    Funded Mar 31, 2019

    Thank you to all the donors that were able to make this project a great success for my students. They truly would appreciate the opportunity to use brand new calculators to be able to help them calculate their work. We will put these calculators to great use in the classroom.”

  • Hearing Is Awesome

    Funded Mar 31, 2019

    I wanted to say thank you to all the donations for allowing my students the opportunity of having headphones to use in our classroom. Giving the students an opportunity to hear in an interactive learning environment is an awesome experience for any student. My students and myself are truly greatful.”

  • Our Business Adventure

    Funded Aug 1, 2017

    We are truly grateful for the dononations in allowing my students at Village Academy to ensure that "Our Business Adventure" was a true success by allowing the students to have access to a color printer to print out projects we worked on in our math classroom. This technology has allowed students within my classroom to become more engaged and independent on printing out the necessary materials and images they need for the projects and or math tasks.

    The most rewarding experience was when my students created their own unique business projects. While working on the business project the students had to determine what type of business they would create? Where would there company be located? What statistical questions they would need to survey classmates to narrow down the prototype they would create? They were also asked to create a printed template of all this information, create a PowerPoint and commercial they would then present to the class.

    You can see some of the hard work my students spent on within our class time to ensure there projects were excellent. I would again truly thank my donors for making this a rewarding experience for my students. All of your help if truly appreciated.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Giron

  • Artists In Need of Supplies

    Funded Apr 1, 2017

    Artists In Need of Supplies was a success. My students were very engaged in creating the sand art bottle project. They used all the different sand art colors, the wiggle eyes and feathers to put their unique touch on their sand art bottle that represented thier personality and creativity.

    My students were very excited with all the supplies we received thanks to our generous donors. They were eager to use them to work on different arts and craft ideas and activities within our classroom. However the greatest success was the sand art bottle project where the students were each eager to complete their own and help others within the classroom.

    My next steps with my students is to use the markers, feathers and wiggle eyes to create more hands on and 3-D arts and craft which they can later share with thier family and friends.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Giron

    This classroom project was brought to life by Aspect Ventures and 9 other donors.
With our urban community of Far Rockaway. Our students don't get art class. Our school created a mastery program in which we as teachers can share one of our favorite hobbies with our students. I have always found as a child growing up arts was a way to express my creativity and imagination. It allowed me hands on experiences through sand art, origami, seasonal decorations and just me being able to express my art side. I would like my students to be able to view and have this same experience and find their inner artist. The donations will allow my students to get art supplies Such as glue, paint, paint brushes, color markers and sand art for our classroom and be able to express themselves through the arts and have a different view on learning.
