You're amazing!”

Stop, Collaborate, and Listen
Funded Oct 26, 2022Thank you again for your generous donation to my classroom :) The project was just fully funded, so the audio equipment will soon be making its way to my classroom. This will enable me to finally make the full pedagogical shift to blended, self-paced, mastery-based learning. Thank you for your donation and helping me reach my goal.”

Award-Winning Novels & Engaging Science Materials
Funded Aug 18, 2021Thank you so much for sponsoring my project. With your help, I was able to purchase class novels that have truly inspired my students in regards to social justice (The Cay), friendship (Freak the Mighty), and overcoming hardship (Tiger Rising). Also, the model of the solar system really helped my students understand rotation versus revolution. Plus, two of my more mechanically inclined students really enjoyed putting the model together and they proudly displayed their work to the other students :)
Thank you so much for giving my students access to wonderful tactile materials that engage their curiosity and reignite their passion for learning. You are wonderful human beings and I appreciate your generosity immensely!

Funded Jun 8, 2020I apologize for the incredibly delayed thank you notice for your generosity in giving to my classroom project! I was so caught up in teaching and sharing your books with my students, that things just kind of got away from me. My sincerest apologies.
In any event, please know that your books went to good use last year! In spite of a pandemic and having nearly two-thirds of my students remain distance-learners last year, I still made it a requirement for my students to read 30-minutes every single night. Now, not all of my students have books at home so I turned myself into a mobile library. I scanned in all 800+ of my books into an online library system, had my students log in to select their books, and then hand-delivered them to their doorstep. Don't worry, all Covid-related protocols were followed! :)
Every week, I would spend 20-30 minutes each afternoon driving around and picking up my students' completed books and exchanging them for the next book on their list. Without all of your generous donations, none of this would have been possible! I sincerely am humbled by your philanthropic gesture and hope you realize the impact that you have made on last year's students as well as many other students to come! :)”
