Literacy Centers
Because of your generosity my class will be able to learn independently during small group reading time, and have fun doing it.
The literacy center project that you all help fund came at such a crucial time. With school budget cuts becoming more increasing, the extra little things we want for our students to enhance their educations are only wishes.
But you made my wish for my class come true!
I know that my students, and my many more students to come will benefit from your thoughtfulness. So again THANK YOU!
With gratitude,
Ms. R.
Bringing Real World Events into the Classroom
The best part of the Time for Kids is that the students have reading material to take home and enjoy over and over. Students always love having something new and different to read and learn about.
Thank you again for partnering with my class to make learning an adventure!

Dear Gary Cucchi,
Other then helping papers go home I hope to achieve increasing the students responsibility with their work. The students will be asked to turn in their homework and to place any out going work in their mailbox. This will cut down on the “lost” papers in the desk. Boys also need to get up and move many times a day. By allowing the students time to place their work in their mailbox after each activity will ensure movement!
Thank you again I can’t wait to see my vision action.
With gratitude,
Mrs. W.
Your kindness of donations have not only given this class of students a love for problem solving, but they will be able to be used for future classes.
Thank you again for making math count in our classroom!

Dear Gary Cucchi,
The literacy games will not only give a more hand-on approach to learning essential skills, but also show students how fun reading and reading comprehension is. I look forward to using these games for many years to come! Thank you.

Dear Gary Cucchi,
Thank you so much for the support and donating to my project! My students will be beyond thrilled when they find out they can begin video projects after FCAT! Thank you to all those coffee drinkers and texters who donating their gift cards, it truly is an honor that you chose my project to support. Ellen and Paige, thank you also for your cash donation– you giving out of your own pocket means alot. I especially want to thank Horace Mann for their generous donation to finish the funding for my project. Thanks again!

New Ways to Teach Old Texts!
Dear Gary Cucchi,
WOW! Thank you all for the support! I cannot believe how quickly this project was funded! Thank you so much to Nellie and the anonymous donor who donated their Starbucks gift cards. Also a big thanks to Gary Cucchi and Horrace Mann for once again providing that final donation to complete my project. This project never would have been funded so quickly if it weren’t for the generosity of Townsend Press who matched all of your donations. I am so excited to see the learning gains made with the use of these supplemental texts!
With gratitude,

Tag-You’re It-Your Turn to Read!
Dear Gary Cucchi,
Thank you so much for your donations. My students are so excited about this project and will be over the moon tomorrow when I tell them that the projected is fully funded. They can’t wait to use the Leapfrog Tag Reading System. I am sure this will help them to become better readers as well as enjoy using the Tags!
Thank you for helping to put my students on the path to love to read for a lifetime!
We so appreciate your kind giving to my students! It is wonderful to know that there are so many people who value reading and are willing to help children they do not even know in some cases.
With gratitude,

Thumbs Up! Thumb Drives Help us Access our Work
Dear Gary Cucchi,
Technology integration is not only a requirement of Florida educators in the twenty-first century but is also necessary to meet the learning needs of all students. As a teacher who strives to give her students any materials and experiences that they need to be successful, I cannot express how excited I am to be able to support my students’ desire to learn through technology integration. Your generous donations have made this goal a reality. Through supporters like you, I will be able to not only enhance instruction to meet the diverse learning needs of all of my students, but to provide them with the opportunity to practice the skills needed to become effective members of a technology-driven society. Your impact on my 42 students will last a lifetime! “Thank you Mr. Cucchi for your generous donation! We are ready to work and can do so with our new thumb drives! :)”
Thank you again!
With gratitude,
Mrs. M.
WMS 3rd Annual Animal Shelter Night
Dear Gary Cucchi,
The Animal Shelter Night project is going to be a huge success thanks to all who graciously donated to this project. The materials you are supplying will be instrumental in helping my students to perfect flyers and presentation display boards of the shelters they have researched. I am happy that so many people care so much for animals’ rights. We hope that our guests will become animal advocates to give animals a voice.
With gratitude,
