I was making my monthly donation at Donors Choose and it was hard to pick which project to donate to. All these teachers asking for basic supplies for their classes. If I could fund them all, I would. So I thought I'd pass it on to you.
  • Starting Off On The Right Foot!!

    Funded Nov 9, 2008

    I am so very grateful to you for you helping me help my students. When I first submitted my proposal, I knew that some of my students would not be able to afford their supplies. But with the economy the way it is this year, it has been extremely tough on some of my students and their families. Though some of my students brought some of their supplies, this year only seven of my students brought all of the supplies on the school supply list. My school district has also gone through some money woes. Even though I am saying thank you from the bottom of my heart, I don't think just my thanks can let you know how much your generosity really means. It means a lot. Thank you.

  • First Day of School Essentials

    Funded Oct 2, 2008

    Thank you for you kind donation. My students will be extremely happy when I tell them the good news this morning. You don’t know how much joy and motivation you will bring to them. We will use the materials as soon as we get them. Knowing my students, they will be asking for them every day. Words alone cannot express the gratitude we feel for your contribution. Thank you so much for your help!

    Sincerely,

  • Fantastic First Day of First Grade!

    Funded Dec 11, 2008

    Thank you for your support of my class! They are such sweet kids and they really do learn things better when they get to do hands-on projects. It is so hard for them to work in text books all day, but without simple supplies that is what we must do.

    I can't wait to plan things for this Spring. My class really needs to practice their math skills, so the math games will be such a fun way for them to do that!

    Your gift is such a blessing. Happy Holidays.

  • The Perfect Beginning

    Funded Dec 11, 2008

    Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness and donation. My students and I are so excited about this project getting funded. There are a lot of activities I would like to do with my class, but I am limited to what I can do because I don't have any construction paper and we are also limited on our copy paper. Thanks to your generosity we will be able to use our creative minds more in class. Thank you so much and we wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

    Thank you,

  • Desperately Needed School Supplies

    Funded Nov 13, 2008

    Thank you so much for your generous donation towards school supplies for my students. In the next few months, the supplies that I purchased for my class will run out, so this donation could not have come at a better time.

    I look forward to showing my students their new supplies when they arrive. I know that they will be thrilled and touched that someone took the time to support their education.

    Thanks again,

  • Desperate For School Supplies. Please Help!

    Funded Nov 8, 2008

    Thank you so much for your generous donation. Your donation has come at a wonderful time. We are completely out of pencils and glue sticks! We have not been able to use our student dry erase boards due to the lack of dry erase markers. I am also thrilled that my class will finally have their own journals. I have been making copies of individual sheets and it simply is not the same. I am so grateful for your donation. I cannot wait to share this wonderful news with my kindergarten students! Thank you once again”

  • Tools for School

    Funded Oct 8, 2008

    Thank you so much for funding my proposal, "Tools for School." Your funds will go a long way towards purchasing basic, needed items such as primary crayons, construction paper, paint, scissors, and a new heavy-duty pencil sharpener, among other things. My students are in need of many of these supplies right now, so everything will be put to immediate use.

    These supplies are needed by my students to get the job done in Kindergarten. Due to your generosity, my students this year, and in years to come, will have their tools for school.

    Thank you again for your generosity and thoughtfulness.

  • A Pencil For Every Student

    Funded Oct 2, 2008

    When people find out that I choose to teach in the "project schools" they ask me why. My answer is simple: someone needs to show these students that someone cares about them and that they are worth the time and effort. I teach them that nothing can or will hold them back except themselves. There is no way for me to express what these supplies will mean to my students. It has been a struggle for many of my students to bring in notebook paper and binders let alone all the items I have requested in this proposal. I know that once the materials arrive my kids will treat them with care and cherish the ability to start collecting the data from the experiments while using pens and pencils. Thanks again for this generous contribution for my children”

  • Making Students Ready To Learn

    Funded Oct 2, 2008

    Thank you for taking interest in my students. I am amazed by the generosity that has been bestowed upon us. My students will be very excited to hear that people they don't even know have spent their money on them. These supplies will be very much appreciated and all my students will benefit. Again, thank you”
