• Dress for Success

  Funded Oct 15, 2017

  It is so nice to see these amazing students in clean professional clothes! They can finally learn without worrying about their attire or whether or not they will get their clothes dirty while working on hands on projects! If they need to change, they have shirts available to them so they can learn without worry in a stress free environment! These kids were so excited to see their new shirts! They unpacked the boxes with huge smiles on their faces! After opening the boxes, they put their shirts on right away to wear proudly around school! Thank you so much for making this project possible and for caring about our wonderful students! We appreciate all of your support.”

• A Student Centered Stress Free Environment!

  Funded Nov 1, 2017

  This project has brought new life into our classroom. One of my students noted, "It is so therapeutic! I just feel calm, it is so soothing in here. I love the fountain." There are no words to describe how amazing this project has been for our classroom. Students are more at ease and able to learn! The student centered environment allows them to focus on the important aspects of class and these materials assist them with blocking out the negative stress that can be associated with school. This project has helped us to create a classroom that is student led and focused where peacefulness is a part of the everyday routine. Thanks again. You are amazing!”

• Growing Health Education

  Funded Sep 23, 2016

  Donors,

  These materials have been absolutely amazing for our class project! Our students are learning first hand about gardening and about nutrition! These aero gardens have been the perfect addition to our classroom! We have already grown herbs like parsley, basil and mint inside our very own class! The second unit is currently growing bell peppers! The students are able to see the plants grow from little seedlings into mature plants and then watch the creation of the vegetables! We have harvested the herbs and are waiting for the first peppers to arrive!”

• Brewing Teamwork!

  Funded Oct 13, 2016

  Dear Donors,

  This project helps us to communicate more and socialize and interact more. We love the new machine! It has helped us to take time to speak to each other about important things. It helps to keep us relaxed and ready to learn about sports medicine topics and health! It also has made our classroom better because it is more cozy and comfortable. We have already used it too many times to count! We have started having "round table" discussions at least once a week and we love to enjoy a warm cup of hot cocoa during these talks!”

  This project has brought our classroom to life! We have already begun planting outdoors and your contributions are so much appreciated! We set up the potting benches and the garden beds.
