Build it: A Fun and Rewarding Recess
Funded Dec 29, 2024I don't know if I can express my gratitude for your kindness and support. The students are so happy with the materials and the mood at lunch as changed substantially.
The Tic Tac Toe, though simple and a throw-back, was a huge hit that has become a daily competition between students. And the Legos have helped our children create small worlds where they creatively interact and invent. One day, a student who was having a particular difficult day, came to me and asking for the Thomas trains. In no time he was able to recollect himself and focus for the rest of the day. It was remarkable.
Again, thank you for your kindness. Our students will continue to benefit from your support. Though it is only 40 minutes of their day, the effects reverberate for much longer.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Griffin
Quench the Thirst in the South Bronx
Funded Mar 10, 2021It is a new school year, but your kindness is still making a difference for students at my school and for the kids who have moved on to middle school. I am lucky to be reminded everyday as the students continue to bring in their water bottles which help keep them safe and reduce waste.
I still remember the day I gave Armando his bottle. While all of the kids were excited, Armando was almost crying. He stopped next to me on his way out and said, " Thank you so much Mrs. Griffin. Now I don't have to borrow my little brothers sippy cup anymore." I will never forget the pride in his eyes.
Your support has made a difference in these young people's lives now and into the future. My sincerest thanks.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Griffin
