I want to thank you for the mini grant of $100 for Alpha Teacher Tools store. As a second year teacher, I have limited resources. With the money from the grant, I was able to buy resources that are going to help me and my students greatly.

First, thank you for supporting my classroom! For being a first year teacher it has been difficult to get the supplies I need. By your generous donation I was able to get a much needed easel for my students and I to use for writing. I could not be more thankful for the opportunity and donation

"The success of our students can be measured by the relationships they build while they are in school. The teachers who influence them, the friendships they make - these all have a fundamental impact on the contributions they will make in our world as adults. Support for those teachers and students often comes from the efforts of the Las Cruces Public Schools Foundation. Their investment in our classrooms is something that will benefit our communities for generations to come."

I am so thankful to receive this grant. The microscopes have been great! My students love to pull them out and look at everything -- leaves and bugs and even fingernails! They love being able to see what they can’t normally see.

This is wonderful news! The grant funds will go along way in supporting our student experiential learning initiatives.

Thank you for your efforts in making these scholarships available to high school graduates. Being recognized with the scholarship based on my academic achievements extracurricular activities and educations goals was truly a gift and a highlight of my senior year.

I would like to that you for your generosity and support. I received the Dr. Jim and Mary Tucker Memorial Scholarship, because of this my goals are within reach.
