  • We Want To See!

    Funded Oct 18, 2021

    I am writing to express our deepest gratitude for your generous donation to our DonorsChoose project. Thanks to your support, we were able to purchase a television for the gym at ICE. Your contribution has made a significant difference in our students' lives.

    The new television will be used for a variety of purposes, including showing educational videos, displaying announcements, and enhancing our physical education classes. It will also allow us to host movie nights and other special events, creating a more engaging and enjoyable environment for our students.

    We are incredibly thankful for your commitment to our school and our students. Your generosity makes a real difference, and we are proud to have you as a partner in our mission to provide a well-rounded education.”

  • STEM is Magnetic!

    Funded Oct 11, 2023

    Thank you for your generous donation. I made sure to project on the screen the notification that our project was funded. The students cheered as the heard the news.

    Once the package arrived, the students knew what it was. They were eager to open up the boxes. Once they opened them up, they assisted me in setting them up to the stations corner.

    I have seen them make houses, carnivals, amusement parks, and so much more. These are definitely a class favorite. Their faces are filled with pride as they accomplish their projects.”

  • A Good Place to Explore

    Funded Oct 11, 2023

    First let me say thank you so much for your donation!! So I teach a self contained classroom for students with disabilities. We provide our students with a sensory room that they can go into to self regulate when they are having behaviors. This donation will be used in the sensory room as a space to sit and engage in an activity of their choice.

    My students were so excited to see the boxes come into our classroom and were guessing what was inside. Once the packages were open they all cheered and yelled with enthusiasm. The students wanted to help me put together the table and set the chairs around the table. When my students see something new, they are encouraged to use the equipment and to take care of our special gift. Thank you is never enough!!”

  • Creativity in Movement - Scarves & Ribbons

    Funded Mar 7, 2023

    Thank you very much for supporting our classroom with the scarves and ribbons! The students love the bright colors of the scarves.

    My kindergartners especially love playing and exploring with the materials!! The students use them to explore movement while they are listening to music. We have been exploring the differences in music with a beat and with no beat.

    We are hoping to get more ribbons in the future. We have enough currently for half of the class.

    Thank you for caring for others. When you donate on DonorsChoose, you are changing the lives of students and communities. Your kindness is greatly appreciated.”

  • Put the Art Back Into STEAM

    Funded Feb 3, 2023

    My students were thrilled when they heard our project was funded. We are very limited in school supplies since we are not a homeroom class. Your donation made it possible to purchase the art supplies needed to continue doing our projects in class.

    We have put them to use starting day one. My students are relieved that they can work in pairs and not in large groups due to us having the right amount of art supplies. We cannot express how special we feel that you would choose to donate to our classroom.

    Thank you again.”

  • Gone With the Wind Instruments!

    Funded Mar 14, 2023

    It is with great pleasure to inform you of how your generous contributions have given our students an opportunity to learn a new instrument and continue to play it. This allows our students to enjoy music and find a passion for continuing the arts in the future.

    I have students come back every year and tell me that they still have their recorder and play it. Many of them join band or mariachi. I believe it is because of your generosity that we are able to provide these experiences.

    I only hope that we con continue to make a difference in their lives through every avenue of the fine arts. Thank you.”

  • Let’s Get Creative

    Funded Apr 3, 2023

    Words can not express the overwhelming joy and gratitude that I am feeling right now. Thank you very much for sharing interest in the educational success of my young influential students. Young learners sometimes have a hard time with all the important information that they are expected to learn and remember. These items are going to make it much easier and fun for them. Caring and generous donations make the world a much better place to live. Thank you for supporting my project and showing my students that they are important to others.”
