  • Better Hygiene for All

    Funded Aug 11, 2024

    I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for your generous donations to my classroom project. Your support has made a tremendous difference in the lives of my students. Your kindness and generosity have inspired us all.

    Thank you for your continued interest in our classroom and for believing in the power of education.”

  • De-Stressing Students

    Funded May 22, 2023

    My students and I will use these new resources to help students manage their stress. They will use these tools to support their social emotional learning goals of being aware of their emotions and process them in a healthy way. They will learn strategies to destress!

    The students will be very excited when they see the new boxing gloves. They have been practicing with the first set and are very eager to have new ones. This program continues to be a success at our school thanks to your continued support.

    The next steps for our students to be working on will be personal hygiene. A big part of mental health and well being is having healthy hygiene. Students in our school are adolescents which is a time of change. Our next project will definitely include getting more deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and deodorant.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Usher

  • Box Away Stress!

    Funded Sep 29, 2022

    The new boxing gear has been "a hit" with the students! Many students have had the opportunity to learn boxing combinations and participated in boxing workouts since receiving the supplies from your generous donation. The students have learned how to jab, hook, slip and other boxing techniques as well as respect for the sport. In addition, there has been an obvious decrease in stress for students participating in these moments. They are extremely happy and eager to learn the skills of boxing. When students first saw the new punching bag and gloves, they were so excited to participate. Our next project will definitely be including getting more boxing gloves of varying sizes to fit more students!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Usher

  • Embracing Health and Wellness for Bronx Students!

    Funded Mar 9, 2022

    Thank you so much for your support for this extremely important project. We are so grateful for the kindness you are paying forward to our students. With the stress being at an all time high, students have been able to use their hygiene products to promote positive self esteem. Also, students are able to prioritize their health and wellness using the lotions, wipes, toothbrushes, and deodorant that this project provided. The students were thrilled to be given these hygiene products and felt empowered to be in charge and contributing to their own wellness.

    The next goals for the year include continuing to support students health and wellness.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Usher
