  • Planting Seeds to Grow to the Top

    Funded Oct 1, 2008

    At this point I am speechless and ecstatic all at the same time. I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart and for opening your heart to help my students learn about math using manipulatives. This year I have been really pushing centers and I try to use manipulatives and hands-on materials whenever and however possible to ensure that my students are grasping the concepts they need for 2nd grade. I can assure that your donation will not be in vain or be thrown in the corner of my classroom. I am already envisioning how and when the math centers can be used! I cannot tell you enough how thankful I am for your generosity!

  • Latin Lives!

    Funded Oct 30, 2008

    Thank you so much for your wonderful gift of Robert Fagel's masterful translation of 'The Aeneid.' My students and I are so excited to encounter the memorable character of Aeneas, the tragic Dido, and the wealth of Greco-Roman mythology that awaits us. A poetic respite from our grammar book is often needed, and your kind gift will provide just that. Gratias vobis agimus! (We give thanks to you all!”

  • The Wonders of the Seas

    Funded Oct 20, 2008

    My students will be very excited to experience the touch tank as part of their Marine Biology class. They are seventh and eighth graders who are interested in learning. Several of them have expressed interest in careers in biology and other sciences. This is a wonderful opportunity for them to understand and appreciate unfamiliar forms of life, as they are at the age where they are forming a foundation for who they will eventually blossom into.

    Thank you very much.

  • Disc Golf For A Diverse Student Body

    Funded Nov 20, 2008

    Thank you so much for helping create a disc golf course on our campus. My students were so excited when they heard about it. Some of them are already asking me when we are going to play and to teach them some of the rules. I have asked some of them who have played before to start thinking about how we want to design the course. I can't wait! Thank you, thank you, thank you”

  • Elective Class - Let's Learn to Knit

    Funded Oct 8, 2008

    Please accept this note as a sincere thank you for funding the knitting needles and yarn for my elective class. The idea to teach knitting came from our home economics teacher. She does a short unit on knitting; however, many of the students have never seen a person knit before. Now, with me teaching the basics in 6th grade, they will be more successful next year. Knitting is a cross-over skill and will help them with focus, coordination and even math. Because many of my students come from disadvantaged backgrounds, they would not be able to purchase the necessary supplies. Thank you, again, for thinking of us.
