In the last year, Adam has brought all of us so much joy with his music and being. To celebrate that, let's give back to him for all he does by giving to the kids that mean so much to him.
I want to take this time to personally thank you for your generosity and kindness. I am so grateful that you donated toward my project, and my students are so grateful as well.
Your donations toward our classroom music rug really made a difference for my students. You made it possible for them to have a brighter environment where they can move, dance, and play in our music classroom.
Our new rug gives the students a warm, colorful, and inviting area to perform all of their favorite movement songs, and to play instruments. Thank you again for all that you have done and continue to do in the interest of children.

Thank you so much for your donation to my classroom project: "Freestyle Fridays: From Rapping to Reading and Writing!" Words can't describe how grateful we are! The students are really advancing in their writing. Their confidence in both writing and public speaking/performing is soaring! This is translating into the classroom as we see students that WANT to write and are ASKING for writing time now. You made a difference in our students' learning and lives!”
It is with great appreciation and thankfulness that I submit this letter to you. My students and I have been so excited ever since we received the Cricut machine and paper you funded.
The pictures posted on my account are of Thanksgiving place mats one of my classes made. The students were able to complete this activity in one class period. This is a particular blessing as I only have each elementary grade four times a month and we try to fit in as much as possible each time we meet. Once the place mats were laminated the students had a functional and decorative item to use at home.
Several of my high school students are now preparing to use the Cricut machine to make scrapbooks for a free choice project. A few others will use it to create verbiage and graphics for decoupaged jewelry boxes. Each student will be able to customize their project and have the opportunity to use a specialized tool to which they may otherwise never have been exposed.
Our school is in a high poverty area and faces constant budget constraints. The above projects and more like them would never be possible without your kindness and generosity”
Thank you all so much for your support of the arts in education. Your donations made a huge difference in our marching band program this year.
In large part to the new flags we were able to achieve a Superior rating at our first competition, and a caption in auxiliary (which is the flagline). If you are not familiar with marching band a Superior is the highest rating a band can receive, and a caption is only given to the top group in a given area if the judges feel that one group stood out and really deserved it.
Because of this rating we were eligible to go to State for the first time in almost a decade. This is a huge accomplishment and one that my students will not soon forget. At state they earned a rating of Excellent (the second highest award).
I know that all of this success could not have happened if you had not shown your generosity and helped us get new equipment. Thank you so much you have made a difference to my students lives.”
It is with much appreciation and excitement to thank you for your donations made to my Elmo Document Camera project. The document camera arrived during our first week of school. We were able to get the camera software installed almost immediately. The students and I were amazed!
Our document camera has been a fantastic addition to our classroom. In fact, I cannot even believe the impact that one piece of equipment can have on teaching methods and student learning. We use the Elmo every day. The students have such a high interest to use the camera. They are excited to project anything and everything! The Elmo allows all students to really see. Using the document camera intertwined with our SMART Board is incredible. We can take digital images of anything viewed under the camera and insert them into SMART documents. We project all science experiments large scale and every book in our classroom has become a "big book". Students bring in things every day that they want to investigate closer under the document camera. They are just so excited to learn. The English Language Learner teacher that I team teach with has made several comments about the impact of this one piece of equipment on the student's interest level.
When we were writing our thank you letters, one of my students had said that they wish they could give a big hug to whoever gave the money to purchase the Elmo. So here is a big hug from Mrs. B's class. All of this excitement would not be possible without great people like you. People who value education and want to help make a difference in the classroom. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. ”
Thank you so much for the microphones you have sent our children! When we started this program three years ago, we walked onto a completely empty stage - bare walls, no equipment, and few kids. With the help of the generous supporters of DonorsChoose, we have begun to build a department that includes more kids and creates quality performances.
We are practicing with the new microphones now. We look forward to using it in our upcoming performances. The new microphones will definitely improve our audience's experience!
Your donation helps the students see that they and our department are special and important. By giving them new microphones, these students don't just learn about the performing arts. More students get a chance to participate in it. They experience first hand how teamwork, motivation, and creativity impact their work and themselves. Thank you again for your donation!”
Thank you so much for your generous donation to my classroom. The computer and printer that you donatated have greatly helped my students. We are able to make new pictures for their communication books, create visual picture schedules to help with their daily routine, and design fun activities for them. My students really enjoy cooking and I'm able to make simple picture recipes for my students to follow. This helps builds their communication and functional life skills. We are also able to make materials and homeprogramming activities to send home with the students so they can communicate at home with their family.
You have made such a difference in the lives of my students. Your generosity and support is greatly appreciated. The materials you have donatated will continue to benefit my students and future students. ”
Thank you so much for your generous contribution, not only to my classroom, but to support education. My class (and myself!) is so excited about our new materials.
At an low-income, Title I elementary school, paper is ALWAYS at a shortage. I now have a great computer that I can use for power points, videos and to create interactive lessons!
Additionally, now I can utilize the technology and incorporate it into art!
Again, I can never express my gratitude to you for the new learning tools that you have given my students. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
With gratitude,

The Arts Festival production was a success! The students worked very hard for 6 weeks to put the show together. They were extremely nervous the day of the show. The actors had to perform twice but they were up to the challenge. For transition moments, we had blackouts (when the lights are off) that helped the students relax before going back onstage.
I am so proud of them for their efforts. I look forward to expanding the technical side of my theater class next year for the students who enjoyed working backstage. Again, thank you so much for your donation to my project.
