• Middle School Volleyball Needs for a Brand New Team!

  Funded Aug 26, 2022

  We can not thank you enough for your generosity and kindness. The snacks and other volleyball essentials literally made our season! Due to busing issues students who wanted to play had to stay after school until games started some at 6pm leaving many students here for 10 plus hours. Your snacks truly were a game changer! It game them something to look forward to at team practices and meetings and gave them the energy they needed for a winning season. It meant so much to them.

  The knee pads and sports attire gave the students without the confidence to come out and play because they knew their needs were met and didn't feel left out.

  Your generosity even totally changed the life paths of at least 2 of our students who then went on to play Varsity at major high schools and now want to pursue it in college as well.

  Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being amazing!”

• Awesome Middle School Students Need Engaging Classroom Supplies!

  Funded Aug 18, 2023

  Thank you so much for your kindness and compassion. I wish you could each personally see the look on each students face when they receive supplies and other classroom items donated by others that don't even know them. It makes them feel so loved! I love that it makes them in turn want to do kind things for others...it's truly so special. Getting this much needed supplies kept our class going socially, emotionally and academically by providing needs beyond textbooks and computers. Things we all know are needed to keep teens going and engaged which you did for them. I thank you from the bottom of my heart on behalf of them, myself, the parents and staff! You are SO appreciated!”

• Brand New Volleyball Players Need Equipment and Healthy Energy Sources!

  Funded Jul 26, 2023

  I can not thank you enough! Our generous donations went far beyond the original project. Our students could not have been more excited to see that complete strangers cared enough about them to donate to a project that helped them so much. Having the gear for volleyball gave them confidence going into the instructional season which made all the difference. The healthy snacks showed them how their food choices before games gave them more energy rather than the usual sugar intake and crash many were indulging in. I was also able to gift some of the knee pads to our students graduating from 8th grade to start their high school career's in competitive volleyball, which also gave them the heartfelt memory of you donors and then school they were leaving after 10 years to start the next part of their lives. We are always so gratefully surprised at the kindness of our donors. You mean so much to us, and the smiles on the students faces when they get these products funded is truly priceless and irreplaceable. Thank you again!”

• PBIS Positive Behavior Incentive Reward Activity Room Supplies!

  Funded Dec 1, 2021

  I can not thank you enough for your generous donations to fund this PBIS incentives project. This project has actually ended up spreading its reach way beyond what was excepted when it was created. Not only are students using the amazing supplies when they choose arts and crafts each Friday as their behavior incentive award but they are connecting! Connecting with each other over the art, while having a moment to sit and chat that is not academic based. Different grade levels, different social groups all connecting over the supplies purchased with your generous donations. Another way the love and connection as spread from your kindness is that students have created projects and cards at Thanksgiving and Christmas for shelters and a Veterans hospital as well. Again, thank you for your generosity and keeping us in your hearts, spreading your kindness!”

• Students Learning Virtually Need Copies of the Novel "The Giver"

  Funded Dec 1, 2020

  This brand new class set of the novel the Giver is the gift that keeps on giving (no pun intended! You all supported our students with your generosity and allowed us to get each student their very own, brand new text that we delivered right to their homes with other goodies! Since they have been returned and 4 other sets of students have utilized them as well, and we know that number will continue to multiple. Having these books to put in students hands while spending formidable years at their homes, rather than in the school building was literally life changing in that time frame because it allowed us to connect on such deep, life long meaningful topics, while being online together but having the physicals book in their hands. Not only was this a game changer logistically, it was a game changer in so many other ways....students had their familiarity and comfortable way of reading back, they got the social piece- lighting up as they read, made connections and discussed with their peers, and emotionally it meant the world to them that while their world was falling apart- you thought of them and your generosity was directed to getting them something. This truly meant to world to them. Thank you is not enough, but again thank you for your caring hearts and generosity towards me and my middle school students and families!”

• Help My Students Thrive w/ Hands on Engaging Learning Materials!

  Funded Aug 26, 2022

  Thank you for being such generous, kind humans who touch the lives of my middle school students without ever having met them. When we get a project funded like this, that they students have picked the materials they'd love...and then it gets a donation from awesome people like you, the look on their face is always so priceless. They express how great it feels that "someone cared" and "choose to spend their own money on us, when they never met us". I've seen those expressions, comments hit their hearts and in turn see them doing kind things. It's truly amazing how an act of kindness like yours continues to spread. Again, we cannot thank you enough!”

• Exciting Materials for Virtual Learning in US Civics & Government

  Funded Dec 1, 2020

  Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making our students virtual, hybird and in person history learning more engaging and fun with our exciting, hands on materials for US Civics and Government! The impact reached far beyond just the one grade level learning that curriculum during the COVID year. We were able to recreate and utilize them this year as well, and plan to continue to do so in future years! Aside from the amazing learning that took places with the materials, students social emotional well being was also deeply impacted simply by knowing that kind, generous people like you were out there and cared enough to do something for them...without ever having met them. This is something they will take with them throughout life. I know in my heart that taking that feeling you have them and the lessons they learned about our government, policies, civic duties and responsibilities they will be even greater citizens and will change our world for the better!

  Thank you again from myself, the students, their families and the community for a lasting gift. You're kindness and generosity mean so much!”
