I'll take "Favorite Authors" for 500, Alex
Funded Dec 13, 2004Thank you so much for the wonderful gift which you have chosen to give to my students. Please know that your donation will bring countless hours of reading enjoyment to a group of students who love to read. Through your donation, you are allowing my students to continue to be actively engaged in the act of reading. I anticipate that many of my kids will want to sign out these books to read at home after school, making them excited and eager to read, instead of just turning on the television all afternoon. Please know that your kind actions will make a difference, and that your generosity is greatly appreciated”

Once Upon a Time, in a Classroom in Brooklyn...
Funded Dec 1, 2004Thank you so much for deciding to purchase these fairy tale treasures for my students. From what I have heard from my students, they only really know classic fairy tale stories such as Cinderella and Snow White from the Disney movie version. It will be a joy to read these amazing stories with the children, and to also review and discuss character traits and lessons learned. Since so much of our popular culture is based upon or is referencing fairy tale classics, I feel it is important for students to have a concrete grasp of these tales. Thank you for providing material from which my students will be able to expand their knowledge and imagination.
Sincerely,
J. ”

We Love NYC
Funded Oct 13, 2004Wow! Well you've made my day. I would like to extend my most sincere gratitude for the treasure of books that you've decided to purchase for my students. Please know that you are making a valuable contribution, and that these materials will be put to great use. You are allowing my students' eyes to be opened to the wonderful things that our city has to offer; things that they probably would not be exposed to otherwise. A little information goes a long way, and I truly believe that these books give the type of practical knowledge which will allow my students to grow up to be intelligent, savvy, and overall successful adults.
Once again I thank you for your generosity and for your commitment in helping NYC's youth become all that they possibly can.
Sincerely,

Sweden in Brooklyn?
Funded Jun 22, 2004Thank you so much for the wonderful gift that you are providing for my students. Classroom environment plays such a huge part in the way a child learns. I am so happy that I will be able to provide my children with a fun and motivating place to read independently. Not only will it be a fun place for the children to read, but it will also be an incentive for children to do their homework, have good behavior, etc., since due to the number of students it will be a reward for a student to have "chair privileges." Thank you for making a generous contribution which I know will improve upon the overall tone and academic success within my classroom”

Make "My New York" Their New York
Funded May 3, 2004This is wonderful news. Thank you so much for investing your time and money in our children. My New York is a wonderful resource for children who live in NYC, but don't often get the chance to benefit from all that the city has to offer. It creates awareness for both the child and the parent of what valuable resources are free and available to them in this city. I can guarantee you that you are truly enhancing the lives of 17 children and their families. Many thanks to you”

Seuss-ify Our Library
Funded Apr 1, 2004Hello there! Well this has just made my day, thank you very much! Please know that when I tell my kids about this, you will have made their days too. I can guarantee to you that you have made a donation to a very worthwhile cause. I anticipate that these new books will spark some much-needed life into our independent reading sessions, and that kids will once again be asking me to sign out a book to take home. I fortunately have a group of students that really do want to learn, and I just want to be able to provide them with interesting materials in order for them to do just that. Thanks again for making such a lovely contribution to our classroom library. You have some fabulous thank you notes to look forward to!
With Respect and Regards,
