Funded Feb 25, 2025We are incredibly grateful for your generous donations toward our Women's Empowerment Symposium. Thanks to you, we were able to create beautifully curated gift bags filled with essential and uplifting items, including lotions, lip balm, journals, pens, hairbrushes, motivational bookmarks, and bracelets. These gifts were more than just items—they were symbols of encouragement, self-care, and inspiration for our female students.
When our students received their gift bags, their faces lit up with excitement and appreciation. Many of them immediately flipped through their new journals, eager to jot down thoughts and reflections inspired by the event. Others proudly wore their motivational bracelets, sharing the empowering messages with their peers. The atmosphere was one of gratitude, motivation, and a renewed sense of confidence.
This symposium was more than just a day of learning—it was a transformative experience. Our students engaged in powerful discussions led by staff and guest speakers, covering topics such as leadership, self-worth, and goal setting. The resources you provided became tools for continued growth beyond the event. Journals are now being used for daily affirmations, and the bookmarks serve as daily reminders of the strength each student carries within.
Looking ahead, we aim to build on the momentum created by this event. Our students are now working on personal empowerment projects, setting goals, and developing action plans for their futures. Your support has planted the seeds of self-belief, and we are excited to see these young women grow into the leaders they are meant to be.
Thank you for being a part of this journey. Your generosity has made a lasting impact, and we can't wait to share more success stories with you in the future!”

Funded Feb 25, 2025On behalf of our students and staff, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you for your generous donation of waffle mix and waffle makers for our Waffle Wednesday tradition! Your kindness has brought so much joy and warmth to our school community.
The excitement in our students' eyes when they first saw the waffle supplies was priceless! From the very first Waffle Wednesday, the aroma of fresh waffles filled our space, creating an inviting and comforting atmosphere. This weekly tradition has become more than just a breakfast treat—it's a time for students to come together, share conversations, and start their day with a smile.
Beyond enjoying delicious waffles, this experience has also provided valuable learning opportunities. Students have taken on roles in measuring ingredients, following instructions, and even helping to serve their peers, fostering responsibility and teamwork. In upcoming weeks, we plan to integrate math lessons by exploring measurements, fractions, and even budgeting for ingredients—making learning hands-on and engaging.
Your generosity has helped create lasting memories and meaningful learning moments for our students. Thank you for making Waffle Wednesday possible and for bringing joy to our school in such a special way!”

Funded Feb 26, 2025I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your generous contribution to our classroom. Thanks to your support, my students now have an array of colorful and creative school supplies that have truly brightened their learning experience.
The moment my students saw the new supplies, their faces lit up with excitement! The vibrant pens, markers, crayons, and colorful paper instantly sparked their creativity and motivation. These materials have transformed our classroom activities, making learning more engaging and fun.
One memorable project we completed was a collaborative writing assignment for our class bulletin board. Students used the colorful pens and paper to bring their ideas to life, adding personal touches to their work that made them proud to display it. The colorful supplies have also become a great incentive—students are eager to participate and complete their work when they know they get to use these special materials!
Looking ahead, we are working on a creative storytelling unit where students will use the markers and crayons to illustrate their own short stories. This project will allow them to express their ideas visually while strengthening their writing skills. Thanks to your kindness, they have the tools to make their stories as vibrant as their imaginations!
Your generosity has made a meaningful difference in our classroom, and we are so grateful for your support. Thank you for helping us create a bright and inspiring learning environment!”

Funded Feb 25, 2025I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation of stress-relieving items to our classroom. The chess boards, games, fidget toys, crayons, fun seats, and stress toys have already made a huge impact, creating a more comfortable and supportive learning environment for my students.
These resources have become an essential part of our daily routine. Students use the fidget toys and stress balls to help them stay focused during lessons, while the fun seats provide a relaxing space for reading and quiet work. The chess boards and games have encouraged teamwork and problem-solving, creating opportunities for students to engage with each other in meaningful ways. The crayons have sparked creativity, allowing students to express themselves through drawing and coloring when they need a mental break.
One of the most memorable moments was watching two students—who usually struggle with focus—become completely engaged in a chess game. They strategized, discussed moves, and even started teaching others how to play. It was incredible to see their confidence grow through something as simple as a game. Another student, who often experiences anxiety, told me that having a fidget toy at their desk has helped them feel calmer and more in control during class.”

Funded Feb 26, 2025The snack donations have made an incredible impact in our classroom. My students now have access to food throughout the day, ensuring they can focus on their lessons without the distraction of hunger. The pantry has become a safe and welcoming space where students know they can grab something to eat without hesitation. This small yet meaningful resource has boosted their energy, motivation, and overall well-being, allowing them to be more engaged and ready to learn.
One of the most touching moments happened when a student who often struggles with participation grabbed a granola bar before class and then eagerly raised their hand to contribute to our discussion. It was a clear reminder of how meeting basic needs can unlock a student's potential. During group work, I also noticed students sharing snacks while collaborating on a project, creating a sense of camaraderie and support among them. These small acts of kindness have strengthened our classroom community.
The excitement and relief on my students' faces when they saw the stocked snack pantry were unforgettable. Many of them couldn't believe that they were allowed to take what they needed without question. One student even said, "This makes school feel like home." Knowing that they have access to food has given them peace of mind and has helped them start their day with a positive outlook.”

Funded Feb 25, 2025I cannot thank you enough for your generous donation of snacks to our classroom! Your kindness has made a tremendous impact on my students, providing them with the nourishment they need to focus, stay energized, and fully engage in their learning.
The moment my students saw the stocked pantry, their faces lit up with excitement and relief. Many of them come to school hungry, and knowing they have access to food whenever they need it has made a world of difference. It has not only helped with their concentration in class but has also created a sense of comfort and security within our classroom.
One particularly touching moment happened when a student who usually struggles to stay focused shared how much it meant to have a snack available. He told me, "Now I don't have to worry about being hungry, and I can just think about my work." This simple yet powerful change has allowed students to dedicate themselves to their education without the distraction of hunger.”

This classroom project was brought to life by A New York City Parent and one other donor.Snacks and Social Studies
Funded Feb 19, 2025The donation of snacks to our classroom has made an incredible difference for my students, many of whom come from low-income homes. For many, having access to a nutritious snack during the school day is not just a small comfort—it's a necessity that helps them stay focused, energized, and ready to learn. Because of your generosity, my students no longer have to worry about being hungry during class, which has significantly improved their ability to concentrate and engage in their lessons.
When my students first saw the snacks, their faces lit up with excitement and relief. Some immediately grabbed their favorite items, while others expressed their gratitude with heartfelt words. One student, in particular, said, "Now I don't have to wait until lunch to eat. I can actually focus in the morning!" Moments like this highlight just how meaningful your contribution has been.
With these snacks available, I've noticed a shift in classroom morale. Students are more attentive, eager to participate, and able to fully engage in their work without the distraction of hunger. Additionally, we've been able to incorporate these resources into our classroom in creative ways. For example, as part of an economics lesson on budgeting and financial literacy, students created a mock snack shop where they learned about pricing, supply and demand, and decision-making—all while reinforcing the value of food accessibility.”
