Study Corner
Funded Sep 6, 2023I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your incredible generosity in supporting my classroom project. Thanks to your donation, I am able to create a space that truly reflects the warmth, comfort, and welcoming atmosphere that my students deserve. Your support is not only helping transform my classroom, but it is also making a significant impact on the educational experiences of students who face numerous challenges in their daily lives.
Many of my students come from extremely difficult circumstances. Most of them live in urban areas that are underfunded, and for some, basic needs are not always met. Their living conditions often involve multiple family members sharing a single room, which can be incredibly challenging. In the face of these hardships, my students show resilience, determination, and an eagerness to learn. They are extraordinary kids, full of potential, and it is my goal to provide them with a space that encourages them to thrive.
This year, as I teach Environmental Science, I want my classroom to be a place where my students can feel at ease, so they can focus on learning and growing. With your help, I have been able to create a cozy, inviting corner in the classroom, complete with a carpet, floor seats, and throw pillows. This small but important change allows my students to feel comfortable and relaxed in a space where they can explore, collaborate, and engage with the subject matter. It offers them an opportunity to take a break from the stress they may face outside the classroom and experience the joy of learning in a peaceful, supportive environment.
The students in my class are incredible in so many ways. Many come from immigrant families seeking refuge in a sanctuary city, while others face the daily struggles of homelessness or being in foster care. Despite their challenges, they are strong, resourceful, and full of life. Over 75% of the students at our school come from extremely low-income households, but they possess the same curiosity and drive as any other student. They are the scientists of tomorrow, and by creating an environment that nurtures their potential, I believe they will go on to do extraordinary things.
Your donation has already made a noticeable difference in the way my students approach their learning. The comfort and sense of belonging they feel in this new space motivates them to engage more fully with their education. When students feel valued and supported, they are more likely to take risks, ask questions, and actively participate in their learning. This, in turn, helps build their confidence and their belief in themselves as capable, capable learners.
Thank you again for your incredible generosity and for believing in the power of education to change lives. Your support means the world to me and to my students. Together, we are creating a classroom that fosters both academic growth and emotional well-being, and for that, I am deeply grateful.
With sincere appreciation,”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Mukherjee
