School Fire: Kindergarten Room Recovery
Funded Jan 4, 2018
I cannot thank you enough for your generous donations! Having new resources to finish out the year as well as well as start off the new year has been amazing. The kids learned so much throughout the last 6 months and it was all because of your generous donations!
When the boxes were delivered to my room, the kids were completely stunned and helped me go through them and open things up. They were especially excited about our classroom Kindle and all of the writing materials for coloring and making letters. We absolutely love to dance in our room and having speakers helped us keep moving! While we were sad because of all we had lost, we were so thankful for everything we received!
Our 2 next tasks at hand are receiving 2 new Kindles and creating a large classroom library. I have recently moved to a different school and am now teaching 3rd grade and I am hoping to get more complex texts for my kiddos. Thank you s so much for your generosity, supporting education and my fabulous students!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Patterson

On December 23rd, the Rollins School in Lawrence, MA suffered an electrical fire causing roughly $2 million dollars in damages. Kindergarten Room 5 has been my second home for these first two years of my teaching career and the 21 students in my classroom make my life. They are bright, enthusiastic, creative and clever people who deserve every opportunity to learn and reach their truest potential. Lawrence is one of the most impoverished cities in the country, where 65% of students are economically disadvantaged and 84% are high needs students. I’m absolutely heartbroken to be one of several rooms to be deemed a total loss and I’ve lost everything to help these fabulous kids achieve anything. Having invested over $1,000 of my own money, resources and equipment and being a 23 new “real life” adult, I can’t afford to provide for my students in the way that they deserve and I am devastated. Room 5 will be Room 205 in a new school, we are starting over from scratch and absolutely any donations would be incredibly appreciated. In order to have a functional classroom to support the learning needs of all students, I need a ton of materials- from basics like markers, crayons and pencils to speakers, headphones and laminators, etc. These children have the right to a basic, foundational education and without the materials that they need, they do not have the opportunity to reach their truest potential.
