  • Terrible Twits!

    Funded May 6, 2025

    Having a class set of The Twits allows every student to read and enjoy the story together, building a shared learning experience that sparks laughter and imagination. With their own copy, students can follow along, practice fluency, and build comprehension skills without barriers. This engaging text encourages reluctant readers to participate and helps foster a love of reading. Thanks to these books, our classroom can dive into meaningful discussions and develop stronger literacy skills as a team.”

  • Tech Tools

    Funded Jun 7, 2025

    With these amazing resources, my students can dive into creative, hands-on learning experiences. The bulk headphones allow every student to fully engage with digital lessons without distractions, supporting focus and individualized learning. The 3D pen filaments and silicone mats give students opportunities to explore design, engineering, and art in exciting new ways. Together, these tools foster innovation, creativity, and problem-solving while making our classroom a more engaging place to learn and grow.”

  • Supply Station

    Funded Jun 10, 2025

    These new supplies will bring creativity and organization to our classroom! With crayons, colored pencils, and sticker paper, my students can add vibrant detail to projects, encouraging self-expression and pride in their work. The hot glue gun allows us to build hands-on crafts that last, while pencil pouches help keep tools in place. The rolling storage cart ensures materials are accessible and neat, saving learning time. Together, these items make our classroom brighter, more efficient, and inspiring.”

  • Bases Are Loaded

    Funded Mar 25, 2025

    Thanks to the generous support from our DonorsChoose project, we received new kickballs and rubber bases that were immediately put to great use during recess. The students were so excited to have new equipment, and it made their games more organized, fun, and inclusive. Having a reliable set of bases allowed them to set up quickly and play safely, encouraging more kids to join in and stay active. It truly helped make our outdoor time more enjoyable and structured.

    One of the biggest highlights was using the new gear for our annual 5th grade vs. staff kickball game! This event is always one of the most anticipated traditions at our school, and the new equipment made it even better. The fresh kickballs had the perfect bounce, and the durable bases made the field feel official. Students and staff alike had a blast, and it created memories that will last far beyond the school year. Thank you for helping us bring fun, teamwork, and tradition to life!”

  • Drone Zone

    Funded Mar 14, 2025

    Thank you so much for funding our project! The mini-drones have brought so much excitement and hands-on learning to our classroom. My Girls Who Code club and science students have loved exploring STEM concepts like coding, engineering, and problem-solving in a fun, creative way. The girls in the afterschool club loved being able to try them out and learn how to maneuver them. We used the obstacle course items to work on controlling the drones and they did a fantastic job. I cannot wait to use them again next year. Your support truly made a difference!”
