• Literacy Matters!

  Funded Nov 12, 2024

  Receiving the book donations of "Night" by Elie Wiesel has had a significant impact on my students' reading skills and overall educational development. Access to a diverse range of books allows students to explore different genres, expand their vocabulary, and improve their comprehension abilities. With books that are engaging and age-appropriate, students are more likely to develop a love for reading, which directly influences their academic performance. The increased exposure to various writing styles and topics helps them to better grasp complex ideas, enhancing both their literacy and critical thinking skills. For many of my students, this book donation provides an opportunity to practice reading outside of school hours, which reinforces the learning they receive in the classroom.

  Some reading skills my scholars learned from "Night" were characterization and theme/central idea, and citing textual evidence. In my class, scholars close-read and annotate silently using graphic organizers to help them to better grasp key ideas and concepts. Students must answer text-dependent questions and cite text evidence to support their answers. We also engage in scholarly discussions about the text.

  Moreover, these donations positively influence students' lives by providing them with a sense of empowerment and opportunity. Many students, especially those from underprivileged backgrounds, may not have access to books at home due to financial constraints. Receiving books not only helps bridge this gap but also boosts self-confidence. With a steady supply of new materials, students feel motivated to engage with their education more deeply, leading to improved academic outcomes. Additionally, the availability of books fosters creativity and imagination, allowing students to dream bigger and see the world beyond their immediate surroundings. In the long run, this access to reading materials can have a profound impact on their personal growth and future success.”

The inviting space encourages independent reading and group discussions, enhancing critical thinking and communication skills. As students dive into new narratives, their vocabulary and comprehension abilities expand, leading to improved performance in writing and analysis. Overall, the donated bookcases have not only enriched the classroom environment but also empowered students to take ownership of their learning journeys, cultivating a lifelong love for reading.”

• A Clean and Safe Learning Environment

  Funded Jun 12, 2024

  Your donations of Kleenex and paper towels has significantly enhanced the learning environment in my classroom due to the following reasons:

  Improved Hygiene: The donations of Kleenex and paper towels has helped to maintain cleanliness and hygiene. They have allowed my students and I to quickly address spills, clean their hands, and manage sneezes or coughs, reducing the spread of germs and contributing to a healthier classroom.

  Reduced Distractions: Because my students and I have easy access to tissues and towels, they can handle minor messes and disruptions without having to leave the room or search for supplies. This leads to fewer interruptions and helps to keep the focus on learning.

  Enhanced Comfort: Now that my classroom is stocked with these supplies, it is more comfortable for everyone. My students feel more at ease knowing they can address personal hygiene needs promptly, and I can manage classroom cleanliness more effectively.

  Cost Savings: Donations of these supplies has alleviated some of the financial burden on me as a teacher and my school. Your generous donation helps my school to redirect funds towards other educational resources or programs. This has been especially impactful in my school due to a limited budget.

  Positive Learning Atmosphere: Having a well-maintained, clean environment has helped to contribute to a positive atmosphere. Your donations has shown my students that their well-being and comfort are valued, which has helped to boost morale and create a more inviting and productive learning space.

  Overall, your donation has helped to play a crucial role in ensuring that my classroom remains a healthy, efficient, and welcoming environment for me and my students.”

• T. Moore's English-II Academic Success Camp

  Funded Feb 11, 2024

  I am filled with so much joy and gratitude in response to your generous donation of water, snacks, and supplies you gave to my English-II students as they prepared for the English-II State MAAP Exam. Your donations made all the difference in developing a culture of support and understanding during a difficult time. The students enjoyed and appreciated the water, snacks and supplies during our boot camp review class sessions. Students were given snacks as incentives for scoring Advanced and Proficient on questions, and quizzes during our class. This in turn created self-confidence and a competitive spark between my classes. My scholars have seen a great increase in their test scores and I am very proud of them all! Knowing there are people who care about education and our young people means very much to me as a teacher, and it shows our scholars they are important and matter in the world.

  Thank you again for all you have done in the lives of my scholars! Your giving matters and made a TREMENDOUS difference for my students!!”
