My Students

Our school is located in a part of New York City where income inequality is impossible to miss. Only a five minute walk separates million dollar homes from community food lines. Our school families were also hit hard by the Covid-19 crisis and many can use assistance with basics including school supplies for the new year.

Our students are resilient and they dream as high and as far as anyone.

They are artists and poets and scientists. With generous donations they will always have the materials they need to succeed.

My Project

Remember that great feeling of getting your new backpack, extra sharp pencils, and all the supplies you needed to start a new school year? Please help our students in need have that experience by helping us stock our back to school event where students will be able to choose a backpack and fill it with pencils, colored pencils, pencil case, pencil sharpener, notebook, and glue sticks.

Whether working in the classroom or doing homework, our students will have the supplies they need to write a beautiful poem or sketch out an invention that can change the world!

There's no exaggeration in saying that kids' ideas can take them anywhere. Please help us get these materials to our students so they can start their journey! Thanks so much for considering our project!
