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 so much for your generosity! I am so touched by the fact that there are people like you out there willing to help us provide our students with much needed resources. As a Title 1 school our population has many needs and our entire staff is grateful for the materials you have purchased for us. I have told every teacher I know about how amazing all the donors are on donorschoose.org and I will continue to express my gratitude about your kindness. Many of our students come from disadvantaged backgrounds. The resources you have provided gives them the opportunity to process their experiences, making them better learners in the classroom. Saying thank you doesn't feel sufficient for what you have done for us. May others be as lucky as I was to have donors like you!”
We have been using the play kitchen and food in our classroom for several months now. The children were so excited when it arrived that I had to immediately open the large freight and set up the kitchen (which was so easy because it came in one large piece). So far two kindergarten classes and one preschool class use the kitchen on a daily basis. My teacher partner and I have made one of the students' rotating centers the kitchen play! The children are learning everyday home activities and vocabulary by playing with the kitchen. Playing with the kitchen center is by FAR the most popular activity the children choose. I am also extremely impressed with the rugged craftsmanship of this particular kitchen play center. It is built for everyday use and can hold up to small children being rough with the kitchen, as children can be when playing.
You have brought such joy to my class and other classes at our school that use this kitchen center! I am most excited that they don't even realize they are learning while playing with the kitchen and play food! I smile when I see them pretending to cook, bake, wash dishes, and serve food. Small everyday activities like that were hard to teach my students without this play center. Thank you so very much!”
The water bottles and heart monitor are fantastic! The grab their bottles and head to the fitness center to work out. They stop working out long enough to grab a sip of water and run back to exercise some more. You can't imagine how bright their faces looked when I told them that strangers thought so much of them that they wanted to give them these bottles. They were impressed when someone saw the same bottles during a basketball game. This is such a big help to keep them monitored and hydrated.”
With gratitude,
