Magnificent Math Carnival
Funded Apr 25, 2022As the students entered the room thinking it would be a normal math lesson, they were in for a BIG surprise! Our classroom was transformed into a Magnificent Math Carnival! They had so much fun that they almost forgot they were practicing math skills and concepts they had learned throughout the school year. Score!!! Students paired up and took turns answering questions to earn tickets, which were used to play games. At the end of the carnival, we decided it would be best to do a prize raffle. Students turned their tickets into the bag of the prize they hoped to win. Every student won a prize and some won multiple! Many friends even chose to share prizes with classmates, which made my heart so happy! I appreciate all of the donors who contributed to making this amazing event happen. :)”

Luxurious Luau
Funded May 3, 2022The students were thrilled to walk into our classroom and see the room transformed into a Luxurious Luau. It was the perfect way to celebrate our final weeks together in 3rd grade. The students walked down our "red carpet" decked out in their flower headbands, necklaces, and bracelets to receive their special class award. Each student had the opportunity to sign their classmates' beach balls and had lots of fun playing with them on the playground. Because of your generous donations, my students were able to celebrate the end of the school year in an extra special way! :)”

Funded Sep 15, 2021I want to thank you all for you generosity in providing students at my school with the resources needed to learn about the sport of disc golf. This new and exciting sport is being implemented in the PE curriculum and to my knowledge, Patronis Elementary is the first school in the county to include disc golf in the PE program. Students in K-5 were able to learn the fundamentals and practice playing disc golf. In the future, our school would love to coach a team of children to compete in local disc golf competitions.
Students were absolutely THRILLED to learn about this sport and play. I had so many students approach me last week and thank me for writing the grant for the disc golf baskets. It makes me incredibly happy to see students enthusiastically learning a new sport. Many have shared that they are excited to play disc golf with their friends and family. Your generous donation helped to make this happen! Many thanks!”

Funded Sep 23, 2021The students were absolutely thrilled to receive the items requested to participate in a highly anticipated Glow Day! When the package arrived at school, I brought it to my room that afternoon and wrote the words Glow Day on the box. The next day when the students walked into the room, they noticed it immediately and begged to do the Glow Day that afternoon! I explained that we would plan the day out to match the skills we were working on. The class eagerly waited for our special day to happen.
On our Glow Day, students wore white and neon colors so their clothing would glow brightly in the black light. They had about a billion questions about our big day, which I gladly answered. They worked so hard in the classroom that day because they knew that our afternoon would consist of fun and engaging glow activities. Finally, it was time for the big event!
We began our Glow Day with a dance party! Students were able to submit songs they liked for me to review and add to our playlist. It was an awesome start to an amazing afternoon! Students were so excited to participate in this event and it was all possible because of YOU! I can't thank you enough for supporting engaging educational experiences like this one in my classroom!”
