  • A Safe Space!

    Funded Nov 29, 2022

    I cannot thank you enough for our cart. We can take our items anywhere necessary. When it's sunny, we can move them under the shade. When it's raining, we can move them in the classroom. When we eat snack we can take them with us to the auditorio or eating area. When we need to move them because of safety, we can do it easily and quickly.

    Because of your love and support, our littlest learners don't have to worry anymore about their items getting flipped over or rained on. This cart has brought so much peace of mind to everyone. We are beyond thankfull for your contributions.”

  • Basic Necessities!

    Funded Nov 29, 2022

    Thank you so much for your kindness. We have been able to complete so many projects and activities thanks to your generosity. You have made our littlest learners so proud of their accomplishments.

    The children love that people care enough about them to make sure we had what we needed to succeed. I wish you could've seen their surprised faces and the joy in they expressed.

    We are currently going to work on coloring a rainbow and pictures of ourselves. These items will come in handy in supporting their social emotional well being.

    Again, thank for your love and support.”

  • Yuck! Germs!

    Funded Aug 7, 2022

    Thank you for helping us stay healthy. Because of you we can continue to keep our hands and school supplies clean and sanitized. The children know the importance of washing their hands and sanitizing. Although we have gotten sick, I can't help but to think how much worse it could have been without your support. To be able to see their beautiful smiles everyday is such a wonderful experience. There's nothing worse than feeling sick, so we greatly appreciate your love and support. Thank you once again for helping us stay in school and focus on what's important, ourselves.”

  • Life is Beautiful!

    Funded May 3, 2022

    I cannot begin to tell you the gratitude I have for your support. Our dream would not have been made a reality without your donations. Our students not only learned about insects and the life cycle through books and pictures, but had the opportunity to expand their knowledge through an actual experience and real life butterflies and ladybugs. The students were thrilled and wanted to know more. I cannot thank you enough. This was an amazing project that completely impacted my students. They have built a foundation and love for learning thanks to you.”

  • From ABCs to Mozart

    Funded Apr 19, 2021

    Thank for your support. My students are enjoying a variety of music thanks to your contributions. Not only do they get to sing the ABC's, but they are also learning about tempo, beat, and pitch. We are enjoying music to sing to, to dance to, and to play music too. I hope the pictures can demonstrate the joy you have brought to our classroom. Our students love singing, dancing, relaxing and even playing music, their imagination is the limit. Know that all of this is possible because of your generosity and kindness.”

  • Build Me Up!

    Funded Feb 21, 2021

    I cannot thank you enough for your generosity. Our students loved receiving the Legos. It allowed us to accomplish so much. Legos Challenge was complete hit. They loved sharing what they did, what they could do, and what they planned to do in the future. It boosted their small motor skills, creativity, language, problem solving skills, and more importantly their self-efficacy and self-esteem. When the in-person students had the opportunity to take theirs home, they were beyond thrilled. I hope you know you made a tremendous difference in our class and for that I am beyond grateful.”

  • Put a Shirt On Me

    Funded Feb 9, 2021

    I wish you could see the joy in my students' face. It was an amazing experience. The students loved sharing their drawings. They encouraged each other to draw and then voted on which owl they liked the most. When they had the opportunity to see the final product, the smile on their face said it all. They were all in aww. They were eager to show their family members their name on their shirt. The students loved wearing their shirts each Friday. It definitely brought unity between the in person students and the online students. As they noticed that some of their friends were not there, the shirt brought unity to the entire class.

    Thank you for your wonderful donations! During a very difficult time, you brought unity to our classroom.”

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.
