  • Healthy, Happy, Ready to Learn

    Funded Nov 24, 2025

    Thank you so much for your generosity! Because of your support, we were able to fully restock our student pantry, giving kids access to breakfast bars and snacks whenever they need a boost.

    Your donation also provided us with tissues and Clorox wipes that students can use freely, which is especially helpful as we head into cold season. Keeping our classroom clean and healthy allows everyone to learn comfortably and safely.

    We are truly grateful for your kindness. You're helping create a classroom where students feel cared for, supported, and ready to succeed every day!”

  • Fueling ELA Fun

    Funded Dec 27, 2024

    Thank you so much for supporting our project, Fueling ELA Fun! Your generosity brought more than just resources to our classroom—it brought joy, energy, and motivation to our daily routine.

    In our classroom, we spend a lot of time reading, writing, and doing fun creative activities that keep everyone engaged. Thanks to you, we had the snacks we needed to stay energized and focused throughout the day. Whether it was a quick bite during a brainstorming session or a little pick-me-up in the afternoon, these snacks helped students stay sharp and ready to dive into whatever we're working on.

    Even more importantly, they added moments of enjoyment and helped create a positive, supportive classroom vibe—one where students felt cared for and ready to do their best. Your donation has made that possible, and we are truly grateful.”

  • New Year, New Books!

    Funded Sep 20, 2022

    Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom! With your donations we were able to add a variety of high-interest, "want to read" titles to our library.

    By adding new titles to our library we have reinvigorated our independent reading time. Our class was particularly excited by the Avengers and Minecraft titles. We were also excited to get a copy of "Omar Rising," the sequel to a book we read as a whole class novel.

    Thank you, again, for your incredible support of our reading!”

At a high needs school in Brooklyn, my students face an unimaginable range of challenges on a daily basis. One thing that is constant in their life is school. Each day, these students come to class and try their best, despite any obstacles they may face. It is hard to get students excited about reading when they are faced with dusty, well-loved, vintage titles. We need contemporary, high interest books that students can relate to.
