  • Flexibility and Sensory!

    Funded Mar 25, 2025

    Thank you so much for this tremendous gift. You have given my students the opportunity and ability to make decisions on seating and tools that will increase their focus and attention. They love all the new flexible seating and fidget options that we now have in our classroom. A few of their favorites are the wobble stools for the carpet, the sensory pillow, and the wobble feet. The students who are currently using the wobble feet love that they can wiggle or bounce when they need to without disturbing their peers. We have been working hard on learning different strategies we can use to support our needs while not being disruptive to others in our classroom.”

  • Clean and Neat

    Funded May 14, 2024

    Thank you so much for all of your donations. You have enabled my students to have a clean, neat and organized learning space. They are easily able to see all of our materials, centers, and books. Your generosity helped to enable my students to be more independent and self guiding. Students have easily been exploring the library and getting materials that they need throughout the day. We are loving how everything matches and aids in our cozy, calm, classroom environment.

    Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for helping our classroom to be neat and organized!”

  • Ahh… Ahh… Ahchoo!

    Funded Oct 30, 2023

    A million thank you are not enough for what you have brought to my classroom. You have provided support and comfort to our students when they are in need. Many of my students often have allergies or colds and this unbelievable supply of tissues and paper towels has helped ensured a little comfort. They no longer fear not having a tissue or a paper towel when an oops occurs. Students have grown in that they know how to handle a spill or where to get a fresh box of tissue when the need arises.

    This supply will carry us into the next school! We have also been able to help supply the same same comfort to another second grade class! Your gift has helped 50 2nd grade students in total!”

  • Books… Books… Books!

    Funded Sep 11, 2023

    Thank you so much for providing my students with high interest decodable readers and reading strategy books! We are still waiting for some books to arrive but love what we have received already.

    They have been so excited to pick these new books out from the library. Struggling readers are more excited to read and share what they have read. Students are noticing words in their readers from our phonics and grammar program as well.

    Students in our reading strategy groups love working with our new books.”

  • The Perfect Table

    Funded Aug 2, 2023

    The perfect table has brought a big boost to my classroom. My students now have a space were they feel more comfortable learning all the things. I am already seeing their confidence grow!

    We have been enjoying small group learning for reading, writing, and math; taking a break at my table; working next to me; and of course taking some assessments. This table has been the perfect spot for our morning reading program to meet.

    I can not thank you enough for supporting my students and myself this year!”

  • Technology for English Language Learners

    Funded Mar 9, 2016

    Thank you so much for helping bring technology to my learners. With the use of this technology they have been able to build their language skills immensely. With the iPad they have been able to play language games, translate materials for learning and communication. They have also grown as readers and writers. Many of these language learners have gone on to pass the NYS ESL exam and no longer need services.

    The iPad had also helped me to track data for them and watch their progress sore. They confidence that they have shown because of you generosity is simply amazing.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Hernandez

My school is located in the South Bronx. The community as a whole consists of underprivileged children surrounded by poverty. Simply amazing, is the best way to describe my students. My students have a varying range of language development. No matter what phase or how much language they have, they are consistently trying their best to learn and gain as much as they possibly can. No matter what struggle they are facing at home, they always come to me willing to try and more importantly wanting to learn as much as they can.
