Alright, here we go...as the (self-appointed) leader of the Baltimore Urban Debate League hair club, for the next four weeks, I will be subjecting myself to public humiliation, private doubt and the wrath of my significant other by growing what will no-doubt be a ridiculous looking Mustache. In order to justify this I need your support. Sponsoring my sweet 'stache will help BMore public school kids, who, for the most part, I like a lot. So do it.

  • Word Wizards

    Funded Dec 21, 2009

    Thank you so much for the contribution you made on behalf of our class! Thanks to you my students were able to create their very own Word Wizard "Picture Dictionary" by using alphabetized page templates and the 3 ring binders that you helped to purchase for our class. Students added each of their weekly vocabulary words to their word wizard binders, wrote a sentence using each word, and drew a picture to help show the meaning of each word added. This made learning new words fun for our class. At the end of the school year, students will be given extra page templates and encouraged to continue to add new words over the summer. It is very important for students to learn thousands of new words each year in order for their comprehension skills to keep up with their grade level. Because of your support, students did an outstanding job on the vocabulary section of their standardized 2nd grade test. Without your help our goal of learning at least 1000 new words in 2nd grade would not have become a reality. Please allow me to tell you how thankful my students are. One of my students stated that Donors Choose is like a "Fairy God Mother" for teachers and students. Another student says ask Donors Choose when I tell them that we don't have something that our class wants or needs. It makes them feel good to know that someone is there to support their academic needs. My students will get to keep their personal dictionaries at the end of this school year along with the many memories they created each day while using the binders that you helped to provide. Our entire class truly appreciates your generous donations and we hope that the same blessings of kindness and generosity that you have shown to us will be bestowed upon you. There are many people in many places that you could have chosen to help but you chose our class. Your philanthropy will never be forgotten.”

    With gratitude,

  • "A More Perfect Union"

    Funded Dec 15, 2009

    What caring individuals you are! You brought this project to life for the 3rd graders in my class. They really got excited about the different lessons taught. During our lesson on landforms, we had several visitors from the National Center for Urban School Transformation in our class. They watched us make geographical models of our nation. Our visitors were just as excited about having the children engaged in learning as I was. I told them about Donors Choose and how thoughtful and kind you were to send the children all the needed supplies to complete our unit. I am so enthused to have all of you caring adults as part of the student's learning.

    Also, the large posters that we got were awesome. They contained vital information on the back which really got the students "awing" and "owing". We also have the "Daily Geography Activities" – the students put them on the overhead when they work in their groups. With all the resources that you have provided, several classes are benefiting from the items. Honestly, you have really reached lot students with your kindness. ”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Bailey
