Without your support many of the items that we were able to get, would not be in our classroom. While we had to change our original plan we were still able to get items that put a smile on my students faces. \r\n One of the favorite items that came were birthday chair covers and they came just in time. I just happened to have my first classroom birthday and he was so excited to get to have something special on his chair. Also I was able to get a saucer folding chair and the kids have absolutely loved it. They can earn pompoms to sit in it and it has worked great.

I work in a low economic school district and students don't always have opportunities to get their hands on current books. \r\n Giving students access to new books keeps them hungry for more reading! I can't describe to you my students excitement when our new books arrived in our classroom. I had given them the opportunity to help pick the books we requested so they had huge by-in and couldn't wait to get them in their hands!\r\n The impact on my students interest in reading was a huge pay-off. They couldn't wait to read everyday and their grades improved not only in comprehension and understanding what they read more deeply but in other academic areas as well.
