Wish Delivered: Classroom seating

Teacher Tanya Goodman says "As our schools continue to emphasize the importance of student-centered learning in every classroom it is becoming apparent that traditional seating methods may not be the best fit for all students. Flexible seating in classrooms gives students a choice in what kind of environment they learn best in. When students are given choice in their learning, and their environment, they are more comfortable, invested, engaged, and excited to continue their learning journeys."

Wish Delivered: Classroom Mailboxes

Teacher Junsong Su says "I teach two immersion Chinese classes in South Fork Elementary, each with approximately 25 students. The current cardboard mailboxes used for handing out graded work and school flyers are not very strong and have been used for long time, and now are breaking down and collapsing, this is causing significant inconvenience. We seek funding to replace these with two durable, long-lasting mailboxes. The budget for this project includes the cost of two durable mailboxes. New, durable mailboxes will greatly benefit our immersion Chinese classes by improving organization, student experience, and efficiency. We kindly request your support in funding this essential project."

Wish Delivered: New Books

Teacher Jennifer Olugin says "I am seeking funding for chapter books and sets that cater to both girls and boys. These resources are vital for promoting vocabulary development, improving comprehension skills, and nurturing a lifelong passion for reading among my 2nd graders. These resources will include a diverse mix of fiction and biographies, providing students with engaging narratives and inspiring real-life stories. By sharing these materials with my 2nd grade team, I aim to create a rich literary environment that encourages all students to explore new ideas and perspectives, ultimately supporting their academic development and passion for literature.
