  • Books and Magazines!

    Funded Jan 30, 2022

    Thank you so much! My students can’t wait to use these materials to improve reading and writing skills. My students truly enjoy learning about current events and the challenges facing different communities. My classroom is the future change makers and look forward to the challenge. Thank you again, this has been amazing!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Colburn

  • Class Sets of Novels

    Funded Mar 27, 2021

    These novels have had a huge impact. We have used these books to explore many academic topics. We have done character studies, found themes, wrote alternate endings, and compared/contrast with films.

    Not only have they helped teach valuable academic strategies, but they have helped students enjoy novels and see reading as pleasure and not just homework!

    Students connected with Matilda and her dislike for the big bad Trunchbull and empathized greatly while reading Crenshaw. Thanks for donating! We appreciate it!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Colburn

Beats by Dre has helped create a quiet place wherever I go. My students deserve to have the same access to concentration that I do. Because of the global pandemic, this disparity in lack of space conducive to learning has been made even more apparent. These headphones will be essential to effective distance learning. These headphones are well constructed, comfortable, a charge lasts for multiple days of work (if the battery dies the headphones will still function with an aux cord). These headphones are not only extremely functional, but they are fun and stylish. Students will be excited to wear these headphones and explore their learning. I am certain that these headphones will create a message of investment and will translate into effective and concentrated exploration of content by empowered students. I implore you to give my students this nod of confidence in their inherent abilities. Let them know that we understand the types of support they need. My students have potential that should not be prohibited to grow because of lack of a quiet space to reflect, collaborate, and practice.
