Wish Delivered: Classroom supplies

Teacher Chris Dixon says "These Items will help with STEM in my classroom and with my Lego League Students during all of the Year and at competition times each April. We are in a school that is over capacity and storage is limited so the Storage bins and shelves will help us out so much! The extra art items and glue gun will help so much for the posters that our Lego league students have to make to show their journey throughout the year and the hard work we put in. They will also help my classroom students with projects and posters that we make throughout the school year. It will also help teach the fundamentals of coding as a youth! This really brings a lot of confidence and happiness to children who are not able to do it themselves."

Wish Delivered: Classroom Furniture

Teacher Ellie Rivard says "As a first-year teacher, I’m working on building my classroom from the ground up. I want it to be a safe, welcoming space where students can learn, grow, and feel excited to come to school every day. Many of these items, like the rug, circle pillows, and round pouf, will help me create a cozy reading area where students can relax and enjoy books. The reading phone will let them hear themselves read, which helps build confidence and fluency. Things like the 5-drawer chest, plastic drawer containers, storage bins, wood crates, cubbies, and magazine holders will help keep the classroom organized. These will also give students a place to keep their things, helping them take responsibility for their materials. Items like clipboards, carpet dots, and stickers will help with classroom routines and management. The stickers and LifeSavers will be used as fun rewards to motivate and celebrate students' efforts and good behavior.The magnetic tiles will be used for hands-on play and learning, helping students build creativity and work together. Each of these items will help me create a space that’s fun, organized, and built for student success."

Wish Delivered: 3D Printer

Teacher Tiffanie McNeel says "As a third-grade teacher, I am constantly seeking ways to make learning more engaging and meaningful for my students. A 3D printer would bring hands-on, interactive learning to life across multiple subjects. For example, students could design and print animal models during our science units, or create geometric shapes in math to explore fractions and measurement in a tangible, memorable way. This type of creative learning fosters critical thinking and helps students better connect abstract concepts to the real world."
