This school year has been overwhelming for me as a teacher because everything was new: new school, new grade, new role, new curriculum, new new new! The support you gave to me and my classroom helped ease so much stress that I have no control over-- supplies! Working in a NYC public school, you never know what you might get and what you might not. I feel so lucky to have a community around me that was able to come in and fill the gaps (that sadly the school district cannot or will not supply). \r\n\r\nMy students are mainstreamed into the Gen ed population and so they require a lot of supports and differentiation of curriculum.

These resources have made lessons more engaging, accessible, and personalized, especially for students with diverse learning needs.\r\n\r\nThe donation has also given my students the chance to practice important life and academic skills using interactive platforms that reinforce independence and confidence. Instead of relying solely on paper-based materials, students can now access videos, games, and digital activities that allow for immediate feedback and deeper understanding.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, the donation has helped close learning gaps by providing resources that meet students where they are—whether that's supporting early literacy, strengthening self-regulation, or practicing daily living skills.
