  • Help our Children! School Supplies Needed!

    Funded Aug 15, 2020

    I cannot express how thankful I am for your generosity that you have shown our children over the years! I was so concerned how our students would not have the basic materials to succeed. Hopefully, they will be able to use these supplies at school and at home remote learning. You are a life saver! I didn't know how would be able to purchase all the supplies needed for our children. You have provided them with so much more than basic materials but you also have provided them hopefulness and light in these unsure times.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Finelli

  • Interact, Explore and Discover through STEM and Reading

    On behalf my students and I we want to thank you for your very generous contribution to our classroom. Students will be able to use the materials to participate in hands on activities, learn how to work in teams, explore, discover, question, and will increase curiosity and the love of learning.

    This was like winning the lotto, I jumped up and down from excitiment and knowing that my students will have a head start in learning.”

    Ms. Finelli

    Thank you so much for your very generous donation! You have made an impact on a child’s life. You may think that you just made a contribution, but the statement is true ,“it takes a village to raise a child.”

    I know that because of your contribution, the students of class 224 will greatly benefit and they will know that someone cared about their education. Again thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Finelli

Most of my students come from low income homes and come from different parts of the world. I am hoping to instill the love of reading by exposing them to different genres, cultures, and traditions, including different types of text. This subscription to Times magazine will be so informative, articles and photographs will be child friendly, students will be able to take them home, share with their families and perhaps motivate them to read more about the world they live in and to learn new information. We will use these nonfiction magazines to also learn about text features, use them for research and data. They would be greatly appreciated!
