Dear Adam Ishaeik, Thank you so much for funding my project. It will make a tremendous difference in my PE program. I know the happiness instilled by the outdoor program will carry on as enthusiasm in the classroom. I will inform the children, right away. I know they will be excited. I also look forward to sharing equipment, lessons, and enthusiasm with my partner teachers. Thank you so much. All best wishes, Melanie Du Bose

Dear Adam Ishaeik, Thank you very much for your kindness in helping the students at our school become more active and healthy. Your donation will enable many students to participate in a game they love and interact with other students that they may not normally play with. We look forward to getting the materials and starting to play and exercise. Thank you!

Dear Adam Ishaeik, I can not thank you enough for your donation to the students of CS 300. Our students are in desperate need of the positive benefits of Yoga. We hope that through a Yoga program we can help our students foster a positive self-image and attitude, which in turn, will create better social and academic behaviors. My gratitude is immense. I am confident that your donation will mean that these at-risk children will be given the tools to have a successful and fulfilled life. Thank you for your generosity to our children. Sincerely, Sheila Walsh Physical Education Teacher The School of Science and Applied Learning(CS300).

Dear Adam Ishaeik, Thank you for helping us REACH OUR GOAL!!!! I cannot believe that this is happening on today of all days. We were just having a class meeting and talking about how cool it would be if we had soccer goals so that our class could hold sports clinics for the younger classes. They had no idea that I had applied for this. I am so excited about telling them on Monday. Thank you so much.

Dear Adam Ishaeik, I was so excited to receive the e-mail that my project had been funded! I had to go to the website just to make sure it was true! Thank you so much for reviewing my project and providing the money to fund it. We are starting an after school fitness club in January, so the timing is perfect! The students will be able to try a new and different way to exercise - and it will be interesting to see how they react to the exercises and activities we can do with the exercise balls. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Sincerely, Kris Herron, PE Teacher V.O. ISOM Elementary School Greenwood, IN

Dear Adam Ishaeik, Thank you very much for your gift to my students. It is great to know that people still care. The children will love the checkers. They are always trying to play chess with checkers rules. They will be very grateful as am I. The students I teach do not always have great opportunities in life, but with your donation at least they will have a couple. It will give them the chance to stay off the streets, and that is something I am trying to accomplish. Thank you again and please continue to support schools.

Dear Adam Ishaeik, I am so excited to receive confirmation that my proposal to provide equipment for my grade level for physical fitness has been fully funded. Because of the construction at our school we have had four or five classes sharing a kickball field and it's been hard mixing different age groups during these activities. I am looking forward to being able to introduce new activities to my students next year when the materials arrive. I will also be team teaching with another teacher and we plan to mix our kids during the recess time. This will mean that the equipment will be used by a larger number of students. I really am appreciative of the donor(s) who saw fit to make this kind contribution to our children. It is heartwarming to know that people like you are out there supporting public education and teachers like myself. I think that we all know how important it is to make a difference in the lives of children who do not have the advantages that we might like them to have had. Thank you so very much, Maria Birkas

Dear Adam Ishaeik, Where do I begin, other than THANK YOU!! It warms my heart to know that you were willing to invest in our students and their health. We will now be able to supply them with the basic tools to not only help care for their teeth, but help them to understand why it is so very important. Our theme for the upcoming year is "Igniting the Fire." We want our students and our parents to know that we are there to help ignite the fire in each and every family! You are helping our dreams to burn a little brighter!! So from me again, "Thank You" from the bottom of my heart and know that you have made a difference in the life a child! Sincerely, Mrs. Krista Williams

Dear Adam Ishaeik, Thanks so much for your generous donation of all kinds of balls for my kids to play with and learn team sports with! The kids will have enough to keep them going for the year, in football, soccer, and kickball. You are helping us keep our middle school kids in shape and having fun! Thanks!!!

Dear Adam Ishaeik, Oh my goodness! This is a dream come true. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making all of this possible for my students. They will finally put their skills to work in an authentic bowling situation in the gymnasium because of you! I can't wait to see their faces. Thank You so much for answering our wish you are a true saint! Here's to Project Bowl!! This would not be possible without you! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

Dear Adam Ishaeik, Wow! I am so excited to have this proposal funded. My students will be thrilled to have all these fun activities to play with during our physical education time. It will give me much pleasure to see their faces when I show them this delightful equipment. Words cannot express my sincere gratitude. I am truly amazed at the generosity of the people who have given us support through DonorsChoose.org.

Dear Adam Ishaeik, First of all, I would like to thank you for your generosity and your donation. I have been teaching for 25 years. I have entirely supplied my class with the necessary materials to improve their learning. My goal as a teacher is to make sure the students succeed in all areas of academics, especially in reading. I was screaming with excitement that my project had been funded!!! I will use these tools to enhance other areas of teaching to increase academic scores. Gratefully yours, Janet

Dear Adam Ishaeik, I have the best students in the world. They face constant challenges to their success. But, what makes them so wonderful to work with is that they are constantly excited by life and by learning. They are going to be so excited to receive the tennis rackets you are funding. Many of my students are overweight, but since the neighborhood surrounding our school has one of the highest crime rates in the county, the children cannot play in the park or anywhere else around outside around their homes. Our school is one of the only safe places where children get to exercise outside. Many of the children stay late at school, 5-6:00pm. The tennis rackets you have provided for us will be used by over 100 students, both during the school day and after school in a Sport's Club. Your donation will touch many, many students. And, hopefully, your donation will help instill in several of these students a love for tennis. Tennis is a sport they will be able to continue playing because it is fun, accessible, and affordable. By funding these rackets you have enriched and enhanced the education and the lives of many students. There is no way I can thank you enough for your generosity. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Dear Adam Ishaeik, Thank you so much for the ability to enhance the lives of my students! We are all very excited and ready to learn the great skill of basketball. We are hoping to have a tournament at the end of the year and have ribbons and metals to everyone who participates. Your donation has made it possible to teach this unit. We are even planning a field trip to see the "Oklahoma Thunder". Please continue to support schools as they hold our future, our children. Thank you from the top of our hearts!
