My Project

Dear Donors,

I hope this letter finds you well.

I am a reading teacher that works with small reading groups, focusing on enhancing students’ literacy skills through engaging and interactive lessons.

One of the key tools I use during our lessons are anchor charts, which serve as visual aids to reinforce learning concepts. To ensure these charts are durable and can be used repeatedly, I laminate them. Unfortunately, our school’s budget constraints mean that teachers without homerooms, like myself, do not receive the same level of supplies as those with homerooms.

To continue providing high-quality, durable learning materials for my students, I am seeking donations to acquire a desk-size laminator, laminating pouches, and printer ink. These resources will significantly enhance the learning experience for my students by allowing me to create long-lasting educational materials.

Your generous support will make a tremendous difference in our classroom. With these supplies, I can ensure that my students have access to the best possible resources to aid their learning journey. Any contribution, no matter how small, will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for considering my request. Your support will help foster a love of reading and learning in my students, setting them on a path to success.
