It is with mixed emotions that I am participating in Mustaches for Kids.

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.

  • An Apple For the Teacher, and the Big Apple for My Students!

    Funded Dec 4, 2009

    Thank you so much for your generous donations to fund a student on our New York trip. Words do not describe what an amazing experience this was for the students. Without your help and generosity, my student would not have experienced this life changing trip. So much was learned on this trip; she will carry the experiences with her forever.

    One of the most memorable stops on our trip was our stop at the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Many of our students, including the student whose trip was funded, are passionate about the topic of immigration. Seeing the sight where our country's ancestors passed through was a very powerful experience. The children were very impressed by the struggles and experiences of those coming to this country with the hope of a better life. Many lessons of American history were learned first hand.

    More current American history was learned, as we visited the site of the Twin Towers site. Our tour guide did a fantastic job describing what 9/11 was like from a New Yorkers perspective. Our students learned a lot about how caring and generous people can be as they toured St. Paul's Church and learned when how people from around the world can to the aid of people in need.

    Also, our students quite enjoyed the architecture of New York. The views of the sky scrapers and city lights from the Empire State building were amazing and our children will remember that beauty forever! We also learned many things about how the buildings were constructed and the people were walked the beams to make them. Also, many churches were toured on our trip and I have many pictures of my students staring up open mouthed and wide eyed at these sites.

    There were so many memorable experiences during our five day trip, it is hard to describe on one thank you note. Please know how grateful we all are at this school that you made the trip possible for a very deserving student! You truly did give her memories that will last a lifetime! Thank you for your generosity.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. B.

  • Elmo Projector needed to Illuminate my Classroom

    Funded Dec 8, 2009

    Thank you so much for your generosity! The Elmo Machine you donated will come in very handy! Everyday my students will be able to reap many benefits from this teaching tool. Learning will happen in more ways that I imagined!

    Currently my class is unable to use the Elmo machine because I also need an LCD projector. I showed my class the awesome gift. They are so excited to use it! They ask each day when we will be able to use it!

    Donors like you, help teachers make learning even more possible!! ”

    With gratitude,

  • Welcome to the World Outside the Classroom!

    Funded Nov 21, 2009

    Thank you for your generous donations! I feel your support as I try to create the best learning environment possible for my students.

    My students were blown away by the LCD Projector. We had to spend some time discussing how the computer screen was projected on the large screen but still controlled by the computer. Several students said it was like a movie when we learned about Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa this week. The LCD projector captured their attention and made it easy for them to engage in the material. It is so important to expose students to technology at this young age.

    I am creating more learning opportunities made possible by your donations for when we return from winter break.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Joyce
