Snack, Print, and Learn: Support Our Classroom Needs!
Funded Mar 7, 2025I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous contribution to our classroom. Thanks to your support, we have received colored folders, printer ink, laminating sheets, and snacks, among others.
The colored folders will helpe us create differentiated instruction groups, for students to stay organized and on track. The printer ink will allow us to print worksheets and projects for students who don't have access to a printer at home. The laminating sheets will be used to laminate some of the projects to be posted around the classroom. Finally, the snacks will be provided as an incentive or reward to the students.
The students were thrilled when they first saw the boxes arriving in our class. Their eyes lit up with excitement especially when they saw and received the snacks! It was heartwarming to see their enthusiasm. Again thank you for your generosity, we truly appreciate it!”

Last Minute Classroom Needs...
Funded Aug 21, 2024Thank you so much for your generous contributions to our classroom. Your support has made a significant impact, and I'm excited to share how we're using the new resources.
The Healthy Snacks Package, Kar's Nuts Trail Mix, Pringles, and OREO variety packs have been a hit, providing energy and joy during classes. The HP ink cartridges have kept our printer running smoothly, allowing us to print colorful worksheets and handout materials. The binders have helped students organize their notes, and the tapes have been essential for various projects. The pencil boxes have reduced clutter and ensured easy access to supplies.
The students were thrilled with the new materials, expressing their gratitude with smiles. The snacks and organizational supplies were particularly well-received.
Your generosity has inspired a sense of community and support in our classroom. We are incredibly grateful.
Thank you once again for your kindness and support.”

Funded May 22, 2024I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous support of our project, "School Starter Kits: Equip Students for Success!" Through your funding, we received essential materials including easel posted pads, highlighters, laminating sheets, copy paper, folders for students, and more.
These materials have had a profound impact on my students in several ways. The easel posted pads will be instrumental in creating interactive and engaging lessons. Students will be more involved in class discussions and activities, which will significantly improve their understanding and retention of the material.
The folders and highlighters will help students stay organized and better prepared for their classes. This will not only boost their confidence but also their academic performance, as they will easily access and review their notes and assignments.
The laminating sheets will allow students to preserve their projects and presentations, giving them a sense of pride in their work. This will encourage them to put more effort into their assignments, knowing that their work will be showcased and protected.
The copy paper will ensured that all students have access to necessary handouts and worksheets, eliminating any barriers to learning due to a lack of resources. This will create a more equitable learning environment where every student has the tools they need to succeed.
Overall, your contribution will not only provide tangible resources but has also foster a positive and productive learning atmosphere. My students will be more engaged, organized, and motivated, and this is directly attributable to your generosity.
Thank you once again for your support. It will make a significant difference in the lives of my students, and we are deeply grateful.”

Funded Nov 28, 2023I posted my project, and it felt like a month or so later it funded! Soon after, I was called to my school office to pick up the first of several boxes I received. I was thrilled by the speed of your generous donations! As I received the boxes, I began sharing with my students who are always happy to get a snack. Since they know I have snacks for them, they are constantly asking me for a treat. So, sometimes I give it to them when I see they need a boost of energy, when they tell me they are hungry or when I want to reward them for a job well done or having a good day. Thank you again for your generous contributions and for making the last half of this school year full of yummy treats for which the students and I will be forever grateful!”

Funded Sep 21, 2022I received a box of treats while in class and when the students saw it, they were eager to know what it was. I told them what was inside and they were jumping with excitement and of course wanted a treat right away. I promised to give them some as a reward if they completed their work in its entirety and if they behaved.They did, so we opened the box together and I handed them some treats. Pictures of how grateful and happy they were, are attached.
On another occasion another box came in and something similar happened. I have been able to use the treats just as I intended. They are rewards, incentives and motivation for the students. I am happy that I have quantity and variety that I believe will last me a while. My students and I, thank you all so very much for your generous donation.”

Funded Jul 21, 2022When the teacher planning days came around in early August and I got to the school to set up my classroom, I was thrilled to find my classroom filled with the boxes from your generous donations! What a great way it was to start the year by organizing all the requested supplies and decorations! I quickly got to work organizing it all and making the room welcoming for my students. When school began, the students didn't know what was in store for them or that they would have a plethora of new materials to use. As soon as they walked into the classroom they noticed the colorful decorations and they loved the classroom's new look and feel. Since then, some of them have already told me my room is the nicest classroom they have. The students have also noticed I set up a designated place with new pencils, pens, paper, markers, among other things ordered, ready for them to use if needed. It is great to have supplies available and especially to be able to provide them to kids most in need who might not be able to buy them for themselves. Thank you again for your generous contributions and for making this school year full of wonderful resources for which the students and I will be forever grateful!”
