Color Paper for Targeted Instruction!
Funded Aug 24, 2025It is with great amounts of gratitude that I share this message with you. This donation of color paper will last the entire year and support developing student skills in specific learning goals.

Instant Photography for High School Seniors!
Funded Dec 3, 2024Our students loved experiencing instant photography! It was a joyful experience for them to have control of the instant camera and use it it express themselves during their closing semester of their senior year.
First, we used the cameras in their home room class. It was a mini project for them to share one photo to express how they feel at the end of their senior year, and then they got to keep other photos for themselves (just for fun).
Then, we used the cameras on our school's first field day! They got to take photos of the soccer and basketball games and fun activities.
Students loved the photos and the experience brought them so much joy.”

Funded Aug 25, 2024We are so grateful to receive the donations to our classroom.
First of all, tissues are the most luxurious item in a classroom. Students feel comforted and cared for when there is a steady stream of tissues.
Secondly, the prizes have been a great motivator for first period on time attendance and for group efforts. The favorite pizza have been the drawing materials.
Finally, the beads have been great for celebrations and days where we have activities. Students love making bracelets for their friends.
The mural happens in May, so more updates on that soon ☺️
We are so grateful for your contributions to our class.”

Ramen for Community Building!
Funded Mar 17, 2024Another senior year complete and another group of young adults are off to determine their own futures.
Ramen Fridays was a huge success! We hosted 6 Friday ramen events, where seniors took on different roles in the ramen making.
Some did the preparation of the tables, others cooked the ramen, while others set the tone with music or movies.
Seniors got to share memories, spread love and connect with each other over ramen. Sometimes there were discussion prompts, but mostly they just got to relax and build community together in the final months of their high school phase.
Thank you so much for your support of this experience. We had a great time and hope to do it again next year ‼️‼️”

Funded Mar 17, 2023We are ever grateful for your contribution to our a Kingsbridge Armory Youth Forum back in March of 2023.
Students from 6 different schools met with city council representative and development leaders to discuss their ideas for the Armory redevelopment. We also got to take an exclusive trip inside the Armory as you can see our groups photo attached.
Your gifts provided sanitary supplies and nourishment for our event and supported making the experience memorable for our youth!
We remember your contribution as schools don't always have the resources to send students out to see the Civic processes as they are unfolding.
We hope this experience with your support will encourage our youth to stay involved with democratic decision-making as they grow into their adulthood.”

Seniors Tie Dye
Funded Nov 16, 2022We adored the Tie Dye Project! Seniors had a blast creating spiral and scrunch designs, and putting their vision to the fabric.
Almost every senior participated in the experience! We got to spend a day down in the science lab making a loving colorful mess of the space. Seniors got to make a shirt for themselves and a friend.
Because it was around Winter Break, the students got to bring a shirt home right before break and develop the colors over the long week.
Since then, Seniors have been wearing their shirts. Each time someone comes in with theirs on, everyone talks about how fun it was and how they want to do it again.
We can't thank you enough for giving us the opportunity to do something joyful and something that the whole grade could experience together.”
