  • Blossoming Minds: Cultivating an Outdoor Oasis for Learning

    Funded Mar 22, 2024

    Although our playground and Outdoor Oasis is still a work in progress, I am thrilled to share the tremendous strides we have made in transforming this space into a vibrant and welcoming environment for the children. As we continue to develop and enhance this area, it is heartening to see how much progress has already been achieved. The playground and Outdoor Oasis are looking significantly better, reflecting the dedication and care that have gone into every step of this project. It's amazing to witness how far we've come, and I am confident that with ongoing efforts, we will create a truly exceptional space for the children to explore, learn, and play.

    The improvements we've seen so far are a testament to the hard work, planning, and collaborative efforts that have gone into this project. From the initial stages of clearing and preparing the area to selecting the right materials and equipment, every detail has been thoughtfully considered to ensure that this space meets the needs of our children while also fostering their growth and development. The children's excitement as they play and explore the playground is a joy to witness, and it reinforces the importance of creating an environment where they can thrive.

    One aspect of the project that has made a significant difference is the addition of mulch to the playground. The mulch not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the area but also provides a softer, safer surface for the children as they explore that particular area. However, as we continue to refine and improve the space, it has become evident that we may need to order more mulch to fully complete the vision we have for the playground and Outdoor Oasis. Ensuring that the mulch is replenished and evenly spread will help maintain the safety and beauty of the area, creating a more comfortable and inviting environment for the children.

    In this context, I want to express my deepest gratitude for the support and generosity that has made this project possible. Your contributions have been instrumental in helping us bring this vision to life, and I am truly thankful for the trust and confidence you have placed in us. Every donation, every offer of assistance, and every word of encouragement has played a crucial role in the progress we've made, and I am humbled by the outpouring of support we have received. It is because of your generosity that we are able to create a space that will have a lasting positive impact on the lives of the children.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Kenny

  • Empowering Minds: Bridging History Through Black Stories

    Funded Dec 18, 2023

    I am writing to you to express my truly deepest gratitude for your incredibly generous donation of African American stories and books to our students. Your thoughtful contribution has had a profoundly positive impact on all of our students, and we are truly grateful for your support. The addition of these diverse and inclusive stories to our school and classroom library has enriched our overall black history month celebration and has created meaningful learning opportunities for our students. Through these books, our children have been able to understand and appreciate black history on a literary level.

    Your donation has not only provided our students with access to a wide range of high-quality literature but has also helped to promote a sense of belonging and representation within our school!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Kenny

  • Preschool Clean Crusaders

    Funded Nov 28, 2023

    Thank you SO MUCH for your generous donations. Your donations have helped to promote a clean and hygienic environment, which is essential for the overall health and well-being of the children in my classroom. This truly has been a gift as winter time is the time when students get sick the most, and then spread those germs throughout the class. However, while several classes this year were faced with multiple students out due to sickness, as is the norm during the winter season, I am proud to say that this is the first year where the majority of my class avoided getting ill. We had one student get ill, but this was a much better result than from previous years. Additionally, having access to a variety of cleaning materials allowed for more frequent and thorough cleaning practices! When we received our classroom supplies, it allowed us to have a really fun discussion about the importance of being clean and helped my students to ensure that they take care of their hygiene.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Kenny

When many of our students and teachers may need to take a quick break, I would love it if I could awaken the dead gated rooftop garden to serve as a calm and safe space. Also, during spring or summer, it would be amazing if our teachers had an area to let their students do gardening or some type of brief outside-based activity and have a place to go. When some of our students desperately need a calm space to speak with their social worker and/or therapist, this Garden will serve as another safe space that can be used for such purposes! I just need help in transforming this dead Garden into our new school garden that will serve as a calm and relaxing safe space!
