• Pencils to the Point

  Funded Apr 29, 2020

  You have made completion of class work that is now done at home a lot easier. Your kind help has made working from home a little less stressful. Thank you so much. The boys and girls needed the pencils and sharpeners. These simple supplies have made a difference. Pencils and color pencils are used all day and they get used up and dull quickly. Having a handy supply readily available is just what was needed to help complete assignments. Your generosity has given the boys and girls one less thing to stress over. Thanks again for your help with the supplies of pencils and folders.”

• Outside and Moving

  Funded Oct 1, 2020

  Thank you so much! Your kind generosity has made so many boys and girls feel happy and secure. With virtual learning still going on, the children have to sit in front of the computer so many hours, but your kindness has enabled the children to go outside at their homes and play with new hoops, play balls, and jump ropes. They are going outside to jump, play, and swing around. Your support has provided the items needed by the children to really move around not just stand outside watching the cars go by. I appreciate all your help. Thanks again.”

• Warm & Cuddly

  Funded Aug 3, 2020

  No words can express my gratitude for all your wonderful support. These stuffed animals are just what the boys and girls needed to help them adjust to all the changes in their lives due to school closings and now virtual learning. When I delivered the plush toys to the children, their faces said it all. They were bubbling with happiness when the received their huggable little animal. Just a simple little huggable animals can release stress and at the same time give the children some comfort and security and your kind help has made this possible. Thank you for caring so much about their well-being.”

• I’m Just Dyslexic

  Funded May 6, 2020

  Just wanted to say thank you for all your help. We finally received the books and digraph cards. With everything that is going on, there were delays in shipping, but good thing they arrived just a few weeks after school stated. The boys and girls were so delighted to received the books and other items. I delivered some to their homes since some have learning virtually. They are enjoying the Tom and Ricky Mysteries as well as the leveled books. The children are continuing to learn blends and digraphs so the cards are just what was needed to practice this skill. They needed the reading materials at home and your help made this possible. I appreciate all your support and so do the children. Thanks again.”

• Learning Together Alone, Part 1

  Funded Aug 5, 2020

  Just wanted to say thank you for all your support. The children were delighted to receive the school pencils to complete work. They really needed the dry erase markers . Of course the pencil pouches were a big hit. It was nice for the children to have their little supply of face masks. I appreciate all the support you have given the boys and girls and can't thank you enough. The pencils, dry erase markers and pouches sure did make it easier to keep things in order. Working together yet alone is a challenge, but you have made it easier. I appreciate all that you did for the children. Thanks again.”

• Reading at Home with Mom and Dad

  Funded May 4, 2020

  "Reading at Home with Mom and Dad" has been a great success. Thank you for making this possible. Parents have called and texted me with the fantastic news. Reading at home with mom or dad has helped their child learn and maintain reading.

  Reading the Dick and Jane books has tremendously helped my students. Parents are saying that these books have helped with the recollection of the high frequency words and fluency. I'm so proud of the children. I can only imagine how excited and proud the parents must be. Your help made learning from home a big success and I am truly grateful. I appreciate your support and hope that the children send me some pictures to share with you. Thanks again.”

• Learning Basics

  Funded Jan 26, 2020

  You are truly amazing. Your help has been a wonderful blessing to our classroom and our learning. The children were overjoyed to receive the much needed supplies. The pencils were shared among the children. They got to choose binders for their activities. The binders have helped the boys and girls stay organized. The new dry erase boards are a big hit. They were so happy to know that someone that they do not know would care so much for them. You have brightened the school day of many children. Thank you for all your support.”

• Lets See It, Hear It and Use It!

  Funded Sep 23, 2019

  We can see it. We can hear it. We can use it. The boys and girls can do all this because of your generosity. Thank you for the technology you have provided for our learning.

  Now when I play music or some other internet media, my students can hear very clearly and loudly with the speakers for the laptop. No more straining to hear. The document camera has allowed quick viewing of activities and work to all the students. The children enjoy placing their spotlighted work under the camera for the entire group to see.

  The calculators have come at the perfect time. The children use them to check work and activities. I appreciate everything you have done for the boys and girls. Thanks again.”

• Best Effort Surprises

  Funded Jun 17, 2019

  As you might guess, the "Best Effort Surprises" are a big hit. Thank you so much for supporting the boys and girls as they continue to do their best. The children look forward to getting a little toy or prize for their efforts. Some kids go for the miniature games. Some choose the airplanes or the launchers. Yet, some kids pick a toy for their little brother or sister. You have brightened their day in more ways than one. The children stay on their toes as they complete their assignments. Thanks again for bringing smiles to the school day.”

• Classroom Basics

  Funded Jan 1, 2019

  No words can express my gratitude for your kind support. The boys and girls were so happy to return to school after the holidays and see all the school supplies. They really needed them. The journals were passed out to each student and now they can have plenty of fresh new pages to complete notes and station activities. The children loved the markers and highlighters. Thank you for your support with the school supplies. The sharpeners and the tape dispensers were a big hit for the groups to use. The children just loved all the supplies and of course I am glad to get the copy paper. Once again, thanks for caring about the education of my students.”
