Bronx High School Needs Yoga Supplies!
Funded Dec 2, 2011Thank you so much for your generous donations to the health and happiness of our school community. Yoga Club has been a wonderful experience for our students.They have to come to look forward to that hour and a half of the week that they spend focused on themselves: on their breathing, movement, flexibility. This practice gives them the chance to take a break from the numerous stresses of their hectic daily lives: difficult home lives, economic concerns, a variety of academic, and extra-curricular responsibilities. We leave Yoga Club feeling relaxed and rested and refocused. Your donations have made this possible! Thank you!”
With gratitude,

Copies of Night so my Students Can "Bear Witness"!
Funded May 14, 2009Thank you so much for your very generous donation of 75 copies of Elie Wiesel's Night. In the spring, the sophomores in my World Literature class will be reading these beautiful, brand new copies of Night, as we discuss the literary and historical significance of this "slim volume of terrifying power" (NYTimes).
Last year, I did not have enough copies of Night and had to waste a tremendous amount of paper so that all of my students could read the book. My students were profoundly affected by the work and by the end of the unit, I felt even more convinced that I should continue to teach the memoir. Now, thanks to your help, I will be able to do so.
I asked my former sophomores to write the thank you letters, as they have read Night and know its power. My current sophomores will certainly be grateful to have such lovely, new copies when we read Night together this spring.
Thank you so much for supporting my classroom and the classrooms of this country that so need your support!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Lewkowicz
