  • Feel the Beat

    Funded Dec 6, 2006

    There is so much history as well as current events that are directly tied to music. This magazine will be a great resource to reinforce the standards in music of history and culture as well as present day musical styles, musicians and other artists. This resource will also allow me to reinforce cross-curricular lesson planning ... i.e., how music ties to science, social studies etc ...

    Thank you for this donation to my music classroom”

    Thank you so much for your more than generous donation. It is people like you that keep programs like mine running and the students out of trouble by keeping them off the streets. With this donation I will be able to accommodate many students and give them the proper equipment they deserve. I hope this letter finds you in good health and that you will enjoy the fact that you helped and continue to help make a difference in students' lives that would otherwise never have this opportunity.

At the time of this letter, our baseball team is 5-0 going into a Spring Holiday Tournament over Easter/Passover Break. With your generous donation, my students/athletes will be able to move towards the next level of play on the field and during training in the off-season. I have already told my players of the items that we will receive and they are extremely excited. I hope that if you have the time, you can come to see us in action.

  • Send my girls to The Cirque du Soleil!!!

    Funded Mar 24, 2006

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I am so grateful for your donation to my grant proposal, "Take My Girls to The Cirque du Soleil!"

    Words cannot even express how grateful and thankful I am for your expression of generosity and kindness! When I posted the grant proposal, I honestly had little idea that taking the girls to the Cirque du Soleil would become a reality as it seemed quite a "pipe dream" at the time. However, in just a short six days, the entire project was funded-- and I was awed at the sheer generosity of others, who were so willing to donate so that adolescents they did not even know would have an opportunity to enjoy a cultural experience in New York City!

    My girls too are in awe that people they do not know would sponsor a trip for them. It made them feel really good that people that they do not even know care about them and are willing to go the extra mile for them. The girls are very excited and were all smiles when I told them that we would be attending The Cirque du Soleil!

    I am so grateful and so thankful for your support. Thank you for taking the time to help improve the education and lives of the girls I work with. I am deeply indebted to you, and wish that I could thank you personally! Thank you for caring enough to make this happen, and for taking the time to support the emotional, academic, and social growth of a cause that is so important-- my students.

    Sincerely yours,

  • New Computer for a Low Income School

    Funded Mar 21, 2006

    I do not know how to thank you for this gift. It is very difficult for me to express how much time you will save me each day. My current computer is very slow and this will allow my students the opportunity to view presentations without any freezing or crashing. Thank you so much from me personally and also from all of my students. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you so much for your kind donation. We have very few resources at Brandeis and the kids appreciate the care and attention shown by donors like you. As much as it makes my life easier as a teacher, it will mean that much more to my yearbook staff.
