Middle School Body Changes Need Your Support!
Funded Mar 10, 2018Having deodorants and pads for my middle school students is not only essential for their growing bodies but, is also encouraging for their minds. To know they can rely on their teachers in difficult situations creates a sense of respect and trust in the classroom. At such an insecure and impressionable time in their lives, it is important to be able to provide them with hygienic resources to help them conquer the difficult obstacles of adolescent hood. Some of my students have already required emergency situations in which I was able to provide them with female hygienic supplies. Thank you so much for your invaluable support.”

This classroom project was brought to life by Salesforce.org and 2 other donors.Computer Geeks Need Ink!
Funded Feb 7, 2018Thank you for your generous donation. This project allowed my students to continue creating and encouraged them to write more works of art. My students don't always have the means to support their creativity. This project allowed them to continue producing works and pieces. It is very exciting for my students to receive this donation because without it, they would no longer be able to print their work. Having access to a working and functioning printer is imperative at this day in age. Rather than having my students wonder how they will get their projects done, the can come to me and we can print their assignments. Thank you for helping us to achieve our goals!”

Encourage Team Sports To Keep Kids Off The Streets!
Funded Mar 27, 2018My basketball team could not be more appreciative or excited to use these small nike bags next season to bring their equipment and uniform to and from their basketball games and practices. This project allows my students to look well suited and prepared for their commute to and from school each day. Many of my students did not have a nice bag to bring their stuff along but now, will be confident going into each and every game. I cannot thank you enough for supporting the girls and boys basketball teams. We will make sure to win on your behalf!”

Funded May 16, 2017Thank you so much for supporting our classroom project. With this project, we will be able to keep our supplies organized each time we decorate our bulletin board. Your support allows our students to demonstrate their creativity and gives them a sense of purpose in the school. They are able to display their knowledge which gives them power and pride to do more! Thank you for giving my students an opportunity. Support like this impacts the education and future of many students. These students do not lack the creativity but the supplies to perform. Thanks to your support, this is no longer a concern.”

The girls are so excited! This is one more step towards creating unity and team bonding. Many of our teammates are graduating this year so, it will take every strategy to create a new team that is as successful as the last. Your donation also gives us an advantage because it shows that we have the support of many which encourages us to become a great team.”

Funded Feb 15, 2017The impact of one reusable water bottle! Because of your donation, I have had to post another project for reusable water bottles just to fill the high demand. The water bottles were such a hit that I have had multiple classes coming up to me asking for one! Many of my students use their water bottle each and every day. They hang them from their backpacks which has enticed other students too. The students also enjoyed all the healthy snacks. Many of my students were eating unhealthy foods, which inspired this project. With this project I was able to show them healthy and tasty alternatives!”

6am Flag Football
Funded Feb 10, 2017Thank you so much for contributing to our morning football program here at I.S.61. Through this donation, you have supported many student athletes who dedicate themselves each and every day. The students come before school just to have an opportunity to play organized football in a safe and controlled environment. They are able to learn the rules of football and better themselves in time management and commitment. The students are so happy to use the new materials, as we have been using torn footballs and broken equipment for some time. With this project we were able to focus on the game, rather than ineffective equipment. Your donation is impacting the young minds of students by supporting a program that teaches not only football but, responsibility and perseverance; qualities that will make these students successful both on and off the field.”

Funded Dec 31, 2016Your donation has made such a great impact on our classroom. With the laminator and sheets, we were able to decorate the classroom and keep things in great condition! In the classroom, we have already laminated multiplication charts and used the tape you bought to adhere to each desk to support struggling students in the classroom. We also created a stop sign that allows students to write on post-its and give responses to how they feel about their progress in the classroom and whether they understood the lesson that was just given. The laminator allows the teacher to set up stations and feedback techniques that keep students engaged! We cannot wait to do more projects so that we may laminate and keep our work in the shape we want. Thank you so much for helping to make my classroom come to life, and our work live forever!”

MK Basketball Girls' & Boys' Team
Funded Dec 20, 2016Thank you so much for your contribution! Both the girls' and boys' team is a thriving, successful program thanks to your donation and the dedication of these student athletes. Both the girls' and boys' teams are having outstanding seasons! The girls' team is 8-0 on the North Shore Middle School Staten Island League and the boys are 4-5, making a strong comeback and a hopeful playoff position. Both teams loved the new basketballs! The gym bag is prefect for bringing uniforms to and from the games and the whistles and board help our coaches out tremendously. We are so grateful for your support and hope to win the Championship in your honor!”

This classroom project was brought to life by DICK'S Sporting Goods Foundation - Sports Matter and 2 other donors.Making Mathematical Models
Funded Nov 14, 2016Thank you for allowing my students to succeed. Through your donations we were able to set up multiple class projects to demonstrate our understanding. With all the supplies given, we have already completed two projects that will help us succeed and create great works for our portfolios. Our portfolios consist of all the work we have done all year long. Because of your contribution, we were able to create plenty of graphs that can go in to these portfolios. The first project we did was measuring our arm span and height. We used the pencils and graph paper you donated to document and graph our results to show a positive relationship! Then, we took the ice cream sales and temperature of an ice cream store and were able to document and graph those results to show a negative relationship. Doing these graphs allow us to relate real world things/experiences to math. We were able to do this project thanks to your contribution. We were able to use the paper and pencils to complete the project and the stapler to put our project together and finally hang it in the classroom! Thanks to you, we had the items we needed to create the perfect class environment.”
