Funded Mar 3, 2022I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous contribution to the DonorsChoose.org project led by Ms. Castro at Shields Middle School. Your support has made a significant impact on our students and the broader community.
Thanks to your donation, we were able to establish the Shields Middle School Knitting Club, a wonderful initiative that has provided our students with a nurturing and creative environment. This club has become a space where our students can not only learn the art of knitting but also experience the profound joy of giving back to their community.
The Shields Middle School Knitting Club has not only helped our students explore their creative talents but has also given them a sense of purpose by knitting hats for various non-profit organizations in Chicago. Your contribution has allowed our students to experience the power of empathy and compassion as they make a positive difference in the lives of those less fortunate. It's heartwarming to see how your support has enabled our students to learn the value of helping others and being a force for good in the world.
The impact of your generosity extends beyond our school walls, reaching the hearts of those who receive the beautifully crafted hats. Your donation has gone far in making a tangible difference in our community and in instilling important life lessons in our students.
Once again, thank you for your generosity, kindness, and belief in our mission. Your contribution has not only provided our students with a safe and calming space to explore their creativity but has also empowered them to be compassionate, giving individuals. We are immensely grateful for your support.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Castro
