  Funded Sep 2, 2023

  Your donations has helped fund supplies for our Innovation Lab. The Innovation Lab is a maker-space that is used by all students in our building. The supplies from this project will be used by students to imagine and create a variety of projects for our school. Students will be guided through the design process and then put their ideas into motion. Our student leadership team is excited to create T-Shirts for our student leaders to wear. They are proud of their creates that were organically created from start to finish by and for students. Thanks again for supporting our school community!!! We couldn't do it without donors like you!!!”

  Funded Nov 18, 2022

  Your donation means the world to us! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for funding this project.

It's because of donors like you that we are able to add a Cricut Explore 3 to our Innovation Lab. Teachers are excited to learn about this new technology and students are excited to use this new technology.

• Character Building Assemblies

  Funded Aug 22, 2018

  Voice and choice are big topics in schools these days. We want to make sure that we are offering flexible seating options to students in every classroom in our building. Thank you for supporting this project which makes this dream a reality.

  The Wobble Chairs that you funded in this project will be placed in classrooms as options for students to choose when they are needing something different than the traditional seating options. We have realized that some students learn better when they have the ability to make small movements while working. Wobble Chairs are perfect for allowing students to shift around and stay focused.

  Again, thank you for supporting this project and for support the students at our school. We truly appreciate all of you!”

• Wobble, Wobble, Wobble - Part 1

  Funded Sep 12, 2018

  Thank you for your support, not only to this project, but to our students!

  Flexible seating options is all the rage. Allowing students voice and choice in their seating preference is so important for a lot of our students. These wobble chairs will allow teachers to offer more choice in their classrooms. Students that choose these seats will be able to make small, wobble movements while engaging in their classwork.

  Thanks again for your continued support. Our students and staff are so grateful for the support you have shown. We couldn't do it without you!”

• STEAMing Into 3D

  Funded May 24, 2018

  I cannot thank you enough for your generosity and support! By supporting this project, you have added a brand new 3D printer to our STEAM Station. What a gift you have given to our students.

  With this printer, students will be able to explore a multitude of possibilities that 3D printing has made available. Their creativity and imaginations will be set free to develop and create numerous things. This printer will be used for after-school STEAM clubs, as well as, in classrooms by teachers wanting to give students different options to traditional school work!

  Again, thank you for supporting this project and opening the door for our students to explore through STEAM!”

• Escape...If You Can

  Funded Apr 12, 2018

  What an amazing gift you have given our students. Thank you for supporting this project and our students.

  Critical Thinking Skills and Team Building exercises will go hand in hand now that we have a Breakout EDU Escape Room Kit. Teachers will be able to use this with their students in the classroom room to foster the idea of working with others (teamwork), critical thinking skills (problem-solving skills), and having success (or how to deal with failure) with certain activities. Teachers will be able to choose from 600+ rooms that have already been created, or come up with their own and use the kit to make it a reality!

  Again, I can't thank you enough for supporting our students and our school. We are so excited to start using our Breakout EDU Escape Room kit!”

• Wobble While We Learn

  Funded Mar 27, 2018

  Wow...#BestSchoolDay for sure!!! Thank you for supporting this and many more projects. Because of your support, our Kindergarten class received some wobble chairs and movement cushions to use in their classroom. Many students need to be making small movements to help them focus on learning. These resources will definitely help them do that!

  We are beginning to incorporate more flex seating options into every classroom in our building. Giving students choice in their seating allows them to make adjustments in what works best for them and their learning. Thanks again for support this project. Our students and staff thank you!”
