  • Supporting Mental Health & College Prep with Tools and Tech

    Funded Oct 17, 2024

    I am deeply grateful for your generosity in fully funding my project to provide mental health support tools to my high school seniors. Your support means the world to me and my students, especially as they navigate the challenges of their final year of high school.

    Thanks to your contributions, I will be able to equip my students with essential resources that promote mental health and emotional well-being. These tools will not only help them manage stress and anxiety but also build resilience as they prepare for life beyond graduation. Your belief in this project will make a lasting impact on their lives.

    Thank you again for your kindness and for investing in the future of these incredible young people.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Diggs

  • Hungry for Success

    Funded May 22, 2023

    I would like to extend my sincerest gratitude for your contribution to my students. It may not seem like much, but a small snack between classes can change the course of a student's day. Research demonstrates that children from families who are not sure where their next meal may come from are more likely to have lower math scores and repeat a grade, among other challenges.

    Children need nutrients so they can grow, develop and focus on learning instead of thinking about the food they need. Ultimately, they need to be able to concentrate in the classroom so they can succeed in school and be prepared to enter the workforce as adults. Something as simple as a granola bar can often mean the difference between a student's success in a class. My students were grateful to know that people cared enough to make donations to ensure they could be and do their very best. For that, I thank you. We all thank you.”

  • Food for Thought!

    Funded Jan 15, 2023

    Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity! My students and I genuinely appreciate it. It is important for our children to see community come together in support of one another. Thank you for showing them that their success matters, but more importantly, thank you for showing them that they matter.”

  • Relax, Relate, Release Some Stress

    Funded Mar 21, 2022

    Thank you for your generous donations to the students of MS/HS 223. With your help, we were able to purchase an assortment fidgets and stress release items to support our students' social-emotional and mental health.

    Our upperclassmen (seniors) organized an event for students to select a fidget of their choosing. In addition to the impact this small token will have in supporting their ongoing academic success, it also brought about a moment of joy among our students.

    It is my hope to be able to continue this initiative, providing support of our students' social-emotional and mental health.”

  • Neuroscience: Watching the Brain at Play

    Funded Feb 9, 2022

    I just wanted to reach out and provide you with an update around the work we've done thanks, in no small part, to your generous donation. Our students were really engaged in this lab and associated course of study. In addition to completing the Robo-roach lesson and lab activity in class, our students were selected to represent our school in the New York City Department of Education District 7 Science Fair.

    They placed 1st in that fair and their presentation earned them a spot in the Borough Science Fair which took place in June. Though they did not place in that fair, they did earn honorable mention. It was truly amazing to witness. Thank you again for your contribution to our class project, which has been an amazing investment in our students' interest in science and beyond.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Diggs

Robo-roach is a hands-on experiment in neuroscience that allows the students to perform their own advanced neural interface surgery to remotely control the movement of a cockroach. It is a great way to learn about neural micro-stimulation, sensory and neural adaptation, and electronics. "Learning by doing” is a common theme in an experiential educational environment. That is because when students are engaged with their hands and their minds, they actually are more focused and motivated to learn. The hands-on learning benefits helps children of all ages retain knowledge and grow. The more that children can immerse themselves in, and engage with, their education, the more they will be motivated and take pride in all that they learn.
