I would like to take the opportunity to express my thankfulness to everyone who helped make this project happen. Family involvement is very lacking at our school, for lots of reasons, and so it's important to me to help improve this. I felt a family game night would be just the thing to help spur some involvement, as games are fun and provide quality time amongst friends and family.

There was not a huge turnout, as many parents had late work shifts, but the parents who attended seemed to have fun and it was great to watch the students enjoying time with their families. For some, it was the first time they had played a game together. It was also a different way to expose both the students and their families to science. Even educational games can be entertaining.

The games have seen use since then as well. We have used some of the games for review or as a class reward. Students can check out games so that they can play at home when their family is available. I plan on adding more games to the game library and I look forward to students using their math and science knowledge and having fun while doing so. Thank you so much for making this project possible.”

We are grateful for the laminating pouches! Those pouches are such a help in the classroom because they are so versatile! They help keep documents safe during labs so that we do not have to reprint directions/instructions and they also work really well as dry erase boards! When we laminate a document and use it as a dry erase board, students get so excited because they are able to review information with an Expo maker instead of their typical pencil. They get to feel something new and it changes things up in our room and makes learning a tad more interesting!

The brown clasp envelopes came in handy when we were taking notes! We cut them open to create a large foldable and we glued in information. Students kept asking questions because they were wondering what we were creating with those huge folders!”

We are grateful and thankful for the numerous books we were able to get for our classroom library. It is so nice to see students go and grab a book when we have a few extra minutes in class! My teacher heart smiles:)

The class set of colored pencils was also a big win! We use our interactive notebooks when we need to take notes or review material before a lab or test. The colors help important information jump from the page. Overall, it makes our notes more interesting and appealing! I have over heard many students share that they love how their notes look!”

Thank you so much for the donation to my project. This donation allowed my students the opportunity to be able to use headphones to activate their sense of hearing for learning. This donation continues to impact my students even today because students are using this headphones to be able to listen to virtual learning instruction. They use it to be able to engage in programs such as My On, Imagine Learning, and Imagine learning. Also they use it to practice listening to books for them to be able to perform well on their TELPAS assessments.”

Thank you so much for your amazing contributions! The basic supplies where a huge blessing and we no longer needed to worry about the dreaded "I'm out of glue".

Student were so excited to see that someone else took an interest in their education too. I think their favorite parts were the flexible seating choices that let them pick where they work best.

I know the rest of the supplies will continue to be to good use as foldables for our notebooks and as manipulative and games for anchor stations. Thank you again for your generosity!”
