Sharp Start
Funded Nov 10, 2022It was definitely a super sharp start using all the wonderful supplies and we really appreciate all your kind support. The boys and girls were delighted to receive the colors and colored pencils. We were getting close to mid-year when they arrived so they were really needed to brighten up classroom activities. There is never a dull moment with the new sharpener. The children love it and it's easy to use. For writing activities, we always have a sharp start.
The tape dispenser and stapler has helped the boys and girls keep their papers together and a bit more organized. Since they are heavy duty quality, we don't worry about accidently dropping them. Thank you so much for all you help and generosity.”

Funded Apr 6, 2022There were smiles and there were laughs! Yes, all this joy was because you choose to help the boys and girls throughout the day as they learned and meet their goals.
Thank you for all your help. The Treasure box was filled with all sorts of goodies that the children loved. The plushies and squishy toys were a big hit and brought so many smiles to kids faces. You brightened their day. The fidget toys helped with, you guessed it, stress and just helped with calming down some. We appreciate all the party favors and slime. Thanks again for your support.”

Staying Organized
Funded Dec 18, 2021This year has been something else, but your wonderful help has made our day at school so much better and well organized. The boys and girls needed the school boxes to keep their school items together and easily accessible. The mirrors have made the view of pronouncing sounds easier. The round cases that the mirrors have around them, have kept them from getting scratched. It is wonderful to have your own package of tissues in the school boxes. The children have enjoyed all that you have given them. No words can express their happiness. The children have used the yellow binders daily and keeping assignments together has been easier. Once again, thank for your dedication to our scholars. We love it.”

Funded Aug 26, 2021I just wanted to thank you for all the wonderful books and incentives that you have given the boys and girls. It took a long time to get the books, but once we received the Frog and Toad books it was a big success. The children have had a blast learning and practicing the high frequency words as they read these wonderful books. Some books were not available so the children wanted incentives for their excellent reading. The prize bucket was a huge success and the boys and girls just love the incentives. We appreciate all your generosity. You have made this school year fun and easier to learn.
Thank you.”

Funded Jul 12, 2021Our project "New Beginnings" has been a big success and your generous help has made this all possible.
The composition books are used on a daily bases for writing and handwriting practice.
The dry erase boards are also used a lot. These are easy to use for quick responses from the children. I can ask a question and the boys and girls quickly write their answer on the dry erase board and it is easy for me to assess their comprehension.
Your support is greatly appreciated and it has made our day at school so much more pleasant and rewarding.
Thank you so much for making learning a little fun and easier.”

Funded Jun 12, 2021I just wanted to say thank you for all your wonderful help.
It took a while for the books to arrive, but when they did the boys and girls were over-joyed to receive them.
These are the first books to brighten our classroom library and the children are delighted. Your gift included many of the children's favorites such as Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, The Mixed Up Chameleon, Owl Moon, Creepy Carrots and many more. The children love the books and anxiously await their time to read them.
Your generous help has brightened the school day.
Thanks again for caring so much.”

Funded Jul 29, 2021Comforting clean is how the boys and girls are feeling and all because of your generous help. Thanks!
The children were a bit anxious to be returning to the classroom. They were kind of nervous- if you know what I mean. However, the classroom supplies you so kindly gave them made them feel so much better.
The wipes helped clean and disinfect the tables and door knobs as the children rotated through their groups. The boys and girls felt better and more at ease so they could concentrate on their learning.
We all felt the air was sweeter and cleaner with the air purifier. Lol
No words can possibly express our gratitude. Thanks again for everything!!”

Funded Jul 21, 2021It was a stupendously happy start for our little scholars! Most of all, your generous help made all the smiling faces a blast to see.
The supplies arrived just in time for the first day of school and the boys and girls were happy to receive the goodies. No words can possibly explain the joy in their eyes.
Pens and pencils were used to write and draw about their summer.
The bottled water was a big hit especially since our water fountains are closed. It was refreshing! Sure there were a few sniffles and the soft Kleenex tissues were just what the children needed. Life's simple pleasures are the best and your wonderful help made all this possible. We all had a happy start. Thank You!!”

Funded May 13, 2021The hydration bottles were a huge success! The boys and girls played and learned and played some more. They got very thirsty. However, your kind support made an unbelievable difference in the school day of the children. After outdoor play, the children were, you guessed it, very thirsty and the hydration bottles enabled them to have water readily available to quench the thirst. Thank you for your refreshing support and for caring about the health of the boys and girls. They were delighted and the smiles on their faces said it all. You are the best and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

Funded Oct 23, 2020No words can express my gratitude for your wonderful support. The free standing dry erase board is perfect. I used the board at home first since we were still virtual then later moving to the classroom. It was so easy to set up and use. I was able to demonstrate procedures and lessons on the board easily. The children also loved to use the board. Just using a different median to solve problems or using it for just fun can make a big difference in learning. Some of the items ordered are still one back order, but when they arrive it will be a blessing to the class. Thank you for all your help in these transitioning times. Your help made a huge difference in the learning on the children. Thanks again.”
