  • The Perfect Fit

    Funded May 8, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generosity! Because of you our students interest has been moved. Students are enthusiastic to complete a puzzle that they can be successful in as they love puzzles. The puzzles have not only helped with their small motor skills which help to develop hand to eye coordination and their ability to hold things with their fingers, wrists, and hands but have also assisted in life skills. Through puzzles they develop spatial awareness, problem solving, resilence and perseverance. We can't thank you enough.”

  • Calming Area

    Funded Feb 15, 2023

    I can't thank you enough for all the items I received for my calming. Students are able to go to the calming area and process their thoughts. Instead of frustration, my students are able go to this location and figure out a way to deal with their emotions, diffusing some rather chaotic situations.

    Although we are still working on how to make this area work, it has been a complete blessing. Students are able to tell me and express their feelings. The area has helped supply students with a positive way to express their emotions. Thank you for giving my students a voice and tools to express themselves.”

  • Life Is Beautiful!

    Funded Apr 4, 2023

    I cannot thank you enough for your generosity. The children had the opportunity to see and experience the butterfly and ladybug life cycle. They not only learned the life cycle but they were explaining to everyone what they had the chance to do and see. Every year I try to give them this experience but without your support this would not be possible. The projector is amazing and the kid not only had the chance to see it in person but to watch videos, do dances and sing songs about the life cycle. Thank you so much for all of your love and support. We are beyond thankfull for your kindness.”

My students know the importance of lifelong fitness. They understand that physical activity will not only prevent certain ailments and diseases, but in addition, will enhance their academic performance. My students came up with this idea after they did a variety of activities through an organization. They truly enjoyed these activities and want to continue to participate. Physical Education cannot be overemphasized. It develops the body, mind, and emotional health of people's lives. The importance of getting these student moving cannot be overstated. My students want a variety of activities. The materials requested are to engage the students in dance, soccer, and jump-roping skills. These materials will be used to create a Physical Education lesson that will incorporate four corners. The IPod, speakers, and music will be used during the rotations. The students will dance as they are rotating to each corner. The jump-ropes and soccer balls will be used to incorporate two of the stations. The other two stations will include a stretching and catching activities. My students want to build their stamina, strength, agility, coordination, and love for physical education and more importantly their health. Your generous donation will help my students beat obesity, develop teamwork, and generate lifelong fitness. My students are often affected by the events occurring in their communities, causing them to stay within their homes. This equipment will allow my students to become active participants.
