• Ce-le-bra-tion Come Pre-K!!! Let's Celebrate

  Funded Sep 29, 2022

  I wanted to thank you so much because my students love the idea of making popcorn in the class. We had popcorn on Friday and they enjoyed watching it be made and smelling how delicious it is. We are learning about our five senses so watching it be made, hearing it pop, smelling how wonderful it smelled, grabbing a handful and finally tasting it gave them a great insight to the five senses. Thank you for your continuous support with out you class life would not be so exciting. Pre-K loves all our gifts.”

• Hooray! PreK Is Ready for a Brand New School Year

  Funded Sep 29, 2022

  I want you to know how much we love all of our supplies. My students love the circle time activity. We use it everyday and they look forward to learning about the days of the week as well as learning about the numbers. I appreciate having the laminating pouches and the graduation certificates. I have placed the pockets up on each center this makes it easier for the children to put their cards in each center. Life in the classroom has become so much more child friendly. I want you to know how much I appreciate your support.”

• 2, 4, 6, 8 Let's Keep the Germs Away!!!

  Funded Sep 29, 2022

  Every year we have to ask parents to contribute in supplies and most of the time we are lucky if we get half the things we ask for. With your contribution we don't have to ask for much. I remember one year a mother felt so bad because she was unable to give towards the supplies we had asked for and I felt bad having to put her in that position, I told her do not worry and I asked her to come in and help with the class when we had a party she was happy that she was able to contribute one way. The support helps in every way it touches the students, staff and parents. I appreciate you. Thank You for all that you do”

• Sharpies, Pencils, Borders Ohh My - Here Comes PreK

  Funded Sep 17, 2022

  The children love to help me take the stuff out of the boxes and place the glue sticks in the bin. They loved the helping hands this is where their pictures and names will go and their job in the class for the week. They love to have structure, jobs it makes them feel good. I have a student whose responsibility is to push the chairs under the table and if you could see his face when he completes his task and how prideful he looks. I thank you for believing in what we as teachers do everyday and in our students.”

• A Full Stomach Makes a Happy Brain!

  Funded Sep 7, 2022

  I would like you to know how much I appreciate the donation. My babies got so excited when the boxes were brought into the room. They had no idea what was in the boxes and when I started to open them my little ones got so excited when they saw the Beefaroni. I had decided to warm them up some and they enjoyed their lunch. Every Friday We set up baggies for each of the children cereals, juice, snack and mac and cheese. They love it as well as the parents. Thank You so much for your support I love seeing the happiness on their faces.”

• Science in Pre-K

  Funded Mar 25, 2022

  I want to thank you for the donation. My students loved looking through the microscope at the bugs. The girls at first did not want to look and when I did it first then they took interest and really enjoyed it. They drew pictures of the bugs they saw. I pulled out the make your garden manipulative. We just learned about plants and how they grow. We planted a seed and watched how the seed had a root and began to grow. With the toy they had they put the flower together and was able to make a garden. They really enjoyed this activity. Thank You”

• Happy Children in Self Care

  Funded Jan 28, 2022

  I wanted to take the time to let you know that the parents that received these gifts were overcomed with happiness. We take for granted that sometimes we all need a nice gesture this would go along way. We are so quick to be taking care of everything and everyone we forget about ourselves. During these hard times we need a bit of joy or happiness in our lives. When I saw the smiles on their faces I knew we did a great job. I will continue to think of others and try to bring a little sunshine on to my parents. Thank you”

• Hot Food Hot Food on the Way!!

  Funded Dec 9, 2021

  I wanted you to know how much we appreciate your donation. Every morning that we have a cold breakfast I have the ability to warm up their food. It warms my heart to know how much they enjoy their breakfast. I know that each child is ready to have a wonderful and productive day. On Fridays I try to make a weekend bag so I put the beefaroni, ravioli and juices to help at home. My children enjoy the snacks they receive ever Friday. They enjoy picking out a snack from our bin and talking with their friends at the table. Thank you for helping with nourishing their minds and bodies.”

• A Rainy School Day!!!!!

  Funded Nov 15, 2021

  I would like to thank you so much for your donation. My little ones love their rain coats and umbrella. The other day it rained very hard and my little ones came in soaking wet but protected because they had their raincoats on. This was a wonderful sight knowing that we had some doing in protecting them from harsh weather. It was a fashion show when they came in they had to show off their characters on their raincoats. The smiles and laughter that came in with them was a wonderful feeling.If you could see the pride they take when they have to take off their raincoats. I am very happy.”

• Tis the Season for Pre- K

  Funded Nov 15, 2021

  I wish I could capture the feeling of joy and send it to you, my parent were so happy to receive such gifts. My little ones came back from vacation talking how Santa came and gave them toys and how they played with them. I was so overcome with happiness knowing that we had something to do with it. It was funny how they came in and was talking about their gifts and how some played with their family members and how much fun they had. One of my parents really was so appreciative because money was very hard to come by and stated," how she did not have the means to buy anything for her child so this gift was very welcomed."”
