  • How Do We Learn Without Paper?

    Funded Dec 3, 2024

    Thank you so much for our paper! We have already made bulletin boards, projects, taken assessments and created crafts! We were in desperate need and because of you we aren't anymore. Thank you so much!

    We can't learn without paper! Thank you for giving us our needed essentials!

    We cannot wait to craft more, learn more and write more! With our new paper the sky is the limit. That's because of you! Thank you so much for caring about our educational journey. You have no idea how much of an impact you have on us!”

  • Book Worms in 1st Grade!

    Funded Nov 5, 2024

    Thank you so much for your donation of our wonderful books. Our scholars were full of bright and enthusiastic smiles when they saw the boxes. Then, when we opened them they all cheered with joy!

    These books have already made an impact in our scholars school and home connection. They have been delighted to share how they are reading with their parents.

    Due to not having books, before your amazing donations, it was not likely that our parents were able to read with their scholars at home. Now, they have plenty of books in their home language that translate to English. Thank you so much! This is because of you!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. McKee

  • Getting Back to Basics

    Funded Dec 19, 2023

    I wish you could see my students faces when their boxes arrived. They knew how much love they were receiving from you! My students have already started using all tapes, staplers and velcro for hanging up our work and posters. Our room has already become a colorful environment and helped contribute to our teaching and learning. Our scholars have created stem project, resource posters, and brightened our room with incredible posters to push our learning. All with the help of you! You gave us the necessities we needed and it has already made an impact! Thank you so much!”

    Ms. McKee

  • Can You Hear That? It's Success!

    Funded Dec 7, 2023

    Thank you so much for donating to our classroom. When the boxes arrived our scholars were ecstatic! They each were given their own pair of headphones and were able to get right to work. Each day they are equipped with an iPad that they are required to do math facts, IReady, RazKids and Amira work on. Each app needs headphones for their individual goals to be met. They need to listen and respond. Imagine being in a room with 32 kids all hearing each others iPads at the same time? Not any more! Now with your generosity we were able to give each student their own pair of headphones to make their learning kickstart! Thank you so much!”

  • Learning Without a Pencil Is Pointless!

    Funded Apr 6, 2023

    Thank you so much for supplying our class with pencils! Not only pencils, but the best pencils. They allow us to make mistakes and learn by easily erasing. Thank you so much! In first grade we constantly need erasers and pencils. They go missing, break, and are taken home for work. They go like candy on Halloween! Without pencils out everyday learning could not be achieved. Every subject they are a must have for. They are always in high need! Thank you so much for giving us the materials we need to teach everyday! You are amazing!”

I cannot wait to have them read them each day and move levels!! Thank you so much for making this project come true! We could not have done it without you! You are amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

  • Book Worms in 1st Grade!

    Funded Dec 16, 2022

    Thank you so much for giving my students leveled books. In just a short time they have already dove in and moved levels. Being able to read on level makes them move faster. This could not happen without your help. We cannot thank you enough for your support and generosity. First grade reading is so important for continued educational success. I wish you could have seen their faces and huge smiles when the books arrived. It was like watching kids on Christmas morning. It was amazing. Thank you so much for doing this for our kids!”
