Let's Help Our Local Schools!

  • $10raised
  • 1projects funded
We all know how California's schools don't receive enough funding. I recently discovered DonorsChoose.org. Teachers can submit proposals for supplies for their classes, and you can donate to help them get those supplies! You can choose who to donate to and how much to give. Even if only donate $1.00 it helps! It adds up. Spread the word. Let's help out our schools!
  • Let's All Map U.S. Expansion!!!!!

    Funded Oct 17, 2008

    Thank you so much for funding our project! These materials are very important to me and my classroom. I feel very strongly about providing students with a strong background in geography. You have directly impacted the education of 75 amazing young adults. My students are very excited to use the maps and had been watching the website consistently to track the project's funding.

    On behalf of myself, my students, my school and my district, thank you for your support”

  • Brushes for Painting Students

    Funded Sep 23, 2008

    Thank you so much for funding supplies for my students. The brushes we have at the moment are horrible. It is already hard for the students to paint, so to paint with brushes that are damaged is nearly impossible. The new brushes will help us so much to make some great art! I am looking forward to a year full of amazing paintings now”

  • Highly Effective Habits Empower 6th Graders

    Funded Sep 10, 2008

    Thank you so much for your generous donation! We are so excited to receive these resources and it is truly perfect timing! My students are so excited to get started with the Highly Effective Habits resources! I truly believe that by working with them at the beginning of middle school to develop these habits, they will be infinitely more successful throughout the course of middle school, high school and beyond - and I hope that having these skills will give them the confidence to know that they can truly achieve anything with hard work and dedication. I am so excited to see how this program impacts these students, because I know that they will benefit in a powerful way from such fantastic resources. Thank you again so much for your generosity - this opportunity is going to make a huge difference in the lives of my students”

  • Jumping for Joy: Jumpropes for a Healthy Heart!

    Funded Sep 5, 2008

    Thank you so much! I am so excited to have jumpropes for my students, and also for students and teachers in other classrooms to borrow. Our school has participated in Jumprope for Heart for several years, and I have never had jumpropes for my class. I have been borrowing ropes, and even begging the students to bring in their own for that occasion. Now, thanks to you, we will have our own ropes for individual jumping and for group jumping. I really appreciate this gift...it will bring smiles to the faces of many students, for many years to come. I plan to use the jumpropes for fun and play, but also to teach the importance of regular exercise to promote a healthy lifestyle, something we all need to remember in these busy times! Again, I really appreciate this kind gesture, and am so excited to tell the students!

    Sincerely,

    Mrs. S and clas”

  • Round Out Our Reading With Weekly Readers

    Funded Sep 4, 2008

    Thank you so much for helping to purchase Weekly Readers for my students. I know they will love reading the articles. I look forward to their excitement each week when they are presented with their very own copy of a magazine they can take home. I know this excitement will motivate them to spend more time reading and the variety of topics will open their eyes to things they have not been fortunate enough to see. Your generosity is greatly appreciated by me and I know it will be by my students as well. Thank you”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Moore
