Our classroom was a barren, blank slate full of endless wonder and possibilities but due to our lack of funding for these types of resources, we were unbale to previous attain them.

Classroom Supplies for Exceptional Learners
Funded Sep 10, 2024Thank you so very much for your kindness in funding our class project.

This classroom project was brought to life by The Gates Foundation and one other donor.Headphones for Exceptional Needs Scholars!
Funded Aug 14, 2024With the utmost gratitude, Class 6 O, thanks you endlessly for your selfless contribution to our class project. By thing funding our class project, we were able to receive headphones to complete our digital work on.
The vast majority of our work is digital and computer based. It was so difficult to complete our work - competing with loud sounds from our classmates computers, without headphones. In our special needs class, we have students who are particularly sensitive to sound and this has help them focus. We are no longer unfocused while using the computers and each student has their own, personal headset. This created a great environment for autonomy and hygiene.
Without YOU this project would not have been possible and we thank you for your investment in our lives, future, and education. YOU are AMAZING! From the bottom of our hearts, we love and thank you.”

Seeds for Change: A Plant Lifecycle Experience for Special Needs
Funded May 9, 2024Thank you so much for your exceptionally kind and generous contribution to funding our class project. My students have been able to explore the world of science by learning about seeds - from beginning to end.

Warm Winter Wishes for All Students!
Funded Dec 22, 2023With deepest gratitude, we thank you for your kindness and generosity in contributing to our class project. Without your thoughtfulness, the completion of this incredible project would not have been a possibility. We thank you for your investment in our future.
The winter months in New York are cold and the majority of my students did not have any appropriate winter gear - coming to school with cold. By the funding of this project, my student AND their siblings were able to receive warm winter gear and remain safe, happy, and warm! It has made all the difference, especially for the students who walk to and from school on cold days.
When they were given their winter gear, their eyes lit up and I could sense comfort in them knowing they would have such a resource available to them. YOU have changed their lives. Thank you for all you have done...”
