  • Help Keep Children Warm this Winter!

    Funded Jan 22, 2024

    We hope this letter finds you well.

    We at PS 45 would like to express gratitude for the project that gave us socks for our students. Thank you so much for donating to our project!! You helped a community of young students stay warm during the frigid winter.

    Upon opening the packages, the students' eyes brightened and filled with excitement. I gave the warm socks to the students directly during science if I saw a need, or to the classroom teachers if they saw a need.

    We are grateful for your love and wish you the best this Spring.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Alves

    This classroom project was brought to life by Someone who cares about New York City and 2 other donors.

  • Help our Future Scientists

    Funded Jan 8, 2024

    Thank you so much for you generosity! I can't wait to show you the wonderful learning happening in the new Science Lab you made happen.

    Our school community is so grateful for you help in our scientific endeavors. We will begin a new unit on plants and animals this term.”

  • Scrumptious SNACK Time!

    Funded Sep 27, 2022

    Your donations helped to feed our hungry students during a very busy time of the year! They were nourished physically, as the teachers sought to "feed" their minds during the lesson. Many of our students do not come to school with a snack (or lunch), so this precious time before lunch was made all the more productive with your donations.

    The teachers and I thank you for your contribution to our community. Our students are better off for it!!

    Please see the pictures of the students and letters from the students attesting to the gratitude for the snacks. Thank you again!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Alves

    This classroom project was brought to life by The Peterson Family and 2 other donors.

  • P.E. at Home!

    Funded Nov 23, 2020

    Thank you so much for your generosity! Because of you, I can gift exercise materials for students in need. Now, they can take home some basic exercise equipment to help them workout at home, inspire fitness every day, and hopefully help other family members get more active. This will certainly increase their at-home movement, exercise, and fun!

    I am so grateful for programs like these that can truly help the underserved, especially as more of us are home.

    Thank you again!

    Respectfully,

    Lora Lee Alves”

  • TRAINING the FUTURE YOGINIS of the WORLD!

    Funded Dec 21, 2017

    We are putting the donations you have graciously sent us to good use! The yoga mats and parachutes have already been used during Physical Education class during warm-up and the main activity. We are enjoying learning about ways to move our bodies that relax us and prepare our minds for thinking when we return to our homerooms.

    When we first saw the enormous packages, we wondered if there were animals inside! We were just as excited to see that there were supplies to help us feel comfortable doing yoga and a parachute to play and review colors with.

    We are SO immensely grateful for your generosity! Because of your gift, our students will get to experience yoga and the benefits it conveys. It is my hope that is helps many cope with the pressures of school, test-taking, life!

    Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Healthy and prosperous 2018 to you all!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Alves

My students need the Promethean Board to be able to convey how exercise and proper eating can positively impact the body [videos and interactive activities], especially as obesity and childhood diabetes plague our population. The Promethean board will be a "game-changer" in so many ways, as the walls of a gymnasium do not generally provide an easy way to post the goals for the class, show visuals for particular exercises, and teach important concepts in health and nutrition. With this incredible tool, engagement will be heightened as the students will have an interactive, visually-stimulating board to view during each physical education class.
