  • "Future Leaders: Empowering Minds for Tomorrow"

    Funded Sep 6, 2023

    The donated items have been a tremendous help to our class in several ways:

    1. **Enhanced Learning Experience:** The addition of items like headphones, wall art, pencil sharpeners, and testing boards has significantly improved the overall learning experience. Students can focus better with headphones, stay motivated with inspiring wall art, and maintain their writing tools efficiently.

    2. **Increased Engagement:** The presence of these items has made the classroom a more engaging and comfortable space for students. The colorful wall art creates a visually appealing environment, and the availability of headphone support for multimedia learning materials keeps students more engaged in lessons.

    3. **Time Efficiency:** Donated pencil sharpeners have saved valuable class time. Instead of interrupting the lesson to sharpen pencils, students can quickly do so, ensuring that they can continue their work without unnecessary delays.

    4. **Assessment Improvements:** The testing boards have improved the integrity of assessments. Students can take tests with reduced distractions, and teachers can be more confident in the fairness of the evaluation process.

    5. **Positive Psychological Impact:** Beyond practical benefits, these donated items have had a positive psychological impact on students and teachers alike. Knowing that these resources are available creates a sense of support and care within the classroom, fostering a more positive learning atmosphere.

    In summary, they were so excited and happy. The donated items have made a significant and multifaceted contribution to our class, positively affecting both the learning environment and the overall educational experience. We thank you”

  • Magical Learning Journey!!!

    Funded Nov 21, 2019

    This Piece of Technology has done so much for my class in this short period of time SMART Boards in the classroom at the elementary level are incredibly helpful for important classroom lessons I am so thankful for the device that was donated because it turns my whiteboard into a smart board.

    For example, before class every day, I could post large, colorful icons marked with individual student names and classroom objectives. We get a change to interact with the lesson being taught and my students are doing very well because of it.

    This piece of technology also helps my students to become more comfortable with the touch process that is becoming so important in using Wi-Fi digital tools, such as computer notepads and e-readers that our school has adopting to assist instructional use. This has really been a good tool Thank you all so much for your donations”

  • Destiny to Soar with High Expectations!

    Funded Dec 4, 2018

    Thank You for your donations. Your donation has really been very effective in my classroom. We are filled with immense gratitude and appreciation for your thoughtfulness. My students genuinely enjoy their educational games, and these quality educational games are very engaging to my students. They love playing prodigy and are also able to complete research projects on educational topics that they love and would like to learn more about. I have also been able to set them up to take typing lessons and they really enjoy learning new skills to better help them with writing creative stories. Many of my students who have been struggling academically have already in this short span of time have shown improvement in math and reading. They are learning at their level and at their own pace. Once again thank you again!!! You have made this school year brighter for us all We are truly destined to soar!!!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Terry

    This classroom project was brought to life by Verizon and 11 other donors.
These Dell laptops will continue to enhance technology in the classroom that I strive for. My classroom is a place that my students really enjoy being and I love hands-on and interactive lessons. My students will have a workstation to complete work, and they learn independently! Every student will be able to have access to the web and be able to research topics for higher level thinking and they are thankful for the opportunities that they are given. The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional practice in math and reading and also they will help me to help my students make more effective learning choices. Students gain word processing skills when learning to type: skills they will need in college and the workplace. Most importantly I feel that given students access to computers will lead to students who really enjoy computers and can help others, which is useful to classmates and the teacher! Computer time promotes using higher order thinking skills and is a natural form of discovery through trial and error.
