  • Help Me Take My Classroom from Drab to Fab 2.0

    Funded Dec 3, 2024

    Thank you again for your very kind & generous donation. These materials have really turned my classroom into a more stimulating & inviting environment. The wallpaper has really been an improvement from the drab brown walls. The whiteboard contact paper has made the our chalkboard more functional & useful during lessons. The storage cabinet has allowed me to be more organized & provides easy access to my necessary classroom materials, like pencils, paper, and folders. The artwork & motivational message posters add a touch of humanity & warmth to our classroom atmosphere.”

  • Help Me Take My Classroom From Drab to Fab

    Funded Apr 6, 2023

    I want to start by saying thank you for your generosity. As a result of this donation I was able to make my classroom more inviting. Instead of bland bare walls, I know have vibrant colors and educational posters. It is often under estimated the importance of creating an environment that is stimulating and welcoming for students. All students deserve to have a learning environment that intrigues them and promotes wonder. These bulletin board paper and posters have allowed me to do that. This small change has had a large impact. I am forever appreciative.”

  • Give New Immigrant Students the Opportunity of a Lifetime!

    Funded Oct 30, 2015

    February 25, 2016

    Hillcrest High School

    Queens, NY 11432

    Dear Donors,

    Yesterday we attended On Your Feet, the Broadway show about the life of Gloria Estefan. It was unforgettable experience. For all the students this was their first Broadway experience. There was diversity in the show. The actors spoke in Spanish and English. Many of the Latino students felt proud and inspired. This was an opportunity to see a positive image of Latin Americans that they are rarely exposed to. The message they took away was anything can be accomplished through hard work.

    I have a diverse group of students. Students from Haiti, Bangladesh, African nations, and many other countries throughout the world attended the performance. These students were able to connect with the immigrant experience portrayed in the show.

    As their teacher I was overwhelmed with emotion as I saw the sheer joy and excitement on the students faces and I believe this was life changing moment for many. I cannot thank you enough. Please understand that you have planted a seed and made a lifelong impact.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Patterson
