The Xbox and accessories are amazing! The kids got so excited when they saw it arrive and it brought a smile to everyone's face. This will be used for club activities and the kids will use it to socialize with their friends that come into the room. This will also make the classroom more enticing for general ed students to come in the room for the kids. My goal has been to make this class more engaging and exciting for my kids and this goes a long ways to make that happen. This class is quickly becoming one of the best Special day classes in the area thank you again!”

thank you so much for these wallets they are so nice! Im hoping to do this project every year for the kids so that they are able to have their own personal wallet so that they can keep their personal ID's as well as their own money so that they can have some sense of independence as well as get their personal finances organized. The wallets are super nice and everyone is excited for them and we will be using a leather burner to burn their names on them to personalize them! W are so excited thanks again!”

Thank you so much for these comic books the kids absolutely love them. A lot for the kids struggle to find books that they are interested in and when kids have content that they are interested in they they are much more engaged. We have a station for the kids that is run by an adult where they can check out the comic books and read them with the adult. The kids were so excited when they opened them up and realized what they were. A lot of the kids now always enjoy dragon ball and pokemon and really enjoy reading them.”

This was fantastic the kids were so excited to see this when it showed up. After I put it together we served everyone popcorn and they were so excited to see it pop in the machine. The kids will start to be trained on portion sizes so that they can make it and it can even be used during club events. The kids will be able to help us run concessions for our class and they are so excited. The popcorn machine makes popcorn super clean and efficiently, It is easy to clean and it is a self contained unit so it is safe in a special ed classroom!”

The students absolutely loved this! It was fun building it as a class and getting the structure together for our class bunnies. We have had it since the beginning of the year and the rabbits have really made their home in this home and love the step up so they can have privacy and the bottom area so the kids can view them. This has been such a joy to our class and the kids enjoy every bit of it. Every morning the kids take turns feeding the pets and cleaning the cage and because this is such a high quality cage its easy to clean! Thanks Again!”

The kids absolutely love the couches that we received. They offer a nice break from the desks and they help the kids decompress when they get stressed or they need a break from conventional school work.
Its also a nice incentive for the kids to work for so that they can do their work on them if they earn enough tokens in our token economy system in the class. The couches make the special day class feel more comforting for the students as well. Being that the class stays in one class for a majority of the time making the class comfortable is important.”

Thank you so much for your charitable donation. The kids LOVE the speaker. We use it all the time in our class during groups and even during our transitions on top of PE. The kids get to take turns picking songs and it has really livened up our classroom. Thank you again it really has made a huge difference in our classroom and it is very high quality it will last for a very long time. That light show that the speaker does is also another plus, because it is entertaining and relaxing at the same time when the kids need to decompress in our decompression area in our classroom. Thanks again!”
This project was magnificent for the class. It was super exciting to open it up and let the kids pick the plants that they wanted to plant. They chose cherry tomatoes, zucchini, and pumpkins. The good news is we have a planter box to transfer the saplings too once they are too big for the Ponix. This is a really good science activity for the kids and they get to enjoy the life cycle of the plants and learn a ton while watching them grow in the classroom.
The nice part about this project is that it is indoors and its very easy to set up all i had to do is add water after we planted the seeds and the plants took off. Thank you again this will be a very fun project that we can do every year with the kids!”

Thank you so much for your donation! This animal cage has been phenomenal for the students! They have all learned responsibility and rose to the occasion to take care of them. Our plan is to eventually put chickens in it but one of our students donated their pet rabbit and guinea pigs and we ended up putting them in there for the time being. Never the less thank you so much this project was a great success and the students love our new class pets! In special ed we always look for new ways to engage students and this was a great way to add a cool feature to the class!”

My kids absolutely love this gift that you have given to our classroom. Every day they check out the tarantula and see how it is doing. It is a joy to have in the classroom and the kids absolutely love looking at her every day. We had a vote on her name and named her Telula. Thank you again for all of your kind gracious donations they have both enriched my classroom and helped make a more fun learning environment for my students. They now enjoy coming to school a little bit more than they already did!”
