  • The Right Calculation!

    Funded Mar 5, 2013

    Thank you very much for your generous donation to my students. They are delighted with their new calculators and are very excited about what they are learning in math because of your support.

    The students will now be able to take their Integrated Algebra regents and it is all because of your generosity! I am so happy that we share the same vision of supporting our students to reach their true potential.

    My students are unique in that they are taking a high school exam while in the eighth grade. I am very proud of how far they have come and your support has rewarded their dedication. On behalf of my students, thank you!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Figueroa

  • Who Said Math Was Just About Numbers?

    Funded Aug 6, 2011

    I cannot truly express how grateful I am that you have supported our classroom in this great way. At times it is easy for the students to be discouraged with the challenging material presented in a math classroom but the supplies that you have helped purchase are changing that.

    The graphing boards that you purchased have allowed the kids to remain engaged in graphing and learning statistics. It is helping them to present their work neatly and also allowing them a more efficient way of analyzing each others work and correcting any errors. The reusable boards are also greatly saving us on the need to purchase graph paper.

    The art supplies have also been a great encouragement for the students to create great projects and complete in-class tasks that have been put on display around the classroom and in the school's bulletin boards.

    Thank you again for your generous contribution towards improving the learning experience for my students and for those to come.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Figueroa

    This classroom project was brought to life by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Foundation and one other donor.
My kids are inner-city minorities in New York. They do not have lots of positive opportunities surrounding them and for many, our public school provides them with the family-like community they need. Our school, which emphasizes science and mathematics, still likes to showcase creativity- even in the math classroom! We are always trying to tap into a variety of learning styles in order to drive the content home.
