Striving for Success
Funded Dec 25, 2024I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my gratitude for your generous donation to our "Striving for Success" reading project. Your support has significantly impacted the lives of our eager readers here in the Bronx.
Thanks to your contribution, we have introduced diverse new texts that ignite our students' imaginations and enhance their critical reading skills. These books have created valuable opportunities for students to engage with stories they can read, fostering a love for reading that is crucial for their academic growth.
In our classroom, reading has transformed into an interactive and exciting experience. Students eagerly gather during our reading sessions, enthusiastically exploring new worlds and discussing themes. Seeing their faces light up as they connect with the characters and ideas presented in these texts is heartwarming.
Many students who previously struggled to find joy in reading have discovered a newfound passion, leading to improved confidence and performance. One student has shown remarkable progress since we began using the new decodable books. Initially hesitant, they are now the first to ask to choose a book. This progress is a beautiful reminder of how the right resources can unlock potential in our young learners.
Once again, thank you for your kindness and dedication to our students' education. Your generosity enriches our classroom and helps shape a brighter future for our children. We are incredibly grateful to have you as a supporter and advocate for ensuring children can access books they can read and relate to.”
With gratitude,

Funded Jan 9, 2024I wanted to express my gratitude for your generous donation towards the flexible seating for my classroom. The moment the seats were delivered, my students were thrilled to have a choice in where they could sit. Since implementing this new seating arrangement, my students have been able to complete reading tasks more comfortably and efficiently. Every day, they ask me if we can use the seats again. In particular, some of my students who struggle to sit for long periods have shown improvements in their ability to focus, as the seats allow for movement while still being productive.
When other classes pass by, all you hear is "Can we sit with them?" or "Can we get those seats?" Your willingness to support our classroom has made a significant impact that will be felt for years to come. Once again, thank you for your kindness and generosity. Your contribution has truly made a difference in the lives of my students.
Sincerely,”
With gratitude,
