School: New Plymouth Elementary

Wish Delivered: Classroom Snack Supplies

Teacher Felicity Steers says "Today I am asking for a refrigerator, microwave, keyboard, and mouse. The refrigerator and microwave will be used by all students and me, while the keyboard and mouse will be used just by me. I live in a small rural community where, unfortunately, not all students are able to come to school with what they need to be healthy and successful. Frequently, I have students complaining of headaches, hunger, or thirst and yet don't come to school with appropriate food or water bottles. I would love to get a few items to help promote healthy lifestyle choices in my classroom."

Wish Delivered: Classroom chairs and supplies

Teacher Amber Faille says "This year we are busting at the seams with 34 students in our 4th grade classrooms, and I have more students in my little classroom than desks and chairs that fit their body sizes! One thing we desperately need are chairs that fit 4th grade students. Our school is over 50 years old and was built without adequate storage so storage items would be really helpful! . Our classroom really needs things to engage students in rigorous learning. Books, clipboards, markers, pencils, folders, recognition items, etc. are all things that make a classroom more inviting and engaging for students."

School: Canyon Springs Alternative High School

Wish Delivered: Classroom radios and security supplies

Teacher Jamie Jamtaas says "Canyon Springs Alternative School offers a different educational environment for its students than a traditional high school. We cater to the needs of our students who benefit from the non-traditional approach to learning. Our school focuses on addressing specific needs, preferences, and/or challenges that the traditional high school does not fully accommodate. We do all of this while maintaining the safety of our staff and students and with very little budgeted to us annually"

School: New Plymouth Middle School

Wish Delivered: Feminine products

School counselor David Gustin says "Last year at the end of year we implemented "Days for Girls" a program that specifically focuses on helping schools get feminine products in the school bathrooms. Research has shown that if feminine products are available at schools, girls' school attendance increases. I was given a generous donation last year when we implemented the program to help our school with supplying the girls with pads but I haven't found a consistent resource yet to be able to fund us for period products."
