  • Project Prepared

    Funded May 5, 2025

    Wow! I am always amazed at your support of our students. You make a huge difference in their experiences. Now I can be sure that each student will be prepared for middle school next year. I am so eternally grateful for you and all of your encouragement. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

  • Symbols For All

    Funded Mar 25, 2025

    Thank you again, as always, for being an intregal part of these students' lives. I am eternally grateful for your support. It really does make a difference, and the fact that you are always supportive of us, specifically, restores my faith and passion in teaching. All students on campus will benefit from this project, but the time it will save me is invaluable. I can devote that time to my students and not my computer searching for what I need. You are a life-saver!”

  • Financial Road Maps

    Funded Sep 13, 2024

    Thank you for your unconditional and continued support! Students are using the bank books and budget workbooks to track and monitor their "bank accounts" as they cross the US on their road trips. They are quickly learning about the value of a dollar and the limits we have depending on our earning potential. Students are also getting a head start on positive and negative integers! This has been a great addition to the unit on adding and subtracting decimals.

    Students will be incurring additional costs as time goes on to make them aware of expenses often overlooked by children and young adults such as insurances, taxes, healthcare, etc. Many thanks to you for our student successes!”

  • Game Changer

    Funded May 19, 2024

    My students LOVE the games! Thefirst game they learned to play was Crazy 8s and continued for an hour! I've also shown them Yahtzee! and this week, they are learning Sorry!

    Each week they will learn to play a new card game, including forms of solitaire so they can play without a partner. My next step is to procure a set of cards and a set of dice to send with each student on Back to School Night. Parents will play games with their children in class and, hopefully, continue at home.

    We eternally grateful for all donors, including that at "Young Sheldon" on CBS!”

  • Below the Belt

    Funded Oct 17, 2022

    Thank you for helping our students in this underestimated, important way. Students have been able to return to the classroom rather than sitting in the office for hours waiting for clothes from parents.

    At the end of the year, after servicing several of my own students, the clothes were turned over to the nurse's office for use the next year. I was transferred to another campus and the items were required to stay at that site. The nurse was overjoyed at the donation - my students were not the only ones impacted by the lack of available clothing. The remaining items were used throughout the following year for nearly every grade level. The nurse's office is within view of the front door and all office traffic, making for a very embarrassing experience. These wonderful items have provided students with more self-respect and instructional time. Thank you again!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Newman

  • Puzzles and Dominoes and Learning, Oh My!

    Funded Dec 8, 2022

    Not only were my students able to use these activities last year, but since I am a teaching coach this year, many of the other classes have been able to use them in new and exciting ways! They have been life savers for us during rainy day schedule, with early finishers, social skills building, encouraging fine motor exercises, and a lot more!

    I'm looking forward to continuing this type of learning in the future with card games, puzzles, and board games! (Though I think the kids are more excited than anyone!)”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Newman

My school is an overflow school. This means that students who are kicked out of other schools, or pushed out due to lack of room are bussed to us. Many of our students do not receive support at home. This particular class has had a rough year and they have not had the exposure to science and history that they should. Many students do not receive meals at home and several more do not have access to books.
