    Thank you so much for funding this extra special project! because of you, I was able to throw my students an amazing valentines day party to celebrate their kindness, hard work and dedication in school!

They were so thrilled to see all of the treats and goodies and be able to enjoy them on this special day! YOU truly helped me give them a celebration that they will never forget!

  • It's Snow Cold Outside! Part 2

    Funded Jan 29, 2025

    Thank you so much for funding this very important project! It has been freezing cold in New York and these packages have arrived just in time to keep my students warm from these frigid temperatures. They have already dug into the healthy snacks this week and they are almost done! Thank you for helping me keep my students warm and cozy and their bellies full and satisfied throughout the long day! Without your care and generosity this would not be possible. You have truly made a difference in the lives of my students and the next generation!”

  • New Classroom Essentials!

    Funded Jan 13, 2025

    Thank you so much donors for bringing this project to life! All of the items have been put to immediate use upon arrival! I have used to the heat press to make personalized drawstring bags for each of my students to use to keep their belongings in on field trips. I have used the permanent vinyl to adhere school labels onto these bags as well as make personalized water bottles for each of my students. The 3 tiered rolling cart has been great to store all of our supplies and make it easily accessible all day! The batteries have been fed to our classroom clocks to help us learn to tell time! Without your help I would not be able to make all of these things for my students possible! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for helping my students! YOU have made such a difference in their lives!”

    Thank you so much to Alex and the Mo & Cher Willems Foundation for bringing this project to life! The items all arrived just in time for our return to school from break and my students were absolutely thrilled to see our classroom filled with brand new books and treats in the new year. I have begun to transform my room into a "starbooks" cafe for them to get excited for reading. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for supporting public school education and my amazing group of learners! You are truly making a difference in our next generation of students!”

  • Tackling Life's Changes

    Funded Nov 21, 2024

    Thank you so much for donating to fund this entire project. The girls in my class are very often in need of these feminine care products. They now have full access to every and anything they need each day. There is enough supplies in the project to hopefully last until the spring and to even allow my students to bring home items as they need. Feminine care is so important especially at this young age. I am so beyond grateful to be able to provide my female students with enough care products to help them feel comfortable and clean all day long. Thank you for helping my students!!!”
