  • Keep Us Hydrated and Energized During Our Field Day!

    Funded May 7, 2024

    I hope this letter finds you well. On behalf of I.S5 and especially our students, I want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous support of our recent field day event. Your contributions of beverages and snacks were invaluable, and we truly appreciate your commitment to our community.

    Thanks to your kindness, our students were able to stay hydrated and energized throughout the day. The warm weather made the refreshing drinks a highlight, and the snacks provided a much-needed boost when energy levels were low. It was wonderful to see the smiles on their faces as they enjoyed the treats you helped provide. Once again thank you for all of your support!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Castillo

  • Ending the Year with Some Fun!

    Funded May 2, 2023

    I would like to express my deepest gratitude for your generous donation towards the purchase of BBQ grills for our annual Special Education picnic. Your support has made it possible for us to provide a memorable and enjoyable experience for our students, staff, and their families.

    The addition of these BBQ grills did not only enhance the overall atmosphere or the picnic but also allowed us to create a sense of community and togetherness. I firmly believe that such events play a crucial role in fostering strong relationships and building positive school culture. Your contribution has made a significant impact on our ability to organize this event, and I am truly grateful for your kindness and support.

    Once again, thank you for your generosity and for investing in the well-being and happiness of our school community.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Castillo

Flexible seating will help my students work to their full potential. Providing my students with the opportunity to select a classroom space will help them learn and work more efficiently. Flexible seating will help meet the individual needs of the students in my class. More importantly it will give students who usually do not have a voice in their education the opportunity to take ownership of their learning. The donations received will help create comfortable, safe spaces for learning. Flexible seating will help me learn more about my students and will help strengthen trust in the classroom. Flexibility is key when reaching students with special needs.
