  My students can't get enough of the snacks. They have been getting really excited when I pull out the bin to give out rewards. I almost need a refill already!! Thank you so much for donating to my class and making the classroom environment so much better.

  I wish I had more to give them. The snacks are a great motivator in my classroom. It has increased engagement in my classroom and that is worth so much to me. I can't thank you enough. I could not have afforded this without you.

• STEM Brain Games Refresh

  Funded May 6, 2024

  Thank you so much for supporting my classroom. My students were really excited to receive a refresh of the games bin.

  I know these games do not seem like much but my classroom really benefits from these types of games because it gives my students a chance to do something fun without a device. They learn how to play a new game or they get better playing an old game. They also have a chance to socialize in a positive manner.

  The students really enjoy playing some classic board games and getting a chance to do something different during our reward times. Without your generous donation this would not be possible. I really appreciate your contribution.”

• A Place to Play!

  Funded May 6, 2024

  Thank you so much for your generous support. This project would not have been possible without your generosity. I appreciate it, and my students appreciate it.

  My afterschool club is 1000 times enhanced because of this video game system. The students have already linked their accounts and they are playing together in person rather than virtually.

  Some of the students do not get a chance to play these types of games at home so having access to it after school is very exciting for them. This XBox will excite my students for years to come.”

• BattleBots for STEM After-School Excitement!

  Funded Sep 21, 2023

  Once again, thank you for supporting this project. The Battlebots that were purchased with your donations have revitalized my after-school club. The students love them. We have more kids than ever signed up for the STEM club.

  The Battlebots have been such a fun and engaging activity for the students. They are something that they don't have at home so they enjoy having access to them at school. The students are learning how to use the bots and then they are going to set up tournaments. It has been really fun to see!

  Thank you for helping my club continue to thrive! I am so happy that I can count on you!

• New Drones to Replace Old Drones for STEM Class

  Funded Dec 5, 2022

  Thank you so much for funding this project. We have been flying drones and coding them in our room for a few years now but some of the drones were broken. We now have a full class set again, thanks to you.

  The students are having an amazing time using the drones and the accessories that came with them. They have learned how to code and navigate in a 3D environment.

  It is so great to be able to continue offering this activity to our students and it is all thanks to you for keeping the closet stocked with drones.”

• STEM Brain Games

  Funded Nov 16, 2022

  Thank you for making this project possible. It is so important to reward my students from time to time and to reward them with activities away from their screens. These games have allowed them to engage offline and socialize face-to-face.

  The students were so happy to start playing with the new brain games. They look forward to our next reward day.

  My students are going to continue to perform at a high level so they earn more time with these games. I hope they will be enjoyed by students for years to come.”

• Robotic Kits for Future Engineers of the Bronx

  Funded Oct 26, 2022

  Thank you once again for supporting my classroom. My students were so excited when the robot and marble run kits came in. They wanted to open them right away.

  A few of the students started building the hydraulic robot arm and the other students are coming up with different marble runs on the magnetic whiteboard. It is so great seeing them work together. They can't wait to get back to the after-school club after the week of being off so they can work on their kits.

  My club is such a better place with this equipment. Thank you for making this all possible.”

• Stem Supplies for Future Engineers of the Bronx

  Funded Oct 20, 2022

  Thank you so much for filling our closets with materials to complete our STEM projects. STEM is the most important class that my students take, in my opinion. STEM prepares them for future careers and opens their minds to new ways of thinking.

  My students were so happy to have all the materials they needed to complete their projects and they know that the students that take my class next year will have supplies going forward.

  I can't thank you enough for supporting my students and my classroom. I hope you enjoy the pictures of their hard work and their creations.”

• Behavior Incentive Aracde Part 2!

  Funded Sep 29, 2022

  Thank you so much for donating to my classroom and making my classroom arcade bigger and better. This new arcade machine has allowed more students to enjoy reward time, at the same time because we have two machines now.

  My homeroom students who have maintained proper classroom expectations from the day before are allowed to have reward time in the morning the next day before first period. The students are more inclined to show up to school on time when they know they are allowed to have reward time at the arcade. The students set up mini-tournaments and are having a great time with the Marvel Arcade.

  The students have been taking really good care of the machines and making sure to keep them in top-notch working condition. Students are always looking for new ways to earn reward time on the machines. This has totally enhanced student behavior and engagement in my classroom.”
