You single-handedly have given us so many opportunities that we never would have been able to provide without your help. Unfortunately the basketball hoop that this grant was originally designed for was no longer available by the time funding came through so we had to pivot and instead we took a poll of students across all six grade levels to ask them what they really wanted for equipment that wasn't already available and we were able to order some really fun and unique items like indoor golf! This grant still has been able to help and impact everyone (the gym teacher is especially excited - he said it was like Christmas when boxes started arriving) and to give students different ways of being active and working/having fun together.

All of the teachers were so excited and relieved to see that we were getting aid and that the cost of tissues wasn't going to come out of their own pockets. I don't know if you've ever been around a group of kids before - but they love to share germs and that means that we're perpetually dealing with illness and go through an unbelievable amount of tissues! \r\n\r\nIt may seem like a small thing, but remembering to purchase and the cost of tissues is just one more thing that teachers have on their overfull plates.

We live in a rural and rather poor area and many of my students cannot afford the most basic of supplies. Your donation has made it possible for all of my students to have everything they need to fully participate in class. You've also made it possible for us to do more creative activities and projects through your donation of colored pencils and sharpies. Your continued support of public education is needed now more than ever and I thank you again for stepping up to make a difference in children's lives.

Your support means more than words can fully express, and it is already making a noticeable difference in our learning environment.\r\n\r\nThese tools are not just pieces of technology — they are opportunities. With the addition of these graphing calculators, my students now have greater access to the resources they need to engage deeply with complex mathematical concepts, explore real-world applications, and build confidence in their abilities. The charging station ensures these calculators are always ready for use, allowing us to maximize our instructional time and keep our momentum going strong.\r\n\r\nMany of my students face financial challenges, and having access to high-quality tools like these levels the playing field and empowers them to thrive academically. The excitement on their faces when we unboxed the calculators was truly priceless — it was a reminder of the joy that learning can bring when barriers are removed.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in the power of education and for helping to create a classroom where curiosity, growth, and achievement can flourish.

I've used it to cover fake food for hands-on activities where students play and write small paragraphs aligned with their learning goals, sparking both engagement and creativity.

The students had been asking about them, and once they arrived, the excitement intensified with debates about the various characters. Almost all of them had seen the movie, but none had read the book. They all had read The Hunger Games in sophomore English and watched the movies. They were so eager to start reading!\r\n\r\nWe are a third of the way through the book as I write this. We are reading it together in class so we can discuss each chapter as a group. We are also watching snippets of the movie as we go, comparing how novels are structured versus their movies. We are also comparing the account of the civil war in Panem and its aftermath to actual wars and their aftermaths. And no discussion of anything related to the Hunger Games is complete without talking about gladiator battles in ancient Rome. This book is compelling and thought-provoking as we look at the individual characters and the society as a whole.
