  • A Need to Feed

    Funded Dec 3, 2024

    I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your incredible generosity in donating to help provide such a variety of snacks for my classroom. Your kindness ensures that my students have access to nourishing snacks throughout the day, helping them stay focused, energized, and ready to learn. My students are always so thankful to have a teacher that they know who can help them out throughout the day - thanks to you! Having these snacks available makes a significant difference in creating a supportive and welcoming classroom environment where every student feels cared for.

    Your donations also go a long way in supporting my after-school newspaper club, where students stay to learn, create, and engage in meaningful activities. Thanks to you, they have the fuel they need to stay motivated and participate fully. It's amazing to see how something as simple as a snack can brighten their day and keep them going! I truly appreciate your generosity and the positive impact you've made on my students' learning experience. Thank you for your kindness and support!”

  • Let's Get Back to School!

    Funded Oct 4, 2024

    On behalf of the students in my classes, I want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation towards the purchase of essential back-to-school supplies. Your support has made a significant difference in equipping our underserved classroom with the tools needed to create an engaging and supportive learning environment.

    The classroom laminator has allowed us to preserve and reuse teaching materials, such as visual aids, instructional charts, and student work. This not only saves valuable resources but also provides students with durable learning tools they can reference throughout the school year. I love being able to tackle this myself in my classroom - so easy and convenient!

    Pencils may seem like a small item, but having an ample supply ensures that no student is without the basic tools needed to participate in daily lessons and activities.

    Computer chargers have been invaluable in keeping our devices powered and accessible, enabling students to engage in digital learning activities, research projects, and virtual lessons without disruption. Having extra chargers in the classroom has been incredibly helpful this year!

    Your generosity has helped alleviate the financial burden many of our students face and has provided them with a classroom environment where they can focus on learning and thriving.

    I am incredibly grateful for your investment in my students' education. Your kindness and commitment to supporting education have made a lasting impact on the classroom, and I look forward to seeing my students continue to grow and succeed with the tools you've helped provide.

    Thank you once again for your generosity and for believing in the potential of every student.”

  • For Real, This Is a Fairy Tale?!

    Funded Oct 3, 2024

    On behalf of my students, I want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation towards the purchase of fairytale books for our recent writing unit. Thanks to your support, I was able to equip my students with valuable resources that helped them develop their creative writing skills in new and exciting ways.

    As part of our curriculum, we introduced the students to classic fairytales, using the books you helped fund as the foundation. These stories served as a springboard for critical discussions on narrative structure, character development, and theme exploration. Once the students gained a deep understanding of these timeless tales, they were tasked with a creative challenge: to write their own fractured fairytales—stories that twist traditional narratives in fresh and unexpected ways.

    The impact of this project was remarkable. You'd be surprised by how many of these kids still love fairytales like these! Many students who had never considered themselves writers found their voices through this exercise. They transformed familiar characters into modern heroes, altered settings to reflect their own experiences, and reimagined plotlines to address contemporary issues. Through the process, they not only honed their writing skills but also gained confidence in their ability to think critically and creatively.

    Your support has made a lasting difference in the lives of these young writers, and I'm excited to see how they will continue to develop their skills in the future. Thank you once again for your commitment to fostering creativity and literacy in the classroom.”

  • An Optimistic Overall Well-Being

    Funded Jan 31, 2024

    I hope this letter finds you well! I am writing to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your recent donation of hygiene products for teenagers. Your generosity and compassion have made a significant impact on the lives of the young people in my classroom and building, and I cannot thank you enough for your kindness.

    The impact of your donation extends far beyond the provision of the donated tangible items. Your generosity sends a powerful message of care and support to teenagers who may be facing challenging circumstances. Not to mention, you have also given me the support a teacher needs in their classroom. I love being able to respond with a "Yes, I have that and can help you" to a student who asks for deodorant or feminine products. Moreover, your donation enables us to address a critical need within our community and fulfill our mission of supporting teenagers in their journey toward self-reliance and success. Your support plays a vital role in helping us create a safe and nurturing environment where teenagers feel valued, respected, and supported - an environment I strive to create in my classroom on a daily basis.

    I want you to know that your generosity has not gone unnoticed. The impact of your donation is felt deeply by both myself, as well as the teenagers we serve and I am immensely grateful for your support.

    Once again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity and support. I can't thank you enough for your thoughtfulness towards my classroom and we are truly grateful for your kindness.”

    Funded Dec 22, 2023

    I hope this letter finds you well! I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for your incredibly generous donation to our classroom supplies. Your kindness and support mean the world to myself, as well as my students.

    Your donation has already made a significant impact on our classroom environment. With your help, we have been able to acquire essential supplies such as pencil sharpeners, writing materials, school snacks, and other resources that enhance the learning experience for each and every student in our class.

    Not only have you provided us with tangible items, but you have also given us a sense of encouragement and support. Your belief in the power of education and your willingness to invest in the future of our students is truly inspiring - not something you see everyday!

    Please know that your donation is deeply appreciated, not just by me, but by all of my students and the rest of our school. Your kindness has touched our hearts in ways that words cannot express. As we continue our journey throughout the school year, we will carry your kindness with us every step of the way.

    Once again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity and support. We are so grateful to have someone like you as a part of our classroom community.”
