  • Cool New School Year!!!

    Funded Aug 2, 2023

    Thank you so much for your donation. Your donation toward the ice machine will put huge smiles on the faces on young scholars.

    This machine will be utalized for various reasons such 100% attendance parties, afterschool activites, grade barbque and so much more.

    I am so excited to enjoy some nice refreshing ices from this machine. I had an assembly as I opened the box and the roar of the scholars was amazing, they wanted to use the machine right there and now. Once again I thank you for helping me reach this goal.”

  • Safe Trunk or Treat!

    Funded Jul 13, 2023

    The trunk or treat project was a great addition to the trunk or treat parade my school participates in annually. Scholars walked from car trunk to car trunk getting goodies.

    This event was a safe activity for the scholars. Living in the world today, scholars of a certain age need the understanding that safety is a great concern and priority.

    This project helped aid in that avenue. Some children do not get to go out trick or treating. This project helped with that. So, parents can be pleased and calm knowing their child is in a safe environment while trick or treating.”

  • Smile for the camera.......Click, Click, Click

    Funded Nov 15, 2023

    The elementary photography club have a permanent smile on their faces. They are so eager to snap pictures for everything, every event. They club love the way the camera has auto focus. They are learning so much about the cameras. They are so particular with the cameras making sure they don't fall or the lens cap goes on when not in use to prevent scratches to the lens. They are so proud of the cameras and they are taking pictures and learning so much about photography as they connect lessons to the cameras that you have sent.

    Scholars in the photography club continue to speak to friends to encourage them to join the photography club so they can teach them about the cameras and photography in general. I have noticed the photography club have a more sense of pride in work other than photography because they know that you have to maintain good grade and citizenship to remain in the club.

    Once again, I thank you for putting a smile on the faces of future photographers. Please know that your product is awesome and my photography club loves it.”

  • Popping New School Year

    Funded Aug 21, 2023

    Thank you for this popcorn machine. Scholars are excited to see the popcorn machine. As we began the new school year, I have set so many excited events that the popcorn machine will play a major role in.

    Scholars are extremely excited and ready to pull out the popcorn machine and have it ready for such events as the 100% attendance party, best behavior party, student movie night.

    Scholars are planning more events on their own to utilize this machine. So many have taken pictures with the popcorn machine even before it is taken out of the box.”

  • Strike a Pose It's Camera Time

    Funded Aug 31, 2023

    Thank you again for your generous donation. My photography club members are hard at work snapping pictures for a various reason this school year. We have a number of events scheduled and the scholars are extremely excited to get to shine as they snap pictures of events such as: Holiday assemblies, spirit week, trunk or treat.

    They have observed the cameras to learn what the many functions are. Being Jr. photographers have helped build self-esteem and plant a seed that will help them grow as they learn and understand the world of photography.”

  • Meta Verse and Beyond

    Funded Jul 19, 2023

    Thank you for your generous donation. Because of what you did, you have put smiles on faces of scholars that are venturing into the meta verse. My scholars work so hard on lessons and the Oculus help further that lesson. Scholars are supported in reading skills with virtual stories that help mold minds.

    The scholars love to play games on it as well. That, as I'm sure you know is their favorite. Scholars love to play games on the oculus. It promotes team building, team work, sharing and responsibility. Again I say thank you.”

  • Heading to the Metaverse!

    Funded Jul 2, 2023

    Thank you again for helping fund my projects. The smiles on the faces of the scholars that venture into the meta-verse is priceless.

    The scholars enjoy many avenues of the oculus. They enjoy reading books through lessons and of course their favorite..... playing games. This Oculus has helped in so many ways. Team building in the areas of sharing and teamwork and so much more. This funded project has been a "game" changer in my classroom. I must admit I have ventured some in the metaverse as well. Once again, I thank you so much.”

  • Big Comfy Scholar Reading Chair

    Funded May 17, 2023

    My scholars are enjoying the " Big Comfy Scholar Reading Chair". My entire class jumps at the chance to sit in the chair and read. This project has fueled my scholars engines for reading. There is always a line of scholars waiting to jump in the chair and venture into another world through reading while sitting comfy in the chair.

    Sitting in this chair gives my scholars a sense of pride and maturity. They sit in it and do not want to get out of it. You made that happen. Thank you for all you do.”

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.
