• New Desks

  Funded Sep 30, 2021

  It is with much gratitude and delight that I say thank you from the bottom of my heart for our new classroom desks. To see the kids marvel at their new desks with such joy and happiness warms my heart. Your generosity has made a huge impact in my students lives. They are able to keep all of their belongings safe and secure in their individual desks. The students were so thrilled to have a desk to call their own and stock it with supplies just for them. This was no small feat and it was only made possible because everyone of you believed in the value of their education and how important it is to have everything they need in one place.”

• Future Innovators of the World

  Funded Nov 20, 2017

  I would like to extend a HUGE thank you for supporting my project! With your assistance, my students have been enjoying photography as part of their Kindergarten experience and the results so far have been incredible! The children love taking pictures with their new cameras around the classroom as well as when we venture outside! This hands-on way of learning has been both exciting and beneficial to their development as Kindergarten students. Their smiles and sense of accomplishment as they capture moments and then see the result is priceless. They are creating memories that will last a lifetime. They are all super excited to have this opportunity, and I am so grateful for your generous donations, which helped turn an idea into a wonderful reality! This project is very special and I am truly grateful!”

• Glitz and Glamor in the Classroom

  Funded Dec 29, 2011

  This is a small token of my gratitude to tell you how much my students and I appreciate your donation. My students have the opportunity to grow even further because of your generosity. Art is critical for educating the whole child. Art education fosters brain development especially of the creative and intuitive right brain functions.Skills developed through art lead to better learning in other areas.The arts provide experiences that cannot be duplicated by other means.Art develops social skills and teamwork. My students are encouraged to share ideas and help each other grow.

  Through my project "Glitz and Glamour" my students have allowed themselves to take charge and discover the unexpected possibilities of their creativity. The students think critically and optimize their visions and conceptualize that there is more than one "right" answer. Through art students are celebrated through multiple perspectives, and acknowledged for their own creativity. Art empowers children to say what cannot be said through words. It allows children to discover the range and variety of what they are capable of doing.

  The Arts are just as important as reading and writing however not as supported in public schools today. This project allowed my students to express themselves in a multitude of ways, so for that I am grateful to all of you. From my students and I a big THANK YOU!”

• Literacy in the Arts

  Funded Feb 26, 2011

  I want to thank everyone for their generosity. Due to your generosity the children were actively engaged in their new materials. The art supplies, the building magna tiles, and our new literacy word family kits. My students have succeed and gone a few steps further. They are creative, and have cleverly used their new resources to to be inventive and resourceful. They worked in groups which allowed them to gain new insight into teamwork, and being social. An important thing in life is to be able to utilize your social skills the best way you can, and if you do not start in your formative years you will not be able see the benefits of working with others in the future.

  My extraordinary students gained more than just new tools to catapult them forward, they gained a sense of self and they understand how others can be a monumental support system. So my students and I would LOVE to say "thanks for everything" because you reached out and helped, we succeeded!”
