Positive Encouragement Develops Positive Outcome
Funded Aug 21, 2024I sincerely thank you for the generous incentives you have provided to support my student's social and academic development. These rewards have proven to be an effective tool in motivating my students to demonstrate exemplary behavior and achieve academic excellence in everything that put their minds into. Your thoughtful donation has fostered a positive and engaging learning environment in my classroom. They are so eager to complete assignments, follow classroom rules, and support each other in the classroom. I am confident that my students will continue to use these incentives to reach their full potential. We are truly honored by your generosity and commitment to our students' success.”

Funded Jan 12, 2024I do not have the words to express my gratitude for your support of our project. I try to provide as many opportunities to my students as I can, and your support made it possible for me to continue to do this every day. My students were so excited, and the pictures can tell the story of how much. The chair cover that you provided for my students allowed them to organize their materials and promote great daily study habits. Students can find homework folders, calendars, agendas, and day-to-day worksheets faster with these covers that hold these and other essentials. These chair covers have been a great solution for our rooms with minimal storage. My students benefit from having their materials available at their table, preventing lost items, and providing organization to our daily notebooks and workbooks. Without the generous support of kind donors like you, I could not provide these vital supplies to my wonderful students. I appreciate your generosity, THANK YOU!!!.”

Funded Aug 2, 2023We are so appreciative of the support you provided by donating to our project and replenishing our Classroom Treasure Box. Each week the students have the opportunity to earn a chance to pick a reward out of our Classroom Treasure Box. Students work hard all week to reach their academic and behavioral goals. This is a fun routine that we have and it really encourages them to try hard to get all of their work completed during the week and to show positive responsible behaviors in all areas, academically and socially.
All of the items on my project were some of my students' favorite prizes. You helped me bring some happiness and a smile to my student's face. I work in a low-income school and these prizes mean a lot to them. Your donation definitely builds self-esteem and confidence in my classroom. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for donating to my project.”

Funded Aug 9, 2022We wanted to thank you for your kindness and generosity in donating to our project "Hands-On to Build Language Skills" We want you to know that we are truly grateful and we do not have enough words to thank you for your contribution. These resources gave my students the opportunity to build strong reading skills by identifying upper and lowercase letters, understanding letter-sound correspondence, and using letters to form words. The double-sided magnetic tiles are a fun hands-on way to build language skills and my students enjoy working with them. As a teacher, it is extremely rewarding to see that others are willing to help us give the best to my students. I cannot do it alone and I'm lucky to say that you are by our side supporting us. Thank you and may you receive much much more to give to others.”

Funded May 4, 2022We wanted to thank you for your kindness and generosity in donating to our project "Stress and Anxiety Relief". We want you to know that we are truly grateful and we have not enough words to thank you for your contribution. These resources have been of great use in the classroom. Having kinesthetic tools and flexible seating for sure meets our needs during independent work. We use them throughout the day and it has become easier for students to choose the balance ball chair to increase productivity and focus in their tasks. During stress-out moments, students have the tools to move in an independent area and manage their stress utilizing self-regulation hands-on materials. We thank you for keeping us in mind. As a teacher, it is extremely rewarding to see that others are willing to help us give the best to my students. I cannot do it alone and I'm lucky to say that you are by our side supporting us. Thank you and may you receive much much more to give to others.”

Funded May 4, 2022We wanted to thank you for your kindness and generosity in donating to our project "Explore Freely to create new ideas" We want you to know that we are truly grateful and we do not have enough words to thank you for your contribution. These resources gave my students the opportunity to explore freely without judgment during our indoor recess and free time. It developed new ideas on how they work and encouraged my students to think critically about how to solve problems together. We thank you for keeping us in mind.

Funded Jun 8, 2020Thank You so much for making this project possible for my wonderful students. Sadly, we left and we never were able to return to school due to the Covid-19 school closures. I received our project materials at home toward the end of May. I was able to share some photos of my students receiving their materials at home. They were so happy to know that so many people supported them and helped fund our project. The district took a while to organize the distribution of Chrome books and because you care to help, my students had journals and materials to continue with their learning at home. Thank you so much for your generosity!”

When Alone, Bored at Home, I Can WRITE !
Funded May 14, 2020Thank you so much for making this project possible for my wonderful first-grade students. Sadly, we left and we never were able to return to school due to the COVID-19 school closures. I received our project materials at home towards the end of April. I was able to share some photos of my students receiving their letters. They were happy to know that so many people supported them and helped fund our project. The district took a while to organize the distribution of chrome books and because you care to help, we wrote letters back and forth. Thanks to your generosity my students were able to continue their academic learning at home by writing letters to me and reading my letters. Once again thank you so much!”
