In August 2017, Hurricane Harvey caused significant damage to many schools in Southeast Texas and Louisiana.
Your support helped impacted teachers and students get the supplies they needed to rebuild their classrooms.
Thank you to our generous donors and corporate partners, including Boosterthon Fun Run, Craig Newmark Philanthropic Fund, The DICK'S Sporting Goods Foundation, Perry & Donna Golkin Family Foundation, PwC, SONIC Drive-In, Sprint, Staples, and Townsend Press, for supporting teachers and students impacted by Hurricane Harvey.
We are no longer adding projects to this giving page, however a generous donor is currently matching donations to Hurricane Harvey projects from this page.

Thank you coming through and giving my students the technology they need to do station work for STEM activities in our math and science class! They are also able to use technology apps like flip grid and see saw! This year, our new students are also able to use the iPads in our daily rotations. This year the students are so engaged and always expressing their love of leaving and happy to have the technology like other students in our districts have! Our class has about 17 low income students so it's very hard to give out homework that requires the use of the internet. Now with iPads my students can do their homework after school and I have parents pick the up after wards! It's a win win! Thank you once again for your support!”

This classroom project was brought to life by The Rebuild Texas Fund and one other donor.
We required basic supplies after the hurricane took all our classroom supplies. We used all the supplies for everything we do in class. We were still able to create projects for our table stations. I was able to give all the students pencils, paper, and notebooks to have the basic needs. The students were so excited when they were finally allowed to come back to school after a month being out of school. They thought they would have nothing because they lost most of their stuff at home.
We were thankful for our donors because we were able to have enough supplies for the rest of the school year. The students did a great job catching up with their lessons and they would not have been able to if we didn't have great people that donate to classrooms.”
I would like to take this opportunity to thank our donors. Hurricane Harvey had a tremendous impact on our community. Our school struggled to get back to normal. The supplies I received helped my students to return to normal. It was easier on the students and parents to have supplies at the school and not have to worry about purchasing them.
My students used the markers and colored pencils to create anchor charts and other projects that had a positive impact on our state assessment scores. My students became very creative. Some of the anchor charts were displayed in the hall and helped other classes prepare for the state assessment.
My students were happy to receive the supplies. They were surprised to receive the bins that helped to organize their materials. My students were so excited about science after receiving the supplies that many of them registered for the STEM middle school located in our district. Thank you for helping me give my students a love for learning science.”

Thank you for helping us expand our knowledge. We use the Chromebooks to research and find the answers to our questions. My students enjoy getting their questions answered and trying to find solutions to their problems themselves. Research is important to success and my scholars want to succeed. These supplies have helped my students become problem solvers and model builders that have helped them explain their natural world.
Although the Chromebooks were a hit, the students were excited to receive colored pencils and markers. They used those items to create projects that were beautiful and demonstrated their knowledge of various subjects.
At first, many of my students were not computer literate. However, they quickly gained experience researching interesting topics. As a result of these resources, we have become better prepared for future endeavors in STEM areas. Thank you for providing us with many learning opportunities.”

Thank you for donating the Hot Dots and headphones to our class. My students are loving the Hot Dots and their math fluency is increasing! They are enjoying using the headphone during our math rotations so other students can work independently while they are enjoying math games on the ipads. Both items have made a positive impact on my class.
The headphones have been such an asset to my classroom. We use them on a daily basis. The students have taken the responsibility of taking care of them.
Thanks so much!”

The students and I would like to thank you for your donation to our classroom. You provided us supplies that were greatly needed. We lost most of our classroom supplies and personal supplies after the storm.
We are thankful that you helped us and helped me as a teacher, get the lives back to normal as possible for the students. We were able to provide them with school supplies and continue with our stem projects with the other supplies.
The students were delighted when all the boxes arrived and they saw all the supplies in the boxes. The school has always been a safe and constant place for kids. You helped with creating a welcoming environment.
Our students were very excited when we received all the new yoga balls as well as the carpet. My Pre-k students loved their story & puppet time on the carpet. Some students comments where "Mrs. Cole we don't have to sit on the cold floor. To see their smiles on their face was priceless. We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Having a warm comfortable environment makes learning fun and the students look forward to coming and visiting the library. Some days I have to make them go back to class.”

Thank you so very much for helping me get wobble chairs in my classroom! This has been an excellent addition to our flexible seating. My students of benefited in so many ways from having these seats available to them. Not only have they began to gain more focus; but they are also motivated to continuously make positive choices both inside and outside of the classroom. Your generous donations are greatly appreciated by both myself and my students. Thank you so much once again for your continuous support for our classroom!”

Thank you so much for the camera equipment. It made a tremendous difference this past year to my students. My students were able to record and successfully edit their projects due to your small acts of kindness. A lot of my students do not have Internet access at home. Therefore the Ipad was of great use, they were able to use it during school hours to upload videos.
We also are in love with the Nikon camera it takes great still shots and videos. My students have become very skilled with their recording techniques based on this camera. I believe that all of my students have warmed up to the new technology presented to them in this past school year.
Donorschoose.org made this opportunity possible. We can not thank the donors enough but hopefully this letter with show a small token of our appreciation.”
