Let's help public school kids live healthful lives. How? By getting teachers the resources they need to launch school gardens, to promote nutrition and fitness, and even to teach math through cooking.
What an amazing list of donors and well wishers to enhancing our school garden. A garden grows and changes and morphs into something different each year. We have been working on our garden for about four years now. It is still a work in progress, but the changes have been wonderful for the kids to see. We have been under the guidance of a master gardener. She has been able to show us irrigation techniques, choosing correct plant varieties, and most recently, determining good soil choices for these new beds. Thank you so, so much for your support.”
Thank you so much for making this project, An Exercise A Day Keeps The Doctor Away!Form, Fitness, Function, Fun!, a reality! It's still hard to believe that we have received all these wonderful materials! Your generosity and thoughtfulness mean that my students have easy access to a variety of fun and fitness equipment. We have bouncing balls, a high-tech air compressor, a tug-o-war rope, and a storage/transportation cart. Your generosity means that my students will equate exercise with fun. All my students - from the outgoing to the quiet and shy, are so engaged and happy and full of smiles. Already I can the difference these materials have made with our P.E. time. The diversity and excitement of each activity has improved their interest and effort.
Your precious gifts mean so much to them, since most live in densely populated streets and apartments. Exercise and play is unfortunately, limited to the school setting. It's so awesome to know that there are so many angels and advocates for the health of today's children. The fact that you opened your hearts and wallets for students that you have no direct relation to, shows what wonderful people you are. So to all my friends and new friends, especially to the Schroeders who so graciously finished this project - THANK YOU for being our heroes.”
Thank you so very much for helping to get my first graders a brand new apple computer for our classroom. The students were thrilled to get a new computer. All of the students applauded when the computer arrived in our classroom today.
Thanks to you, we will soon be able to do research about different cultures around the world. My first grade students and I are all extremely grateful to you for all that you do to support my class.
Your donation had a huge impact on my students. Thanks a million for being our hero. Thanks again.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Finkelstein
This classroom project was brought to life by JP Morgan Chase and 53 other donors.
I just looked over the long list of donors an feel blessed by having such a large group of supporters for this project. I had asked for classroom essentials, consumable materials that we use during the school year that needed to be replenished.
A few of the items I added to the request list were for keeping the room tidy and clean. We now have a vacuum, wipes, and Plug-ins. All of these items are to help keep our room clean and healthy. It feels nice to walk into the classroom and have the warm smell of spiced apple. The vacuum and wipes are used by the students to keep our floor and tables clean on the days we don't get vacuumed.
The plates, cups, baggies are all consumables that we use on a regular basis. We use them for math to sort objects, to store flashcards, and to help keep our room organized.
Thank you for providing these essential supplies. They may seem like trivial materials, but these are the materials that help the classroom run smoothly.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Azevedo
