Cold Month Clothing
Funded Dec 13, 2023Words cannot express how grateful we are for the donations. Ours scholars were lined up to receive a sweatshirt/sweater to wear in these cold months. There are so many of our scholars who are unable to have the proper clothing afforded to them due to the income of their parent/guardian. Their eyes lit up as the sweatshirt/ sweaters were being handed out. Parents/guardians called the school and or came in person to say thank you.
We are ever so thankful that someone found it not robbery to be a blessing. Our school is in the heart of East New York in which the majority of our scholars live. The economic status in this area is of low-income housing. We also have more scholars who live in shelters attending our school this year. Having an opportunity like this to give our scholars a chance to be warm while learning is priceless. This was truly a blessing and again thank you for your support and donations.”

Middle School Notebooks
Funded Aug 17, 2021First I want to say thank you for your donations of these notebooks. Our students needed the notebooks for classwork and homework assignments within their core subjects (Math, ELA, Science and History). So many of our students come from households in which even something as small as a notebook can be a burden to buy. You have allowed our students to be able to feel confident in notetaking with a proper notebook. They are more willing to write and participate in class. Not only were our students excited to receive the notebooks, but they wanted to help to distribute them to their schoolmates. The next steps for our 8th grade students, where the majority of the notebooks were distributed, is to prepare for three state regents exams. These exams will give them an academic advantage when they enter into high school. We are grateful and honored that you chose our school to donate to.
Thank you again for your donations.”
