  • Hydrated and Ready to Work!

    Funded Apr 13, 2025

    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Thank you so much for the many donations to my students and our classroom. Students come to class saying they are thirsty all day everyday. The water, juice and Gatorade have been put to good use especially since it has been so HOT. I have also been able to use it as an incentive as well for different activities in class. The students are always looking for something to keep them hydrated. I am glad that I am able to provide that to my students. My students and I were very excited to know that our project was funded. Continue to do great things when it comes to teachers and students. What you do , do not go unnoticed. Thank you again!!!”

  • Laptop To Stay on Top Of Assignments!

    Funded Nov 18, 2024

    Thank you to your many donations. The Laptop that was donated had helped out tremendously in class. My students have been able to do research, take test and many other wonderful things. My students enjoy the fact they have technology at their fingertips. Most of my students are tech savvy, for the ones that are not they are able to learn and get help from not only me but my students as well.

    I am just thankful that we are able to research within our class. That you for your generosity and this most definitely hasn't gone unnoticed. We do have another great project in the making and can't wait for it to get funded!”

My class is a space buzzing with curiosity, creativity, and the quiet (and sometimes not-so-quiet). My students are a vibrant, diverse group of thinkers and dreamers. Whether we’re diving into classic literature, exploring current events through essays, or learning to express ourselves through poetry and storytelling, each day is a journey of growth. Some are quiet readers who come alive during discussions, a few are still learning to find their voice. They’re supported, encouraged, and seen. We’re building more than reading and writing skills ,we’re building confidence, empathy, and the ability to think critically and communicate clearly. With your support, we can provide the materials, and tools that will make this classroom a place of learning and a place of transformation. Help us create opportunities that inspire, challenge, and uplift. Thank you for believing in our students and in the power of stories.
