  • Apple iPad for the Podcast!

    Funded Feb 24, 2025

    My student has a bi weekly podcast. He is so excited to host this podcast. He has so many guest set up to interview. This is something that he wanted to do, yet there were road blocks set up that didn't stop him, yet it slowed him down.

    This I- pad is one of the items that slowed him down and because of generous people, that roadblock got a little smaller and a smile on a students face got a little wider. This I-pad will allow the student to perform the necessary editing that is needed to bring proper content to his viewers. Thank you is in order and it is served your way. Once again Thank you.”

  • Sweet and Savory Student Success!

    Funded Aug 1, 2023

    Let me start by saying thank you for your donation. The hotdog machine and cotton candy machine are both huge hits among students on the elementary level. Words cannot express the joy on the faces of scholars that partake in eating hotdogs and cotton candy.

    Your donation has helped to make the end of year activities such as end of year carnival and end of year bar b que worth every penny. So many scholars love looking at both machines in awe, with joy and happiness of knowing that this machine is not a machine that will have to be returned to a company as it has been on a number of previous occasions but a machine they know will be here next school year waiting for every activity it is used for.

    Once again I say thank you.”

  • Gaming and Learning

    Funded May 24, 2024

    Thank you is in order for generous donations. The smile on the faces of the Boys 2 men group is priceless.

    The group could not stop smiling. They hurried and plugged in the device and started to explore the many games that come with this device. Surprisingly, the game of the day was chess. The group was working and thinking. That is something I express to the unit constantly. I express to this unit they have to work together to get jobs done. The chess game seems to be pushing that point.

    I gave the captain of the group the opportunity of opening the box to capture the excitement of seeing what he saw. This opportunity would not have been possible without the donation of individuals. I strongly send thank you to the CBS television show "YOUNG SHELDON" for funding this project. YOU ROCK!!!”

  • An Aquarium Is Where the Fish Are!

    Funded Nov 29, 2023

    Thank you for your donation of my project. The idea of getting a fish tank in the classroom was a perfect idea. This tank is a perfect fit for our classroom. The smiles on the faces of the class are unmeasurable. I cannot explain the smile, excitement and joy that filled the room upon opening the box and the scholars noticed a fish tank. They jumped for joy and wanted the fish to be put into the tank immediately. lol. I had to explain how the fish tank works and we could not just put fish in the tank right away. Thank you again for the fish tank as I jumped into science with it.”

  • Print It!

    Funded Jan 7, 2024

    Thank you for your donation of this project. Teachers often need copies at the last minute. Most times you do not have time to run to the copy machine and often when you do run with just a second to spare there is a line of 2 or 3 people and sometimes more.

    This printer will allow me to make a copy at the last moment without skipping a beat. This machine copies, prints and scans, you cannot ask for anything better than that. It makes it so convenient. This is a project that I will not regret for years to come.”

    Mr. Jones

  • Picture Perfect!

    Funded Dec 14, 2023

    Thank you for your donation. The camera is the perfect fit for my photography club. The scholars of the photography club are excited as they snap pictures with this new camera. This product not only put a smile on their faces, it helps with self-esteem as they began to walk in their purpose of becoming a photographer. There is a fuss over the 2 cameras because everyone wants to use it.

    Although that is a headache, it's also a good thing. Scholars take good care of the cameras. They know how to hold it, when they are finish using it they do not hesitate to place it ever so gently in the bag that came with the camera. Once again, I thank you for your generous donation.”

The items l am requesting will service the scholars in my class in a number of ways. The main purpose is to provide seating for the guided reading station. Guided reading station, is a station where 4 -5 (possible more) scholars are seated at a table reading, decoding and more. Scholars are grouped by levels and meet periodically through the week to get that extra support to build a stronger literacy comprehension. The items will service the conference station where the teacher and scholar will conference about work that may need a one to one guidance through the week or weeks.
