Thank you so much for your generosity! I am beyond excited to share the news with my kindergartners! This is perfect timing to get funded for spring and Earth Day! Can't wait to teach about plants and have my students learn how to plant, about seeds, and everything else too!”

This was beyond amazing to wake up to! I can't believe our classroom's project got funded! I am so shocked and excited! I can't thank you enough for caring about education and picking our classroom's project out of many! I can't wait for the white boards to arrive and set them up in our classroom!”

Thank you so much for your help and donations to make this project come to live! Having an air purifier has been huge and we feel like we notice that even more at this time. We have had so many dust storms with the air quality getting to 500. It is nice to know that we have an air purifier in our classroom to help us clean the air. I can't thank you enough for helping me battle our air quality! Thank you for also helping us with getting a spider plant that also helps clean the air from different pollutants and then get essentials oils to help with different odors in our classroom that will help with our moods and concentrations too!”

Huge thank you for funding my classroom project! I am so excited to be able to get snacks, a broom especially since mine got stolen from my classroom, and different materials needed for our classroom! It means so much to me that you have picked our classroom’s project from many different ones out there!”
Thank you for helping me obtain different materials for my classroom! We are running low on tape and we are in need of expo markers! I can’t thank you enough for your generosity! Thank you for helping me and caring about education! It means a lot to me that you picked my kindergartners’ project to fund!”

Thank you so much for helping me obtain snacks for my kindergartners during the school day! I appreciate you helping feed my students and feed them healthier snacks! Around 1:30pm, my students get so hungry and they feel tired, but with a snack they get some energy and they get their focus back! They enjoy the snack and are happy that I can offer something for them to eat. You have helped obtain snacks that have no added sugar, no dyes, and have nutrients! I have been able to expose my kindergartners to healthier snack choices because of you! Sadly, most of my parents don't or can't provide snacks nor healthy snacks for their child even when I have asked. So, I am truly grateful for your generosity!”

Thank you for making this project come to live! I am so excited to bring in butterflies into my classroom! This is one of my favorite things to teach my kindergarteners about! Having them experience and take care of these insects is so beautiful and a great experience! Thank you for picking our butterfly project to fund!”
Thank you for helping me provide healthier snack choices for my students! My students are so hungry midday and it makes me so happy to be able to provide snacks for them so it doesn't disrupt with their ability to learn! It is a big deal to me too the types of snacks that I offer to them especially since I have read what certain ingredients can do. So, I am hoping exposure to healthier less sugar snacks will help on what they pick when they are with their families. Thank you for making this project come to live and helping feed my kindergartners!”
