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.

What a wonderful gift to my students! I am so indebted to each and every one of you for your support and generosity!
The Healthy Keiki supplies arrived and were so much more than I had imagined! There are wonderful manipulatives and games, centers that hit reading, math, and science standards, felt foods and exercise tools... so much to inspire and educate young students!
These materials came at the end of our school year, and were a perfect way to wrap up math and science for the year. Students loved being able to work with the materials on their own to learn during center time, and then share their new knowledge with the class during lessons.
Your gift has really helped my young students think about healthy choices they can make, both over the summer, and for the rest of their lives, to keep themselves happy and in top form!
Thank you for giving my students and myself the opportunity to have this wonderful device in our very own classroom. Having an interactive whiteboard is a tremendous benefit to my students. My students are now able to participate in engaging interactive lessons that meet their various learning styles.
I can bring the world into my very own classroom. My students are being provided with learning experiences that will enable them to gain the skills that they need to succeed in the 21st century. Your kindness means the world to my students and me.
Your donation has guaranteed that all students who enter my classroom will experience authentic learning and the subject matter at hand will come to life! Once again thank you - you are keeping students smiling and expressive in sharing their interactive learning journey.”
Thank you all again for helping make this project a reality! The materials arrived, were put to use, and they have served as powerful tools for my students. I'm already noticing a big difference in the children's abilities to think more clearly in terms of money. They are all eager use the resources on a more daily basis. I love that my students want to play games that are actually directly helping them to succeed in building a stronger foundation in their money skills!
My students couldn't believe that the supplies were donated by caring people who don't even know them by name. I am so grateful to have these resources for my students. My school is constantly facing a lot of challenges, and this project will make things a lot easier for this class and future learners. I'm excited to incorporate the daily skill journals with my future class from the very beginning of the school year! Thank you again for being so kind.”

I want to express my sincere appreciation for your donation. My students are excited to use the new materials which your support has provided.
The children use their new binoculars to discover a variety of animals and birds living in the area around the school. The kids take their observation journals along with them, in order to record what they see. The students' level of enthusiasm while exploring their new outdoor classroom is so exciting. The students are even more excited to be able to share their experiences with the community and it's all because of you.
Inside the classroom, we are able to view the happening inside our birdhouse placed just outside our window. It is able to be connected to our whiteboard in which we are able to monitor changes. Instead of simply reading about it in books or on the web the students are experiencing the reality of it all! P.S. We have put the donated bird stencils and bird drawing book to great use. We hope you enjoy the official student thank you letters coming your way!”

Our "Green Day" was such a success thanks to all of your combined support! The students were very excited to start the day learning about conserving energy and helping our environment. Your donations made it easy to go about the day without using paper! The students began their day by painting the collage pots that you have generously donated to us! They also added their own special designs with mosaic tiles. We turned oatmeal containers into gift boxes for the collage pots. Tomorrow, we will be planting flowers in them so that they can bring home a special gift to their mom's for this coming weekend (shh, it's a surprise).
Using the cow magnets left students feeling quite amazed that iron can actually come out of the breakfast cereal known as Total! It was such a great lesson to watch. I have never seen so many different reactions come out of one classroom. All of my students want their own cow magnets to bring home so that they can continue to be scientists and test some other foods that they consume! You have had such an impact on the students and they "can't believe that there are nice people who would donate cool pots and magnets to our classroom"! ”

I cannot begin to express my gratitude towards your generosity in helping to fund this project for our kids. They are so excited to begin working on the project. It is so great to know that there are such generous people out there, who don't even know the kids personally, who are willing to help.
This project will allow my kids to shine in areas they may not have had a chance to in the past. You have also helped them to realize potential in new areas and ignite a passion for learning through science and technology. The materials you have funded are important to the building of the robots and the future research they will be conducting.
I am looking forward to see what are kids are capable of and what they will be able to give back to the school and community through this project.
Thank you again and keep an eye out for pictures and progress of the project!”
Aloha and mahalo for your generous donations to my classroom!
My students are working hard to learn basic phonics reading skills, and to master the sight words for Kindergarten! Sight words are so challenging for students to learn, because they break most of the phonics rules and need to be memorized, instead of sounded out! This can be very difficult for students, but your donation is making them more successful than ever with these skills!
Being able to use the DVDs, books, games, cards, and worksheets in class has made a huge difference! Students are enjoying learning sight words, and are proud of their accomplishments every day! They know they are learning words, and it makes them feel soooo good!
Thank you for helping make my students feel excited and proud about reading skills, and for making my job just a little easier with fun, interactive teaching tools!”
Our wonderful new tenor saxophone arrived today! You should have seen the excitement on the faces of my students. They know the importance of a balanced sound in the band and how this instrument will help to even out our sound. Thank you so much for supporting this project. This instrument would have never been able to fit into our school budget. My students and I are so grateful for your generosity. This instrument will be able to balance out our band for many years to come. Thank you again for your support and for giving us the gift of music.”

I would like to take the time to truly thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity. Your compassion to education has revitalized me as a teacher, and I am incredibly excited to bring the science experience to life with help of this new projector. My students are going to benefit tremendously from this new technology in the classroom, and without you it would not be possible. My students are truly blessed to have the support of kind hearted people like yourselves, who understand the importance of education.”
With gratitude,
Teacher
