  • Copy That

    Funded Feb 22, 2023

    Thank you so much for donating paper to our classroom! We are currently in the process of creating our own book of poetry and we will make copies to share with our families! Thank you for aiding us in our learning.

    Also, we have been able to make a 4th grade newsletter and keep in touch with our parents. Having that copy paper available made communication easier.

    My students have learned a very valuable lesson and are eager to one day be able to return the favor to someone else. Thank you for your generosity.”

  • Sharpen Us

    Funded Apr 6, 2023

    Thank you so much for helping my kiddos get a pencil sharpener. Life is definitely about the small pleasures and they sure love using the sharpener.

    They are so excited when they get to use the sharpener and then complete their work with a nice sharp point. I still remember the feeling of writing neat note with my fresh pencil. It is incredible how something so minor can have such a huge impact. We thank you so much for giving us a wonderful experience. We know that soon we would like to take the time to help others, as you have helped us.”

  • Label Me Organized

    Funded Apr 6, 2023

    Thank you so much for giving us a label maker. We are more organized than ever before. Having this organization has helped us become more productive on our day to day tasks. We are no longer wasting time trying to find our supplies. Everything in our room has a beautiful place and matching labels.

    My students are extremely excited to feel such support from complete strangers. Many of them have expressed how this experience has helped them see that help is available if need. They in turn have become more helpful toward others.”

  • Forever Yours

    Funded Mar 1, 2023

    Thank you so much for helping my students get the materials they need in order to have a more successful school year. Having laminating sheets to ensure our valuable writing and drawings last a lifetime is a great feeling. We were able to look at our work and feel proud of our accomplishments as teacher and student. Parents also get to show off their child's great work.

    My students also received a valuable lesson in giving to others. Many of my kiddos have expressed that when they grow up they would like to give back to children in need as well. Thank you for all your help.”

  • Copy Cat

    Funded Feb 3, 2023

    Thank you so much for your kind donation. My students and I were so excited to be able to make the necessary copies everyday. We were able to draw pictures and make books. Then, we shared and displayed our assignments on our bulletin board.

    Communication with parents increased because we could print out weekly newsletter to keep them informed. It is a great feeling to have help when the school system does no provide everything that we need.

    We will make sure to one day repay this kind gesture back.”

  • More Games More Fun

    Funded Jan 23, 2023

    Thank you so much for supporting our class!!! The students and I were so excited when we received all our games. We bond and enjoy playing games every Friday afternoon. The kiddos look forward to talking and learning through games.

    You did not have to help us, but you took the time to do so and that means so much to us. We make sure to share and give to others because we learned from amazing people like you that giving feels even better than receiving. We are extremely appreciative and joyous.”

  • Clear Success

    Funded Jan 13, 2023

    Thank you so much for your incredible donation! The students and I are very eager to create many art lessons that we can now preserve. We started off by coloring and laminating inspirational quotes that help us stay positive.

    Your generosity has reached my students since they can't believe that people who don't know them have done something so kind. My students have learned a valuable lesson about what an act of kindness can do to our hearts and lives. We will definitely give back to our community and are very grateful for people like you.”

  • Bright Days

    Thank you so much for the incredible donations and your thoughtfulness! You have made my student's day more colorful and bright! Everyday we use the markers, crayons and colored pencils.

  • Book Us!

    Funded Sep 29, 2022

    Thank you so much for your incredible and thoughtful donations! My students are so excited to have notebooks available whenever they need one. Parents were able to send their children to school and not have to worry about notebooks in these tough times.

    You have taught my kiddos a wonderful lesson about giving and kindness. My children can't believe that people who don't event know them have taken the time to think about them. We appreciate your generosity and will use our notebooks for many lessons to come!”

  • Clear Success!

    Funded Aug 14, 2021

    Thank you so much for taking the time to donate to my kiddos. We were so excited to receive the laminating pouches. Not only are they useful to preserve our beautiful assignments, but they are so fun to use.

    We have used the laminating pouches to publish Literacy assignments and frame unique and priceless art work. You have given us valuable school supplies and an amazing lesson about giving. My students are very happy to know that people they have never met took an intrest in their education. We thank you and appreciate you very much!”

My students are amazing and great individuals with very unique styles. We are in the Bronx and are severely overcrowded. In order to close the academic gap we have departmentalized, which means my students travel from room to room for different subjects. A seat sack will help them organize the material that goes out with them minimizing the time spent looking for materials. They are often commenting on the fact that they do not have space for their things or simply cannot find it because it's somewhere in their overcrowded desk. The seat sacks will alleviate the feeling of disorganization that can overwhelm students and interfere with their school experience.
