Living Things!
Funded Nov 2, 2022I am so excited for my students to experience growing a garden and what is required to care for living things. How exciting for them to grow and eat their own bounty. This is going to be the highlight of their year!
Thank you so much for supporting public education in the great state of Oklahoma!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Oklahoma State Department of Education.Learning Through Play Is Crucial!
Funded Feb 8, 2022Wow, my students have been so engaged! Of course, their eyes lit up like it was Christmas when the items arrived.
It has been amazing to watch them be so engaged in their learning. Students learn the best through play and this is the proof in the pudding. They are always anxious to get to play in the sensory tubs, but the magnetic blocks are the "hit".
I wish you were able to view into our classroom and see how your donation has impacted the student's learning. These items have been a game changer!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Panda Cares and one other donor.Help Us Hear!
Funded Dec 3, 2019Wow the difference having headphones in the classroom makes! Student are able to maintain their focus without being disturbed by their neighbor's iPad sounds. Young students have such difficulty maintaining their focus and the headphones enable them to concentrated much better. Our classroom is less chaotic while student listen to stories. They are able to drift away into the stories without interruptions. The students love hooking up to the headphones and focus on their work. This has helped each student improve their listening skills.”

This classroom project was brought to life by SONIC Drive-In and 2 other donors.Headphones to Help Us Stay Focused.
Funded Mar 27, 2018We have a school of over 500 students. There are approximately 300 students a day rotate through the computer lab. We appreciate your gracious donation of these sturdy, high-quality headphones. We go through an extraordinary amount of headphones dues to the high usage.
It is important that students have working equipment and headphones to drown out exterior noises. These headphones help our students focus on the computer and therefore perform better.
The headphones are especially useful for our special needs students who often struggle with extraneous noises. They are better able to focus and work.
Again, thank you so much for your generous donation!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Ripple.Environment is Everything!
Funded Jan 31, 2017Thank you so much for making this project come alive! I only wish you could see how you have impacted the lives of my students. We have 18 light fixtures with 3 lights in each fixture. The light is overpowering! With the new light filters there was an immediate calming effect in the classroom. This is especially important for students with attention/focusing difficulties. Research has shown that fluorescent lights are over-stimulating. These filters have been a life changing. Everyone who enters our classroom comments on the calming effect.
We were also able to purchase a wobble chair. Since I only have one I put the most needed student on the chair. This has been such a wonderful means to help him wiggle and has helped him maintain his focus. Your help with this project will continue to benefit students for several years. You have made a huge difference in my student's lives!”

Focusing Is The Key To Success!
Funded Oct 27, 2014I want to thank your for your donation. The seat cushions, exercise balls, lap pad and weighted vests have made a tremendous impact on the student's ability to focus. They are are now able to focus on their work and know what it's like to be successful! These resources have made learning so much more fun! I only wish I had the exercise balls for all of my students.
Thank you for believing in the education of our children. Because of you my students are successful and realize their full potential.”

Creating a Love For Science!
Funded May 13, 2014I cannot begin to tell you the impact you have had by donating toward this project! This is the second year for our science club and time and again the kids walk away with smiles. This project was a HUGE success! The kids said, "This was the best ever!" Not only was the tie dye project fun, but they learned new terminology and were constantly engaged! Now future science club members will have cool science aprons and protective goggles. These students were amazed that someone would make such a donation and were so appreciative. Thank you so much for helping enrich the lives of our students!”

Not a Luxury ... a Necessity!
Funded Oct 29, 2013I wish you could have been in my classroom when the iPad2 arrived. My students were ecstatic! There were screams and shrills of excitement. The only problem is we need several iPads. I teach in a school with high poverty and many students have not been exposed to this level of technology. Your donation is helping them achieve a sense of accomplishment and pride as they make academic progress.
We have worked out a system to allow all students to benefit from using the iPad. I have already seen progress in students who use the iPad regularly. I especially have noticed improvement in students who were struggling with letter identification and sounds. Having the iPad has given me the opportunity to provide specialized help for each student - students who are highly skilled and students who are struggling.
I thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your support of education. You have helped make a huge difference in the lives of many students.”

Back to the Future
Funded Oct 3, 2011Wow! I cannot begin to express what a positive impact your donation has made in our classroom. The science center is a first choice for many students. The kits are engaging and the students have enjoyed exploring science. The science center kits have helped me meet the required objectives. The kits are a wonderful asset for learning new science concepts and awakening the curiosity in students.
Your donations have made a huge impact in my classroom and the students are eager to explore the science center. Because of your generosity we might have a budding scientist who may discover a new drug or an innovative way to conserve energy. The possibilities are endless!
Again, thank you so much for providing the resources needed to spark a love of science!”

Magic Carpet Ride
Funded Nov 2, 2010Words cannot convey our appreciation for your generous donation to our classroom. The center-time carpet that you donated has helped my students every day. They now know exactly where to sit and it defines their personal sitting space. Our group meetings are much more comfortable and inviting.
Schools across Oklahoma are currently facing budget shortfalls. Without your help my students would not enjoy such a wonderful sitting space. Thank you for making this donation and making my students feel so very special.
Without donors like you, thousands of classroom in the United States would go without. ”
