"I teach fourth grade in a high poverty urban area. I am so proud that the school reached AYP last year and am inspired and determined the children WILL succeed in spite of the many challenges that they face in their personal lives.

We don't have the amenities that many districts have such as white boards. In fact, we only have some working chalkboards that are original to a nearly century old building.

It would be so helpful to have a working overhead projector to help visual learners and all students in the class to be more involved in their lessons.

You will help us use important transparencies and allow children to see their own creative input into lessons.

Everyday I go to school and stress the importance of education to the students. How wonderful it would be for them to realize that others believe in their abilities as much as their teacher!

My students need an overhead projector in the classroom. The cost of this proposal is $415, which includes shipping for any materials requested and fulfillment ?."

Dear Karen, Alex, Julie and Anonymous Donors, 
Thank you so much for your generosity and support! The overhead projector will be used daily in instruction. It will benefit the children by allowing their classes to be more interactive and sensory enhanced. What a wonderful message you are sending to the students in sharing your goodness with them! Thank you again for enhancing the education of the students in my class.

Gratefully,
Geraldine S
