I think a lot of students go without food all day. Its nice to be able to feed them a little something ot give them some energy.Thank you for your donation. Its people like you that make supporting students possible. I am grateful. Working as a teacher is challenging in many ways. I am grateful to be able to write grants because without them, I could not create the environment that students need to thrive.

The students have enjoyed making clay sculptures this year and we entered the rodeo art contest. We had five finalists! The tools we used were extremely important and thanks to your donation we were able to truly have a successful year making our artwork. \r\nIt's very difficult to get what you need. As you may know education is underfunded and teachers don't get paid a lot of money. That's why I write grants all the time. I'm trying to do what I can with the resources I have and fill the gaps we have in regards to supplies for our kids. I care deeply for my students. My students are always surprised when I tell them I got a grant for things. They can't believe that people care enough to buy things for our class. I tell them, people care and you guys are our future leaders! They are truly grateful and they use the items with respect.
