• Let's Create!

  Funded Mar 27, 2024

  I can't begin to express the joy that you have brought to our classroom. The supplies were a huge hit with my students. They were so excited for Beach Day and Art Day. They were little artists with their paint by numbers canvas. Works of art were created with the Kinetic Sand. They loved working on previously taught skills in the dark. Hopefully, this will bring back fond memories of first grade when they look back. This group of students worked really hard and it was a pleasure to reward them for their hard work. I thank you and my students thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

  I can't begin to express the joy that you have brought to our classroom. The supplies were a huge hit with my students. They were so excited for Glow Day and Art Day.

• Building Readers

  Funded Mar 30, 2023

  I can't begin to express the joy that you have brought to our classroom. The decodable books are amazing. They have helped our most struggling students become confident readers. They were so excited to finally have fun and engaging books they could read independently. Students read independently for thirty minutes daily. The time has become more enjoyable for them Thanks to your generosity, we are developing great readers and thinkers. I thank you and my students thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

• The Meeting Spot Too

  Funded Aug 3, 2023

  I can't begin to express the joy that you have brought to our classroom. The rug is amazing. It has been a huge hit with my students. They were so excited when it finally arrived because we started the year without a rug. We meet as a whole on the rug and students spend time there during centers. It really is a space for sharing ideas. It definitely is a comfortable and cozy spot. Thanks to your generosity, we now have the missing piece to our classroom. I thank you and my students thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

• Tools for Math

  Funded Feb 8, 2023

  Thank you for providing my students with hands-on learning experiences. These math manipulatives have supported students in understanding math processes and procedures. These resources have made math more engaging and the students more successful. We are also grateful for the afternoon snacks that kept students going long after their lunch had left their little tummies. This gave them the perfect amount of energy needed to dive into math instruction. Thank you again for your kindness, it is truly appreciated.”

• Wiggle While We Work

  Funded Aug 9, 2022

  I can't begin to express the joy that you have brought to our classroom. The wobble stools and reading resources have been a huge hit with my students so far. Thanks to your generosity, students have more seating options. It is hard for tiny humans to stay focused with so much instructional time. Having the opportunity to get the wiggles out as they work has allowed them to remain focused on their tasks. The reading manipulatives and phonics books have strengthened their decoding skills. I thank you and my students thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”
