I just wanted to say how unbelievable this is to receive such a gift. This gift will help me teach all of my students in an exciting new way. It will greatly benefit my visual learners. This will also help me to teach my students power point to aid them with projects and further their creativity. I can't thank you enough for this generous gift for me and my students”
We are so very fortunate for your generosity and thoughtfulness. It is so exciting to know that I will actually be able to use the technology that I have been trained in for the education of my students. They will be thrilled to have our class be more multi-media based. This will help my students be more informed about technology and more motivated by the different modes of instruction that I can now provide. We are truly honored by and thankful for your donation.
Thank you so very much,

Thank you so much!!! I am so excited for my class and can't wait to use the projector in my classroom. I am confident that math and all other subjects will be more interesting to my students. I can't thank you enough for your generosity. I am so grateful for your interest in the Public School system and my class. Your donation will make a life long impact on my students.
I am thrilled! The technology in our school is so outdated I don't think my kids will know what to do when they see this LCD projector in our classroom. It will be so fun to teach them how to do research on the Internet. And have them create power point presentations to share with the class. The options are endless. Our president-elect has stated the need to update America's school buildings in order to catch our students up with the world of education and thanks to your donation my classroom is well on its way to being a 2008 learning environment. I plan on sharing this equipment with at least the rest of the English department so I am sure this projector will be used several times a week. Thank you thank you thank you”

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much! When I checked my email today and saw that my request had been funded, my heart skipped several beats! I am so excited to receive this wonderful gift from you! My students are really going to benefit from having an LCD projector. Now I can give more technology-based assignments and the students can get more practice with public speaking and presenting in front of an audience. Thank you again for your contribution. You'll never know the level of gratitude that I feel right now. Your generosity means the world to me and will mean the world to my students”

How can a simple "thank you" be adequate? You have just touched so many young minds with your generosity! By supporting this project, you have ensured that I will be able to begin truly integrating technology into my classes and stimulating my students to explore the world of art and their own imaginations. Thank you!
Sincerely,

Thank you so much for the replacement bulb. My students are going to get hours and hours of use out of the projector that we can now use. It is greatly needed because of the budget cuts this item would not be ordered otherwise. They are an expensive item and we greatly appreciate your thoughtfulness and generosity.
When I shared with my students that you funded our project, they were very excited and overjoyed. Please first let us say many thanks to you. We will make very good use of it in learning the Chinese language and culture, as well as sharing our work.
We really appreciate your kindness and generosity in supporting our learning Chinese as a foreign language, which also motivates us to study harder. Thank you.
Yours truly,

I am so grateful that you were willing to fund this project. In the classroom, we will literally use the projector daily so your gift will continue to give. The funds that you gave to this project this early in the year will truly improve my students' chances of acquiring and retaining information. The projector helps to reach the audio/visual learners that are typically overlooked in the classroom. I cannot wait to tell the students this morning that the projector is coming and they can begin to work on their PowerPoint's about the college they are studying. Thank you so much”
