Let's face it. A lot of people consider the ACC the minor league of college football. But you know this is just a phase. It wasn't long ago that the boys from the Florida Panhandle were hoisting championship trophies in Tallahassee. The giant on the southern tip of Florida will awaken once again. The new boys on the block in Blacksburg have garnered national respect and many other schools are poised to ascend to the national spotlight. The heart and soul of the ACC may reside on the hardwoods, but that doesn't mean there's not enough heart and soul for the gridiron to get some respect, as well. Fans of the ACC, it's time to join Sports Illustrated's Stewart Mandel and DonorsChoose.org to prove that this so-called basketball conference is ready for a football makeover. Donate to the projects below and prove to the rest of the country that the ACC can spell football, too. hide
Thank you so much for your wonderful gift to my students! I have been anticipating receiving notification that my project had reached full funding, and the funding could not have come at a better time. We will begin preparations for our Science Fair that will be taking place in February, so the books will be put to good use. My students have not been told about the addition to the classroom library, but I am positive they will enjoy it when everything arrives.
Thank you again for your wonderful help and donation. I could not do this job of preparing my students for their future without it. You have made the job I do every day easier.
Thank you so much! I know the children will be thrilled with the hands-on learning that will take place with these life cycle materials! I can't wait to see the looks on their faces when they see real live butterflies, frogs, ladybugs and plants grow right before their very eyes! The books, pocket charts and slides will add so much to their understanding of the transformations taking place in these live creatures. We are exploring an ant farm right now and they are absolutely intrigued by the tunnels and team work they have seen with their new little friends. Your funding has come at a perfect time to add to their excitement and give them so many more science adventures to look forward to!
It's incredible! We are thrilled that you so kindly funded our "Having a Ball Learning" activity. We can't wait until the Balls arrive. Sitting in our classroom all day learning can be stressful, but now because of your generosity, we have an opportunity to be comfortable and focus better on our lessons. Thank you again for caring and taking the time and effort to make wishes come true”
Thank you SO much! My students and I are incredibly grateful for your generosity in funding this project. We will be able to run a variety of laboratory tests in our classroom with your wonderful donation. My students have a deep fascination with water quality and this lab equipment will help them to explore their curiosity in a safe, controlled environment. It is only due to your kindness that I can ensure excellent learning opportunities for my students this year. Thank you”
I cannot begin to tell you how deeply grateful I am for your donation to the flip camera project. Teaching 21st century skills is critical in the new world of globalization. Through your generosity, our wishes for our students will now become a reality. Thank you very much for funding this project and supporting our children and the public education system. Student truly embrace their learning when they are engaged with meaningful and important projects. We cannot wait to get started!
Sincerely yours,
Ms. ”

This classroom project was brought to life by Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and 3 other donors.
Thank you so much for your support of my project. Upper body strength is one of the hardest things for a young student to improve on. With your help my students will be stronger and more successful. If it weren't for your generous donation my program could not afford simple projects like these and my students would suffer because of that. Thank you again for your donation”
Thank you so much for your donation. These tennis balls will be used for dozens of activities in my gym classes that will integrate reading and math skills into physical activity. Without your help I would have never have been able to purchase such a big order. Any chance that a child can get to practice their reading and math skills is great. They will also have so much fun while they do it. My students and I thank you very much”
Oh my goodness! I feel like a child on Christmas! Thank you so much for helping my children read books and get to know the authors. When I signed up on DonorsChoose.org, I was a bit of a skeptic but I stepped out on faith! Whew I'm a believer now.
Thank you so much and hopefully you'll help us out again!
Thank you so much for donating to our project! My students and I really appreciate the support you've given us. I know that this camera will enable us to take much better pictures for both our print paper and our website. The kids count on the resources I can provide since many cannot afford them themselves. Please know that you're an integral part of my students' success”
Thank you SO MUCH for supporting this cause. You don't know how excited I was this morning to receive notification that the Dictionary Grant was complete! The students at Jordan High will truly appreciate the much-needed dictionaries for their classroom. Be assured we will use them almost every day!
Again, from the bottom of this Spanish teacher's heart, I truly thank you”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Bolanos
