  • Learning is FUN!

    Funded May 5, 2025

    Thank you so much for putting a little FUN in the end of the year activities. We will continue our learning and also be able to celebrate with some fun activities thanks to your help!

    The students will be so surprised and very thankful for these supplies when they arrive. Thanks again and again!”

  • Bilingual Readers

    Funded Apr 9, 2025

    Thank you so much for partnering with us to give books for our classroom. Your impact is felt beyond the walls of this classroom. The students were so excited to see all these books and get started on reading them all.

    These books are being used to help support reading at home because many of my students do not have grade level books at home to practice their reading. The students and parents have been asking for more books at home so they can improve.

    The goal of this project is to foster a love for reading and support family literacy. They are allowed to take one book home each evening and then bring it back and they can check out another one. Thank you so much for your support.”

  • Oregon Battle of the Books for Bilingual Readers

    Funded Oct 3, 2024

    I want to express my deepest gratitude for your generous donation to fund books for my students. Your support is not just a financial contribution, it is an investment in the future of young minds who are equal to learn, but often lack the resources they need to thrive. Many of my students come from families facing financial hardships, and access to books is a luxury they don't always have. Your donation makes a world of difference, providing them with the tools they need to succeed in school and beyond.”

  • Write Erase Repeat

    Funded May 7, 2021

    Thank you for your generosity and helping with this project for my students. Whiteboards, dry erase markers and erasers are some of the most used tools in our classroom. We can use them to practice writing our names, writing words, writing numbers, doing math facts, and so much more! And being that they are used a lot, it is super helpful to have a new set of whiteboards every few years. Every student needs several whiteboard markers throughout the year, and the erasers last about a year as well.

    Thank you so much for helping with this project. It helps the students have what they need for learning.”

  • Carpeta Equipo

    Funded Jun 18, 2021

    Thank you so much for donating towards this project. With your help, we created notebooks to go to and from school and help families have the resources at home to help their students grow as readers and writers and mathematicians.

    We are learning in two languages and with this project we are able to send home resources that are hard to find but can help our students grow to be responsible.

    Thank you so much for partnering with us to help our class of students and their families. We appreciate you thinking of us!”

    Mrs. Tinseth

  • Not Time to Share

    Funded Jan 28, 2021

    I am so thankful for your support with this project. I used the funds to provide supply boxes for each of my Kindergarten and First grade students. These boxes are used to hold their pencils, crayons, journals, math manipulatives, etc. We are not allowed to share supplies at this time, therefore each student has their own supply box.

    Everyday, I pass out their boxes and the students are in charge of their own supplies. They have learned to be responsible to get their own supplies ready. They have learned to be respectful of their supplies and not to break them. They have learned to be reliable to clean up after themselves.

    Thank you for your support!”

  • Watercolor Wonders

    Funded Oct 22, 2020

    During this strange year educating our youngest students via the computer and lessons on Zoom, I wanted to bring some fun and excitement into their learning.

    The students have worked all week on learning to retell The Mitten by Jan Brett. At the end of the week, after their assessment, they were able to learn to paint two matching mittens with their new watercolor paints. It was such a fun experience for them to work with paints as they learn at home. Some students have never had the experience of painting. Thank you for your support!”

  • MORE STEM Kits for MORE STEM Kids

    Funded Sep 4, 2020

    I cannot thank you enough for stepping up when the need arose - just days before school was beginning, we were told we would have Kindergarten AND First Graders in class and we needed MORE supplies for our STEM kits. Thank you for partnering with me to help our students succeed. We got supplies for them like white boards and markers, Space and Plant kits, as well as more supplies for STEM projects. The students love their supplies and have been so thankful to have them as we try to make learning fun and exciting while we are doing on-line learning.”

  • S.T.E.M Learning for Life Space Edition

    Funded Aug 30, 2020

    Time and Space is such a fun study! The students cannot wait for this special unit. They do not even know what they will get to build with this project. I love their excitement and wonderment as they anticipate learning about Space and the Earth and Moon Cycle. In this online learning environment, getting hands-on learning tools at home is very difficult for some students. We were able to deliver each STEM bag to the students' houses and get the supplies to them. They are very excited and thankful for this fun opportunity to learn.”

I am so privileged to be a first grade Dual Language bilingual teacher in Oregon. I get to work with wonderful students and parents. Some of these beautiful students do not have the opportunities that other children have, so I want to provide fun, learning experiences for them to think, process, challenge, and produce their results. These students are all working on learning English and Spanish and to be a productive part of our community.
