateful to count on your support! Having their own portable hydro flasks to use daily while learning and being active in class is important for them. They can be focused and stay hydrated every day! My students are very active and are involved in many activities and sports. Having their hydro flasks filled with fresh water at the go keeps them healthy, as well as allows them to help reduce or completely eliminate the use of plastic bottles. My students care about climate change, recycling, reducing waste, and protecting their environment. Because of your donations, they are able to contribute to reducing excess plastic waste and practicing healthy habits. During class lessons, trips to the water fountains are minimized because now my students have access to drinking water within their reach. Your support means a lot to my students, and we all thank you very much for your altruistic support!”

• Hear Me Clearly, See Me Shine!

  Funded Feb 2, 2022

  Wow! My students are very happy to be getting wireless voice amplifiers to use during share, circle time, explaining their thought processes as they understand and solve problems, and making contributions to class discussions. My introverted, shy students will get a boost in amplifying their voice as they engage and cooperate in our daily lesson, without having to strain their confidence. Also, the art supplies you help fund for my class will be making a positive impact as they express their artistic voices into art projects and art lessons they will engage in. Art has been a therapeutic medium my students submerge into as we maneuver these pandemic stressful times. Your donations are providing the means needed for my students to have positive changes and outlets for socio-emotional learning. Thank you very much!”

Also, the see-through clear protective masks will help my hard-of-hearing students see speech produced to help them read lips and understand class lessons.
