Wish Delivered: Classroom Enrichment Supplies
Teacher Jessica Westfall says "My goal is to create a classroom that supports not only academic growth, but also emotional well-being, creativity, and meaningful relationships among learners. Now in my third year of teaching, I have gained a deeper understanding of what truly engages and benefits my students. Each year, I learn more about how to create an environment that meets their academic needs while also nurturing their emotional and social development. This request reflects what I’ve seen make the biggest impact—resources that inspire joy, curiosity, and connection. I have already put so much money into my classroom and into my learners. I would love to have some help to continue to make my classroom what my learners need."

Wish Delivered: School Books
Teacher Daniel Bishop says "The Library is the heart of the school. It is in the library that all the stories are stored, all the knowledge is kept, and all the imagination is ignited. Thus, the library should not just be a storage closet for books. Over the last 5 school years BLMS has been working hard to make the library a place of learning, enjoyment, comfort, warmth and power. We have updated our computer system, taken out the hard plastic chairs and put in soft reading spaces, placed color and life on the walls, weeded out the out of date books and are now putting up-to-date books in their place. But we still have work to do. With our limited budget, we can only work so fast without help."

Wish Delivered: LEGO Robotics Kit
Teacher Emma McLaughlin says "I am teaching an elective class that uses Lego EV3 kits. Those no longer work because Lego no longer updates their apps so support new operating systems. I need to replace them with the Spike Prime Kits. I would need 7 kits to have enough for all my students in my elective class. If this doesn't happen we can no longer offer this elective to our students. This kits help teach students how to program and trouble shoot programing in real time with their robots completing actions they program."

Wish Delivered: Library books
Teacher Chenin McConnell says "The library is the heart of our school, a place where every student should feel welcome and find something that sparks their curiosity. This wishlist focuses on adding high-interest graphic novels, engaging nonfiction, and multilingual titles to better serve our resistant readers and students who are building literacy in more than one language. By also offering games and comfortable spaces, the library becomes more than a study area—it becomes a hub where students can explore, connect, and develop a love of reading. With your support, we can increase access to resources that meet diverse needs and inspire every student to see themselves as a reader and learner."

Wish Delivered: Classroom Seating
Teacher Rebecca Torrey says "The seats that came with my room are decades old. Most chairs are wobbly or cracked. This is my second year as the music and art teacher and I am also the FIRST art teacher at this school. I teach music the first half of the year and art the second half of the year. The chairs are more needed for art semester as we normally stand for music class. New seats would not only bring a brightness but a more comfortable option that does not wobble or pinch. I have unfortunately had a few kiddos get pinched with these older chairs."

Wish Delivered: Clothes for Kids
Teacher Lisa Gorman-Jimenez says "We are a Title 1 school, and our older students could benefit from the purchase of warm coats and hoodies. Many students arrive at school without appropriate outerwear, especially older children who often fall through the cracks of donation drives focused on younger ages. With your support, we would purchase and distribute coats and hoodies directly through our counselor's office to ensure items reach the students who need them most. This assistance would help keep students warm, comfortable, and ready to learn throughout the colder months. We would also label these clothing items to help ensure they do not get lost as kids transition from different locations."

Wish Delivered: New Curriculum
Teacher Careylyn Nez says "I am a resource teacher for 4th and 5th grade. I have 7 students who are extremely low readers; end of kinder to first grade level. We have tried the curriculum the district has offered. They have not made adequate growth. We found a curriculum that has been used in previous years, but they are not complete sets and not enough copies. This curriculum would make a huge difference in their lives because now they could read a book and understand what they are reading."

Wish Delivered: 3D Printer
Teacher Cody Perry says "Every year, we recognize the need to help our students think creatively and prepare for future careers that may not yet exist. Integrating STEM creativity into our classrooms is crucial for this development. Unfortunately, aside from code.org and our current science curriculum, my students are receiving limited exposure to these essential skills, which I believe is doing them a disservice. Coming from a Title 1 school, I often feel constrained in providing rich learning experiences. However, I believe that teaching students to design and print with a 3D printer could significantly enhance their creative learning opportunities."
