Because of you, 60 students got access to high-quality, valuable texts.

Because they had these books, students were able to work together to find evidence of perseverance. All fourth graders also got to the The Whispering Town, a story about heroism in 1940s Denmark. They used this book to build empathy AND explore author's craft in using first person point of view.\r\nThank you so much for allowing these learning experiences for our students.

I can not thank you enough for the incredible gift of the writing journals and pencils. We have used these materials every day since they arrived. Each student has already written about their favorite food, person, toy, animal, and place. This week we have started writing our first fiction pieces in our journals! I am blown away by their excitement and their stories each day. \r\nWithout these materials, students would have used regular paper and would not have the collection of stories to look at over and over again. This is such a gift because students and grownups will also get to cherish the memories of these first graders' writings for years. \r\nThe pencils make such a difference to our class as well. Having these makes it so that students can freely exchange their pencils when needed, instead of having to take time out of their writing time to sharpen them. This also frees up the teachers to keep helping/teaching, instead of spending time sharpening. \r\nThank you from the bottom of my heart for this incredible gift.

I am still so grateful for your generosity that has allowed me to reach my students in many different ways already this year.

This has helped our classroom community more than you know. \r\nOur science interactive notebooks are underway and collecting new information each day. The students love the little clips and other organizational tools I purchased to keep us all organized and on the same page- literally! \r\nMy science lab coat has already been worn through many hands on activities and labs, which the students found very funny!

Your generosity is making a real difference for our students and our school clinic. 💕\r\n\r\nThese new resources are already helping us better support our students throughout the school day. As a school nurse, I see students with a wide range of health needs, and having the supplies we requested available in our clinic means I can respond more quickly and help students get back to learning, playing, and being with their classmates.\r\n\r\nMy students were so excited to see the new supplies arrive! To them, these may seem like simple clinic materials, but for a student who needs something from the nurse, having the right supplies available can make a stressful moment feel much easier and more comfortable.\r\n\r\nWhen the package arrived, the kids helped me unbox the spacers. They wrote their names on each one and packed them into their own Asthma bags, which they decorated with stickers! It was such a sweet way for them to take ownership of something that will help them feel prepared and supported at school.\r\n\r\nOur next step is continuing to build a well-stocked, welcoming school clinic where students know they can come when they need help. Every item we receive allows me to spend less time worrying about whether we have what we need and more time caring for the children in front of me.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and helping make our school a healthier place to learn.
