• Empowering Eco-Friendly Education: Reusable Manipulatives for the Classroom

  Funded May 6, 2024

  We cannot express enough gratitude for your incredible generosity in supporting our project to bring reusable educational manipulatives to our classrooms. From math counters that build strong numerical foundations to geometric shapes that bring abstract concepts to life, these tools will provide hands-on engagement for years to come. Our science models will foster curiosity and deeper understanding, while language tools will enhance literacy in an interactive and meaningful way. Most importantly, these resources are not only improving learning outcomes but also significantly reducing our reliance on disposable materials.

  On behalf of our students, teachers, and entire school community, we sincerely thank you for your generosity. We appreciate your belief in our mission and your dedication to creating a better world through education. We look forward to sharing updates on how these resources continue to impact our classrooms, and we hope you take pride in knowing that you are a vital part of our journey toward a brighter, greener future.”

• Calm & Cozy Book Study

  Funded Mar 6, 2023

  My oh my what a difference the fluorescent light covers made! It has helped tremendously to put them in the right frame of mind for learning and staying on task. We are able to work with the lights on, so no one is falling asleep and we're not roasting with the windows closed.

  I can't forget to mention the new pencil sharpener. This has been the longest any pencil sharpener has lasted. It's still going and has cut down the amount of time wasted due to is quick efficiency.

  Thank you again for the "Pie" books and "The BFG" to complete our book study sets. We started the "Pie" book study. My students are thrilled to begin something new and they can't even tell we're practicing their reading skills at the same time.”

• Healthy Minds & Happy Hearts

  Funded Oct 29, 2022

  Thank you so much for your support and your monetary donation. I wish I had taken a video of my students reactions when I pulled out that gigantic lined poster. It's amazing how something so simple yet visually impactful can make them excited for an everyday lesson.

  The social emotional games were very helpful in redirecting my students to make good choices after winter break. It equipped them with more strategies to cope and make mindful choices on a daily basis. We will continue to utilize these resources that you helped provide my student for the rest of this year and to help support my students in the years ahead.”

  Thank you so much for your generous monetary donations. Thanks to you we have an abundance of motivational prizes for students to earn with exemplary student behavior and academic achievements.

• Financial Literacy for Fourth Graders!

  Funded Sep 21, 2022

  With these supplies the students successfully pulled off their first market day. They each had to figure out a product or service to sell. It was amazing to see the students creativity. Some of them made small crafts to sell thanks to the material provided through this project. Other students took a chance and made a game where they charged other students to play. They were successful in the terms that everyone made a profit and were able to have the money to purchase products or play games from their classmates.

  They had so much fun and learned a lot through their market day experience. They now know for the next market day what products sold well, where their booth should be and if they want to work with a parter or not. Thank you very much for helping me provide real life experience with economics and financial literacy.”
