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. In order to justify this endeavor I need your support. Please sponsor my Mustache by picking a classroom project from the list below to support. And wish me and my Mustache luck.

I wanted to again say thank you for your donation to my classroom. My students are wheelchair bound, which makes it difficult for them to access computer stations. Our new laptop enables every student to have easy access to a new and perfectly working computer. Prior to our new laptop, the students would have to share 2 semi-working computers. Now, the students are excited to not only complete assignments on the computer, but to explore the features a brand new computer has to offer. Thanks again for making a difference in my students lives!
Thank you so much for your generous donations! Our leapfrogs and tag reading systems are working beautifully, and my students simply love them. Students who have had a difficult time reading all year long are now excitedly asking for center time and the chance to read one of our tag books.
Further, the leapfrogs are fostering independence amongst my students. Students who previously have had trouble working by themselves are learning to work alone, and are happy doing it!
These leapfrogs have given my students a chance to learn in a completely different way, and they are embracing the technology. Thank you so much for donating to our classroom!”
Thank you for your generosity to our classroom! Adding this technology to our classroom has had a positive impact on our social studies block. I am able to use my laptop to access countless resources on-line.Students are finally able to view videos that dynamically explain the three branches of government or types of maps via the projector. With 26 students, the projector allows for all students within my classroom to be able to view the these resources from their seat. Thank you again for believing in the students of Louisiana! I cannot for you to see the faces of the students that you have impacted!”
With gratitude,

This classroom project was brought to life by Humanity First and 14 other donors.
It is hard for me to express my gratitude for your donation. Before these new bows arrived the students were playing on equipment that was not working. Now that they have properly working bows, their sound is better, their confidence has improved, and they are doing great! Having new bows has been a vote of confidence for these young musicians.
We are proud of our music program here and it is great to have equipment that is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of these students. Thank you for your support and commitment to music education in our schools.”
Wow, that's pretty much my feelings. Thank you all so much for your donations. I just finished painting with my students. I can say that this is the perfect therapy after the hours of standardized test taking we did this morning. We just finished a story in our reading series called "Me and Uncle Romie." Romie is Romare Bearden in real life, a collage artist from Harlem. The students really identified with this story because it talks about life in the inner city, which is exactly like our town. So we just completed our paintings of "Our Town." So much fun!
Also, I am so excited that our reading books have somewhere to go now, on the beautiful new bookshelf. It frees up a lot of room on the classroom shelves, for our games and new art supplies!
The wire rack holds math papers, drying paintings and so much more. And the students can finally see the board with the new dry erase markers on the board.
In closing, the gifts you have provided us are amazing! My students were floored when they saw all of our new supplies being delivered.Then it was like Christmas opening the boxes. They all send a big "THANK YOU!" your way. And I send you mine too. Thank you all.”
Thank you for your generous donations to my project. Without your help, my students would never have these wonderful resources. The students were so excited when the box arrived in the mail and couldn't wait for me to put the new blocks at the centers.
The blocks have been a great way to teach important social skills. We have already discussed how to share, how to work together, and how to solve conflicts. The students have used the magnetic building tiles to make three dimensional shapes. The Lego people make it so much more fun for the students to build at the Lego table. The wooden numbers and the wood blocks make a great new block center. The rainbow design blocks are colorful and allow for much creativity.
I greatly appreciate your support of my project. My classroom will provide an environment that encourages students to use their creativity and imagination. The students will enjoy the materials for many years to come. Thank you! Blessings to you in the work that you do!”
Thank you for supporting my Physical Education program. These are tough time in education. Physical education is not being funded like it needs to be. The Obesity rate in young children is on the rise. I need people like you who are willing to give a little of their hard earned money to support a good cause and to also support my work with my student to fight obesity.
The equipment will be used during my fitness unit. I have 10 fitness stations set-up around the gym.
The sports bands will be used at one of those station. The sports bands help build my students muscle strength and muscle endurance in a safer way then with weights. Students will be able to select between light, medium and heavy strength bands.
I would again like to thank each and everyone of you for your contributions to my project.
On behalf of my students and myself thank you , Gracia's for your kindness”
Thank you for your contribution to my laptop project. The laptops arrived the other day and the children were very excited to be able to start to use them. With the additional computers in the classroom the children will have many more opportunities to explore the Internet and use educational software that the district already provides. We have access to many reading, math, and science resources and now through your generous donation we have two more laptops to make these resources more accessible to the children.
Due to many years of budget cuts my school is operating on a bare bones budget. The laptops that this project has provided my classroom would not have been possible without the assistance from donors like yourself. I appreciate that you took the time to explore the Donors Choose website and that you chose to help fund this project. Thank you very much for supporting my students' academic futures.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Morrell
