  • Yoga & Mindfulness

    Funded Sep 7, 2022

    Thank you for your generous donation and providing a place where students and families are able to do Yoga. This will support with social emotional learning and teach students how to acknowledge heir emotions and teach them breathing techniques. Students are using this through Yoga workshops . The students were excited to see they can do Yoga and loved the new Yoga mats. When a student is upset I provide them with breathing techniques and Yoga Warm Ups, by the end, the student can't remember why they were upset to start.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Monica Shepherd

  • School Supplies

    Funded Sep 7, 2022

    Thank you so much for your generous donations. This year we received Asylum's students and international students who did not have access to school supplies. Parents were worried because they were not able to provide supplies financially. Your donation reached many families and made a huge impact and ensured students had the proper recourses to achieve and be apart of the class. One student said "I love this and this is my favorite color". I was able to have a Back to school event with your donations which was a huge success, parents and students were happy.”

  • Tablets for Students

    Funded May 4, 2022

    Thank you so much for your generous donations. This had a huge impact on students ability to learn and SEL. My students were able to use the tablet for tutoring virtually and was able to connect with their tutor and grow academically. My students were so grateful and any student that was out sick was able to use the tablet for remote work. One students said "wow this is amazing, I know how to work this and I'm able to use Zoom for my tutor". Another student used it to play games on their down time from class work.”

  • Safety, Snack, and Learn

    Funded Jan 28, 2022

    Thank you so much for donating the bean bag. My students are really enjoying and it has added a nice space to my room. When the students firs seen the bean bag they wanted to leap on it and try it out . One student stated the following words "wow Ms.Shepherd, you have a bean bag now. I like this" and went on to tell me about their day while sitting in the bean bag. The students come in my office where the bean bag is placed and are able to read books or take a relaxing breath if they are emotionally dysregulated. Additionally, I was able to use the hand sanitizer and mask that you donated to go along with a hygiene product initiative to provide 40 hygiene bags to students.”

I have noticed that lunch boxes have been a need for my elementary school students. This will impact so many students who reside in temporary housing. One student came to me and said "Ms. Shepherd, do you have any lunch boxes" and this is because she felt left out because the other students in her class were able to carry their food in lunch boxes. Help my students feel included in the small things that we often overlook. This will also support with improving attendance with students in temporary housing.
