School: Hayden Canyon Charter

Wish Delivered: Choral Risers

Teacher Lori Marvin says "We celebrate the Arts and Sciences here at Hayden Canyon Charter. We are a Project-Based Learning School where we treasure student discovery and learning by doing. Our music program includes everyone. Every student here gets an opportunity to experience the joy of making music and performing music. Currently, our stage has no choral risers, placing up to 100 students all on the same level during performances. In order for our students to see their audience and for the audience to see them, risers are sorely needed. We humbly ask to be considered. This would mean so much to our entire campus, students and audiences alike. This would greatly improve our program and offer better quality performances to our Music department. This is our goal, to become better each year. Thank you for helping make this happen."

Wish Delivered: STEM supplies

Teacher Theresa Du Chemin says "
Many of our students already show interest in various career fields of engineering, so having these listed tools for students to expand their learning and further develop their passion areas will be greatly beneficial. These materials will be helpful to students we serve this year, and for years to come as the items we have listed are reliable and connect across many subject areas to fit students’ interest areas in some way allowing them to maximize their full potential and to thrive, flourish, and create."

Wish Delivered: Monitors, keyboards, mice, and keyboard covers

Teacher Kelli Paulsen says "In the rapidly evolving landscape of education, technology plays a pivotal role in shaping the way students learn and engage with academic content. One indispensable aspect of this technological integration is the incorporation of monitors, keyboards, keyboard covers, and mice in the classroom. These seemingly mundane peripherals hold the key to unlocking a plethora of benefits, transforming the educational experience for students and educators alike. Our students are working with old monitors, keyboards, and mice that are failing. We need to upgrade our systems so that our students are learning the capabilities of technology in their generation. This would directly affect all 503 of our current middle school students and enhance learning and productivity in our computer room."

School: New Plymouth Elementary School

Wish Delivered: Cubbies

Teacher Ashley Tappana says "We do not have any type of organizational cubby system in our classroom to keep backpacks and coats in a confined area and off the floor. We know that students thrive off of routine, predictability, and organization. Right now, we try and keep all items in an open recessed closet space, but there is simply not enough hooks and space for all of the lunches, coats, and backpacks. This results in coats and backpacks ending up on the floor in a pile due to us rotating 72 fifth graders throughout the day. By rearranging the classroom and adding these cubbies, it will prevent items from being lost and promote a cohesive and organized classroom. By providing these cubbies, our fifth graders will have the calm and organized space they deserve!"
