  • How Do We Learn Without Paper?

    Thank you so much for giving us paper for everyday in our classroom. We are able to get copies of material, do crafts, and do everyday activities to make us grow as learners. You have made this all possible and we can not thank you enough! Our scholars were so excited when the boxes came! They each got to carry a packet of paper up to our classroom. The smiles on their faces were priceless. They couldn't stop saying thank you to our donors. You are amazing! You have made a huge impact in our students lives and ours. Thank you so much!”

  • Can You Hear Success?

    Funded Sep 29, 2022

    Thank you for giving my students noise cancelling headphones to help keep them focused and on task. They have already been so beneficial!

  • Sticking to Magnets!

    Funded Sep 29, 2022

    Thank you so much for giving my students magnetic printable paper sheets to create parent portal magnets and teacher communication magnets. Having a home-school bridge of communication is so important! These magnets include a QR code that leads to our Parent Portal. In this portal is everything a family needs to know about what's going on at their child's school. The other magnet is the teachers' contact information for any questions or concerns throughout the school year. It's super important for families and teachers to meet at a middle ground and share a bridge of communication. This will impact every student's educational journey. Thank you so much for making this happen!”

  • Let's Get Organized!

    Funded Sep 29, 2022

    Our class and students cannot thank you enough for giving my students folders and organization labels for their filing folders. This had helped with organization and keeping their work neat. For students, being organized is particularly important since it helps them learn how to prioritize activities, set and achieve goals and reduce stress. Having good organizational skills also makes it easier to collaborate with others and helps increase productivity and efficiency. You have done so much for our students already by allowing them to be successful in this way. Thank you so much!”
