  • Headset and Ready to Learn!

    Funded Sep 20, 2023

    Thank you for choosing to help fund my project "Headset and Ready to Learn!"

    As you know things have been uneasy after the pandemic. So much loss has occurred. Especially in the school system.

    Ever since we came back into the school building, I have noticed that most students are 1 to 2 levels below where they should be. It's not their fault. So much time went by and being remote doesn't allow the benefits of live learning.

    Lastly, now that we are back in the school my students are elated that we know we have headphones for every student that comes into the computer lab, thanks to you. Students can now work on lessons individually to suit their own needs.

    Thank you for the blessings you have given us.....”

  • Power to Learn and Stay Fully Charged

    Funded Sep 21, 2022

    There are no words to describe what your generous donation did for my computer lab. Ever since the pandemic started, our students became technological experts within a very short time. They had no choice...we had no choice either.

    Each child received either a Chromebook or an iPad to learn from home. However, some were given a charger and others weren't. I don't know all the details. What I do know, is that my students are able to come to the lab to charge their devices when needed. This was possible because of you.

    Thank you for believing in our children and supporting them.”

  • 3D Printed: Your Ideas Become Reality

    Funded Sep 29, 2022

    There are no words to describe the impact you have made within my technology lab. My students only know to print in relation to something on a piece of paper. Now, with your help, you opened up a new window.

    Having 3D printers will allow students to use their imaginations to create endless possibilities. Our first project was to print a fidget spinner keychain. This was a sample template to help us get started.

    The children were amazed and watched the whole printing process for 20 minutes. They were talking among themselves about things they might want to sketch out to print.

    This is an adventure not only for my students but me as well. Please see our pictures of the keychain process with my third-grade students.”

  • A Voice to be Heard....

    Funded Dec 30, 2021

    There are not enough words to express the gratitude we feel at P.S. 272 for your generous support. As you already know COVID has had a huge impact on everyone, especially the children. However, being able to come back to school and having materials to work with, is a true blessing.

    Technology is everything today. My students were so excited to express themselves during our morning show using the "DJ mics" which makes them feel like they are in a recording studio. They have been taking pictures of everyday events, as well as the upcoming graduation ceremonies.

    Thank you for being part of a dream come true!”

  • Tools for Technology

    Funded Aug 13, 2021

    There are not enough words to express the gratitude for your generous donations. Without your help, coming back to work without technology, would have been a nightmare. Why? I am the computer technology teacher and my lab was depleted of all laptops, due to COVID.

    My school is mostly low income households and we are a title one school. Technology, unfortunately is hard to come by for my students. In order for them to be remote we had to give out my lab equipment.

    However, I was blessed to be funded for a classroom/ teacher iPad. Thanks to your generous donations. This gift allows me to work with small groups of students as they work along, using there personal iPads.

    Thank you for going the extra mile to help our future. Be safe.”

    My school is mostly low income households and we are a title one school. Technology, unfortunately is hard to come by for my students. In order for them to be remote we had to give out my lab equipment.

    However, I was blessed to be funded for 8 iPads thanks to your generous donations. This allowed me to work with the small groups of students, that came back into the building for in person learning.

    Thank you for going the extra mile to help our future. Be safe.”

  • Room Tidy+Seat Tidy= Happy Teacher

    Funded Dec 4, 2019

    Thank you for believing in my project and giving my students the tools to help them stay, focused and organized.

    Being that I teach computer technology to grades K-5, I see over 250 students a week in my lab. I see each class for a 55 minute time- slot. This is the reason I asked for help to get seat organizers.

    Having these seat organizers give the students a sense of responsibility. The students keep their belongings in a safe place, while using the computers. Now, this eliminates the issues of missing property and unwanted arguments.

    We are beyond grateful for your contribution to our project. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Quaranto

The socioeconomic background in our school is middle to lower income students; therefore, some of them cannot afford a computer. My classroom is where they learn the skills to utilize the computer and hopefully, these skills will help them in the future. As you know, the technology era is here. I think my students deserve a fair education. A good way to do this is by having an inviting classroom where they feel comfortable and eager to learn; however, there is limited funding and only so much I can do. I am asking you for help in making a dream come true! I would like to see my students using the latest technology to do research for the upcoming state exams. They have so many questions and not all the answers. Wouldn't it be nice hearing them talk to Siri on the iPad to find out? Or doing a search for their unanswered questions? Our children deserve a fair chance in education and you can help be part of it. How great would that be?
