Wish Delivered: Mannequins and AED trainers

Teacher Joshua Smith says "If I have 6 adult mannequins, 4 infant mannequins and AED trainers, I can start certifying students in CPR through the American Heart Association while they're in my class, "Outdoor Survival." I currently certify students in "Stop the Bleed." Students do really well with the hands on instruction and direct applicability. We have an AED in our school, but most students have no idea where it is or how to use it. I've also found that learning first aid opens students' minds to first responder careers."

Wish Delivered: Seating and name tags

Teacher Amy Hill says "I am writing to request funding for alternative seating options for the students in my second grade classroom. As an educator, I understand the importance of creating a conducive learning environment that meets the diverse needs of all our students. I believe that providing alternative seating options will have a positive impact on my students' focus, engagement, and overall well-being. I am also asking for some name tags for my students’ desks. These particular name tags have a lot of information that my students use daily. There is a number line, hundreds chart, cursive alphabet, place value, and shapes. My students use their name tags daily in math. I am committed to providing the best possible learning environment for our students, and I believe that alternative seating options will play a crucial role in achieving this goal."

Wish Delivered: Computer, camera equipment, and lighting equipment

Teacher Tyler Jessup says "I'm striving to get a photography and drama program going. We've pieced together old, used cameras and a mishmash of sound equipment, but we need more to pull off productions for our audiences to be able to see and hear. Our stage doubles as our gym. The lighting is bad and we need the spots to help illuminate our plays. The camera equipment will help us create images of our production and help students gain a photographer's eye. The computer is needed to edit and process images and videos from both the photography students and drama productions. We are a rural school and our students do not have much in the way of opportunity."

Wish Delivered: CD Players, Audio Books, and Chairs

Teacher Tiffany Wight says "I have several students that struggle reading in my classroom. They are also easily overstimulated. The cd players, audio books and stadium chairs will allow them to have flexible seating in the classroom and have down-time while they work on their listening comprehension skills, and also listen to a variety of stories. We also have these physical books in the classroom or school library, so they can follow along while it's read aloud. They enjoy listening to audiobooks, but I have 18 students and only $250 per year for my class that is supposed to cover art supplies, snacks, and classroom activities."
