Project: Help purchase soccer equipment to start a soccer league for students.

"Our school did not have soccer goals, so whenever our head coach brought the portable goals out the players were so surprised and excited. When they found out we were able to purchase two, they just started cheering and clapping. A couple of the players made the comment that they were actually going to get to have a full game at practice because of having the two goals. I asked what they meant by that, and they explained that we would only be able to purchase one goal. It was as if they didn't think anyone would care enough for them to be able to have two goals for practice."

Project: Help purchase supplies for a classroom pet guinea pig named Zoe.

"My students were overjoyed when they first learned of Zoe and was even more excited when they finally got to meet her.

With your generous donations, I have taught my scholars to be even more caring then they already are and more understanding of the needs of animals and themselves."

Project: Help prepare a classroom for a new dance class.

"The classroom environment change in a positive way. The disco lights, the mic with the speaker and the posters help a lot.When my students first saw it couldn't believe it. We use the disco lights as an incentive for their hard work. If they participate throughout the lesson they earn 5 minutes of free time with music and the disco lights."

Project: Help purchase soccer cleats for students to ease their financial burden.

"We really appreciate it! The students really appreciate it and are genuine in their gratitude. They are really enjoying receiving cleats as some were embarrassed because theirs were worn and had holes. ... Your donation also shows students the importance of giving and that people do care about their well-being."

Project: Help give students a safe & supportive environment to care for their mental health.

"The fidget toys have been used daily by students in my office. They help students feel more comfortable when talking about their challenges and ultimately facilitate their ability to express themselves. The different textures and ways to manipulate the fidget items give options for individuals who need various sensory inputs. The students are extremely grateful for a place in the school where they feel safe and supported."

Project: Help give students supplies to learn printmaking.

"My students absolutely loved this project! They put in so much effort within this project. They loved learning about the fundamental elements of printmaking. Which is very important for students to learn about. It's important for students to learn about all media of art."

Project: Give students supplies to express themselves through art.

"I want to thank you once again for your kindness that you have shown to my students by providing art supplies and materials for my students. My students are highly creative and imaginative thinkers. They enjoy putting their creating ideas on paper by making artwork. Having the students be able to create art during various rest breaks during the day gives them a release and/or break from the everyday rigor of academia."
