Thank you so much for the wonderful classroom map and the set of calculators. We did not have access to these items, until we were able to purchase them with grant money. The students have benefitted immensely. (I had a picture to send, but apparently it is too big to send.) Thanks again!

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for the grant. I was able to put the amount towards the purchase of 2 SMART airliner wireless slates. My students LOVE using the slates. They think it is so neat to be able to pass them around and interact with what is happening on the projector and computer while at their seats or in some other part of the classroom. We use them both with and without my SMART board. They help to keep my students engaged, and the participation level is never lacking. Multiple students can participate at one time. We LOVE them!

Getting a color printer/scanner in the Library Media Center for the students to use has been great. It gives the students an opportunity to scan photos for use in their projects and to print class projects in color.

About every day, as the teachers at our school use their interactive SmartBoards, our students are benefiting from the funding that you provided for us. The $5000 we received helped purchase 3 SmartBoards for teachers at our school. Our teaching has changed because we now can bring more things into our classroom. We can provide a fun, educational learning experience for students as we work on math, reading, spelling, science, art appreciation, etc. I wrote to thank you last year, but I wanted you to know that every day we appreciate what you did for us, especially the three teachers that you provided the funding for.

Once again I traveled throughout the state teaching teachers as part of the CORE Academy staff. In every city I taught, teachers talked over and over again about the wonderful grant program you provide which allows them the opportunity to purchase things for their classes that they otherwise could never afford. Your foundation is praised throughout the state as the most successful grant program available.
Thank you, thank you!

I was given a mini grant last year. It was my first year teaching in a high school and the school was still very new. I recieved all the necessary materials to suppliment and teach real world application for my US History class. My students have enjoyed working with the primary documents and I have been able to get them out of their textbooks and into the moment of history that we are studying. I would like to thank 100% for kids for making my first year teaching high school an easy transition.
