  • Fuel Their Learning: Support Snacks for Our After-School Spanish Club!

    Funded Mar 24, 2025

    I cannot thank you enough for your generosity and kindness in supporting my Spanish Club students! Your contributions will provide them with nourishing snacks, helping them stay focused, energized, and engaged as they explore language and culture in a welcoming and enriching space.

    For many of my students, Spanish Club is more than just an after-school activity—it’s a place where they connect with their heritage, build confidence in their multilingual abilities, and create lasting friendships. Thanks to you, they will have the fuel they need to fully participate in storytelling, creative projects, and collaborative learning experiences.

    Your support makes a meaningful difference in their academic and personal growth. On behalf of my students and myself—thank you for believing in them and in the power of education!”

  • Seeking Nutritious Snacks for My ENL Students

    Funded Dec 31, 2024

    I hope this note finds you well! I am writing with heartfelt gratitude to thank you for your generous donation to my DonorsChoose project, Seeking Nutritious Snacks for My ENL Students.

    Your support means the world to my students, who are not only navigating the challenges of learning a new language but also adapting to life in temporary housing. Providing them with healthy snacks is more than just nourishment—it’s a source of comfort, energy, and focus that empowers them to engage fully in their education.

    Thanks to your kindness, my classroom is now a place where students can feel cared for and supported, both academically and personally. Your contribution is making a meaningful difference in their learning journey and their lives.

    From the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in my students and for helping to create an environment where they can thrive.”

  • From Phonics to Reading Textbooks

    Funded Oct 4, 2024

    I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for your generous donation towards the purchase of phonics textbooks for my ENL students. Your support has made a significant difference in the lives of these young learners, many of whom are currently living in shelters and face daily challenges beyond the classroom.

    Learning English is key to opening doors for these students, and your contribution has helped provide them with essential resources to build their language skills. The phonics textbooks you helped fund are not just books; they are tools of empowerment, giving my students a chance to improve their reading and communication skills, which will set them on a path to a brighter future.

    Your generosity has brought hope and opportunity into their lives, and for that, we are incredibly grateful. Every page they turn brings them closer to unlocking their potential, and we could not have done this without your help.

    Thank you for believing in them and for making a lasting impact.”

  • iPad Chargers

    Funded Nov 29, 2023

    Thank you for all your support! It's much appreciated. Technology is used as an extra tool to help students have access to reading materials at home. Our school has iPads to give students, but no chargers were left. So, providing the students with a charger allows them to keep an iPad at home to practice their reading skills via the Raz-Kids platform. The students love this reading program because they can listen to the story, play interactive games, and complete online reading comprehension homework assignments. The students are familiar with this technology since they practice reading using the Raz-Kids online platform during their reading period. Again, thank you for your generous donations.”

  • ENL Classroom Library

    Funded Feb 15, 2024

    Thank you so much for taking the time today and making a donation. As a teacher in an underfunded New York City Public School, getting my students the needed resources has always been challenging. However, with your support, I can provide my students with the educational tools for them to succeed at this school. Again, I appreciate all of your support.”
