  • Arts and Crafts Club

    Funded May 16, 2023

    Thank you so much for your generous donation. My students will be able to continue to express their creativity through arts and crafts as well as having a safe space to go after school. I know that I treasure the time i get to spend with this group after school and my students will have the materials to keep creating new items that reflect their individuality.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Piscopo

  • Motivational Rewards

    Funded Nov 4, 2022

    Thank you for your generous donation! You have given my students an opportunity to earn rewards in class and help them stay focused at the same time.

    The students are very interested in earning different rewards, and many of them have worked hard to receive the rewards that take longer to earn. Our students also now have access to charging stations for their phones.

    You might think that high school students wouldn't want to work for something like a sticker, but they really do appreciate them.”

  • Technology Accessories for Mrs. Piscopo's Earth Science Students

    Funded Dec 7, 2021

    Thank you for your generous donations! The technology items that were funded through this project has given my students the ability to work more easily with their school computers.

    Giving every student a mouse has been a huge help in having them complete their digital science notebooks, and the laptop stands allow students to work at the computer without having to slouch. I believe that the mice are my student's favorite because using a track pad on a small laptop is something difficult to do. Some of the assignments they complete in their digital notebooks require them to click and drag object from one location to another, which is much easier to do with a mouse.

    The headphones are going to be able to give my students the ability to choose whether they want to read a text or watch a video, and also not cause a distraction to other students around them. I am very excited to be able to offer this choice, especially for students who may have difficulty with reading comprehension.

    Thank you again for your donations, my students are greatly benefiting from the items I received as part of this donor's choose project!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Piscopo

    This classroom project was brought to life by Con Edison and 7 other donors.
  • Lab Supplies for Ms. L's Earth Science Class

    Funded Nov 24, 2015

    Thank you very much for the donations to our classroom. My students were very excited to receive the materials. The slinkys may be the favorite of the students. They use them to model how different types of earthquake waves move through the Earth. The majority of the supplies purchased for our classroom will be used to enhance students' lab experiences and give them hands on science time.

    When I told my students that they were getting supplies for the classroom they were very excited! They couldn't wait to get the items and also couldn't believe that other people were willing to donate their hard earned money to get supplies for them. We are all grateful for your contributions.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Piscopo

I work in a low income, small, diverse school in New York City where students engage in both vocational training and academic courses. Many of my students perform below average in science, math, and reading. They are a unique group of student, with a great deal potential, from whom I am constantly learning. My goal is to engage science in hands on learning and get them interested in science. By supporting my classroom you can help me help them be engaged in studying science
