Making a Difference in a Child’s Life
At Neospektiv, we are supporters of DonorsChoose.org. This is a wonder organization that is truly making a difference in classrooms around the country. We encourage you to visit the site and make a donation if you feel lead to do so. Remember, the children of today are the leaders of tomorrow.
For your inspiration, here is some feedback I have gotten from a few teachers:
Dear Mr. Graham,
Thank you so much for donating all of these wonderful resources to our classroom! I’m so excited that there are people willing and wanting to help teachers. It means so much to me and my students to have such great people to support education! These fluency activities are going to offer great support in our small group guided reading time, but also for additional practice independently. Thanks again for caring about my students, their education and their future!!
With gratitude,
Mrs. G
Dear Mr. Graham,
Thank you so much for funding my project! I love that fact that people like you are reinvesting in their communities and helping out the schools in their area. Its one of those things that when students realize that they have support from all sorts of people are them that they are more invested in the community themselves.
I am really excited to get these materials before school ended so now my students can enjoy using them during our physics unit. You have perfect timing! Thanks again!!
With gratitude,
Ms. B
Dear Mr. Graham,
Now that the school year has started, it becomes even more apparent on how much your gift has impacted my students’ learning. Last year, I was able to use your gift as an enrichment activity since it was fairly late in the year. However, this year I was able to use it a center piece for the introduction of Newton’s Laws and let students use to create hypotheses about the actions of the tube.
I really thank you for providing the funds to help with this and how such a gift affects my classroom year after year. I really means a lot to me that folks out there like you are willing to make this type of donation.
With gratitude,
Ms. Boettcher

CPR Training Coming Soon!!
Neospektiv is proud to announce the founding of The CPR Alliance – giving people second chances through CPR, AED and First Aid education. At Neospektiv we are totally focused on giving back to the community that supports us. We feel this is just one more tool that we can use to help make our society a better place to live.
You never know when an emergency is going to occur and we feel it is always better to be prepared! We strongly encourage you to get certified in CPR if you are not currently. Regardless of your age or profession, you could be the person to help save someones life in an emergency.
We look forward to seeing you in our upcoming CPR classes!

Supporting DonorsChoose.org
One of my favorite organizations to support is www.DonorsChoose.org
For those of you that are always on the lookout for great organizations I would like to suggest you consider www.DonorsChoose.org
It is a great organization that allows your donations to directly impact the lives of children. If you currently looking for a way you can support your local community, I highly recommend you look at DonorsChoose.org. Here is another letter I just received showing the impact your donation can make in the classroom:
Mr. Graham
I would like to express to you how grateful we are for your contributions to our flag football project. My students were, and are still, so excited about getting the new equipment. You have helped my students develop skills in kicking, throwing, catching, strategizing, and teamwork. The equipment has benefited all grade levels, from Kindergarten through 6th grade. We have played flag football with the equipment, and we have also played lead-up games, flag tag, and sharks and minnows. The cones have been very helpful on an almost daily basis with establishing boundaries for the students in their games.
Our school, as with many schools these days, has limited resources, and we have a very limited budget for Physical Education equipment. Without your donation our project would not have been possible and would have had to remain in the dreams of my students. You have helped to make their dreams a reality, and we are so very thankful. Know that you have made a difference to so many.
With gratitude,
Mrs. B.
The ancient Egyptians had a beautiful belief about death and that when their souls got to the entrance to heaven, the guards asked two questions inevitably determining whether they were able to enter or not by their answer. Those two question were: ‘Have you found joy in your life?’ and ‘Has your life brought joy to others?’”
Get Motivated!
This video is incredible. If you are bogged down by a project, or feel yourself slipping, take a break and go get a little exercise by going to the gym or even taking a walk around the office. Even though it seems counterintuitive, I promise you nothing recharges your batteries and gives you the energy you need to get through a stressful work day like exercise!
