Did I lose a bet with a Packer fan? Or am I just an idiot? Hmmm... That is up for debate. It is with mixed emotions that I am participating in Mustaches for Kids. That's right, for the next four weeks, I will be subjecting myself to public humiliation and private doubt by growing what will no-doubt be a ridiculous looking Mustache.

Thank you very much for your donation for music stands in my classroom. The stands see daily use in classes such as band and show choir as well as during group lessons and assignments. The stands have helped the students focus on their music studies.
At the start of the school year, more than half of the band members were beginners. Since then, the students have grown by leaps and bounds. They are not only an elementary/junior high band that understands musical expression, but also students who know that what they are doing is meaningful and worthwhile. Your donation has helped these students develop a love of music.
Thank you for YOUR love of music and the continued support of music education in our schools.”
Thank you so much for helping out in my P.E. class! Gym teachers often get forgotten. My kids loved playing with the baseball gloves. I had some boys who were so excited that wanted to help me break them in. They brought their baseball glove oil and really made them broken in. They were begging to come in at recess and play with them. The ball gloves were a very nice edition to my P.E. equipment room.
My other teachers thought it was nice to see people caring for physical education. My director of P.E. also is also thankful to you guys.”
I want to thank you very much for taking the time to Donate to our project. The band at our school has had it's share of ups and downs, and this special donation has given them the drive to practice more at home. Thank you for that help.
In our area it is very difficult to get quality equipment into the hands of our students. They have just as much talent as the students in more affluent areas, but can't really compete because of the deficit in equipment. The donation has made a huge impact in their performance. It also have been a big motivator for their personal practice. Since getting the trombone cases, the kids are working harder than ever.
Thank you so very much for your contribution. Your efforts are helping music stay alive.”
We can not thank you enough for your kindness and generosity in supporting our project! The students in my classroom have already benefited greatly from your donations. The Wii want to be healthy project has enable students within my classroom to participate in activities they never dreamed of! The smiles on their faces, the increased level of interaction and socialization as well as the health benefits have been amazing! Plus it has been heart warming for the students and staff to know that so many people across the US care about our classroom and the work we do everyday.
Thank you for your donation to our classroom. We were able to purchase items for a unit on bees to further study their impact to our environment. Students were able to read books, dress in beekeeper attire, view the life cycle of the honeybee, and use an actual beekeeper starter kit to experiment with beekeeping. It was a very memorable experience and your donation helped to make it extremely hands-on.
I believe students learn best when actively engaged in the learning process. Your donation helped make that possible in our classroom. THANK YOU!”
This is just a small token of my gratitude for your donation to our project. The math supplies that we obtained through this grant have allowed the students to expand their skills in fun and exciting ways. The students have been playing games, answering calculator riddles, and solving story problems. As their teacher, it is exciting to watch their enthusiasm for learning grow through engaging experiences.
Without donors like you, many classrooms would suffer. We sincerely appreciate your donation and are grateful for your generosity. ”
A special thank you to those who made this project possible. With your donations, we were able to expand our Cozy Corner by adding the six bean bags chairs. The canopy is an added touch and makes the area so inviting. The children love going to this area to sit and read. As you can see in the pictures, you have created so many smiles and made reading so enjoyable!!!
The children and I are hoping to get Tag Readers and books to add to this area. Keep your fingers crossed!
Your generous donations have provided our art room with a fantastic white board surface. I am now able to post instructions for my students without wasting paper and I can draw demonstrations on the board. The whiteboard is on wheels and is mobile so that we can move it any where in the classroom for all students to see. The board is also magnetic so I am able to hang my artwork examples for each project that we work on. Thanks to you, the learning in my classroom has increased significantly and an entire school has been impacted!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Meyers
