Prizes and Privileges for ESL Students

Funded Mar 31, 2023

Thank you so much for the fan, the chair, and the stickers! They were a big hit with my students. You wouldn't think stickers would be so great for motivation with teens, but they love them and it's a visible sign of progress on things like their work. It also allows them to personalize their school possessions, and they use them to decorate their folders, their backpacks, their laptops, and occasionally, me. The chair has served it's place nicely; it gives a place for students who were frustrated to cool down and work solo. The fan has also been helpful, especially lately. On a day when temperatures got as high as 95, on the 6th floor of a building, we were able to keep relatively cool.

The best thing about your gift is that we will be able to use them next year as well, so it keeps on making our lives better. And, in Kensington Philadelphia, you often need that.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Barlow
