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.

Thank you so much for funding our project! My kids are so excited about the supplies! They have already been using these resources to feel successful in their artistic creations! We are learning the value of art!
This has been a great resource for us to use during our art time, to keep our desks clean, as well as when we have extra time during the day. The students have been working hard to be very organized. This is a wonderful way for them to build their independence.
You are a wonderful member of our society. I cannot tell you how much the students have benefited from these resources. I truly appreciate your generosity!! ”
I want to express to you my gratitude for your donation to my classroom. The listening center that you helped purchase has been a great success. The students are reinforcing their beginning reading skills and fluency by reading and rereading the stories we are using in the classroom, as well as other stories that interest them. Their enthusiasm when it is time for their listening center rotation is indescribable. Often they ask to come in at recess to read another story. They love being able to match their voices to the recorded voice and of course they love using any type of technology.
With these difficult budget times, my students would not have had access to this type of updated technology. With your generous donations, my students have opportunities and take pride in being able to successfully read stories that at first were too difficult. The skills and confidence they are developing will be lifelong skills that will be help them to be successful in life.
Thank you for being a supporter of education and making a difference in the lives of children!”

I want to express my sincere gratitude for your generous gift of the pencil sharpener. It is amazing how much time is being saved now that the students and myself can quickly sharpen their pencils and then get back to work. This resource has also helped students with their writing legibility because they no longer have to use a dull pencil. Students are also learning how to care for important school equipment. I think it is wonderful that you all care about helping our students and again I would like to say how much we appreciate our new pencil sharpener.”
Thank you so much for funding our project! My kids are so excited about the books! They have already been using these resources to feel successful in their reading abilities! We are learning the value of reading!
This has been a great resource for us to use during our reading time as well as when we have extra time during the day. The students have been working hard to be allowed to read more often. This is a wonderful way for them to build their literacy and reading stamina.
You are a wonderful member of our society. I cannot tell you how much the students have benefited from these resources. I truly appreciate your generosity!! ”

Once again, I would like to thank you for your generosity! Your donation has made it possible for my students to develop the skills of a scientist within the context of an honest-to-goodness scientific journal. They have used their journals throughout this school year to organize their thinking, develop their ideas, compose hypotheses, and lay out their procedures and necessary materials prior to experimentation. During their experiments, my students were able to write down all of their observations and record their data, as well as sketch out graphs to help explain their results. Upon the conclusion of their experiments, they were able to use their notes and data to write clear, concise science reports.
Most importantly, your contribution has provided my students with a space in which they could truly explore scientific learning, rather than focusing on their display boards. (An added bonus, of course, is that their final displays are more focused on their work, rather than on merely looking pretty.) I hope that this experience has inspired my students and opened them up to possible careers in science. Thank you for supporting their hands-on learning and scientific inquiry!”
I want to express to you my gratitude for your donation to my classroom. The games that you helped purchase have been a great success. The students are reinforcing their beginning reading skills by identifying and matching beginning sounds of words. Their enthusiasm when it is time for "game day" is indescribable. They aren't even aware that they are reinforcing skills they have been taught because they are enjoying interacting with one another. My students are also learning how to take turns and follow rules of a game. I have seen an increase in sportsmanship between my students.
With these difficult budget times, my students would have had to use games that have been passed down from classroom to classroom, often with missing pieces. With your generous donations, my students have opportunities and take pride in being able to use new games. The skills they are developing will be lifelong skills that will be help them to be successful in life.
Thank you for being a supporter of education and making a difference in the lives of children!”
