    Thank you so much for donating to my classroom. Your kindness allowed my class to have materials that they otherwise would not have. The folders you gave us organized our assignments and kept our areas neat.

    My amazing students and parents were able to have important school supplies because of your thoughfulness. We appreciate that you took time to think about us and we hope you know how happy you have made us. We have started filling up those folders with amazing assignments and can't wait to share all our great findings with others.”

  • Colorful Days!

    Funded Sep 14, 2021

    Thank you so much for your generous donation. Thanks to you my students were able to receive beautiful brand new colorful pencils and markers. These materials are important and neccesary any time, but during Covid season parents are struggling even more than normal.

    We have been able to use our colored pencils and markers to express ourselves. The students used their colored pencils to draw and sketch different eyes they see through masks. This lesson helped them not only learn about emotions but also how to learn non-verbal communication through art.

    We truly thank you and will use our materials on a daily basis. Thank you for giving us your support!”

Making sure that my students stay safe is very important to me. I take that responsibility very serious.

  • Attracted to Reading!

    Funded Apr 19, 2021

    Thank you so much for giving us magnetic letters and words so that my student can become avid readers. They love working with magnetic letters. They are very colorful and inviting and the students don't even realize they are learning important skills.

    During these difficult times students of low income are not receiving the materials they need and many parents do not have the funds to purchase these items for their kids. We thank you so much for taking the time to help us and teach us a valuable lesson about giving!”

    Funded Apr 14, 2021

    Thank you so much for helpig my class get their own hard cover chapter book. They are so excited to drop everything and read or do DEAR time as we call it. I love to see their happy faces as they receive their book, but also hear them laughing as they enjoy reading. My kiddos are developing a love for learning and reading and this is even more important for my English Language Learners.

    We appreciate you and your kindness. We hope to one day be able to help other students receive the materials and equity they deserve. Thank you!”

  • Better Letters

    Funded Apr 14, 2021

    Thank you so much for donating magnetic letters to my students. I really wanted to get these letters because I teach the English Language learners and they enjoy these letters. They are constatly asking if they can do the word-study center. My students have been learning how to decode, while having such a good time.

    Aside from learning how to spell and decode you have also taught my students a valuable lesson on sharing and caring. They are so impressed when I tell them people thought about us in these difficult times and took the time to donate. They all want to do the same when they grow up.”

    Ms. Torres

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.
