Thanks to your kindness, my students now have access to knitting machines, pom-pom makers, disinfectant wipes, and plastic bags—materials that are already making a meaningful difference in our classroom.\r\nWith the knitting machines and pom-pom makers, students are learning valuable hands-on skills such as creativity, patience, and problem-solving. My students were eager to learn something new and enjoyed helping each other out. They were excited to design and create projects together, and many are especially proud to be making items that can bring warmth and comfort to others.\r\nThe disinfectant wipes and plastic bags have also been incredibly helpful in maintaining a clean, organized, and healthy learning environment. These supplies allow us to safely manage materials and promote good hygiene habits, which we all know is especially important during cold and flu season.\r\nYour generosity has not only provided us with tools, but also with opportunities—for creativity, collaboration, and care for our community.

The carpet has quickly become the heart of our classroom—a place where students come together to share ideas, listen to one another, and build a strong sense of community. It also helps create a structured and organized learning environment that supports focus, engagement, and positive behavior.\r\n\r\nMy students are so excited to use this new space, and it has already made a noticeable impact on their enthusiasm for learning.

Because of your kindness, we were able to reach and support 200 families with essential items that make daily life a little easier.\r\n\r\nThanks to your contribution, families walked away with everyday necessities—things many of us might take for granted, but that others may struggle to access on a regular basis. These included personal care items, household essentials, hygiene products, and other daily-use goods that truly make a difference in helping families feel seen, supported, and valued.\r\n\r\nThe gratitude expressed by those who came through our doors was overwhelming. Parents and guardians left with not just full bags, but full hearts—relieved to have one less burden to carry. For many, these items helped bridge a gap, allowing them to focus their limited resources on other important needs such as rent, groceries, school supplies, or gas for work. You helped create breathing room during a time when so many families are doing their best just to get by.\r\n\r\nYour support has done more than provide physical goods—it has uplifted spirits and reminded families that they are not alone. You've reminded our community that there are people out there who care deeply, who are willing to step in and help lighten the load.\r\n\r\nThis effort would not have been possible without people like you who choose to invest in the well-being of others. Every donation—big or small—was a piece of the bigger picture that came together to create something truly meaningful. Together, we made a tangible, compassionate impact. That kind of generosity is powerful, and it matters more than you know.\r\n\r\nAs a teacher and advocate for families and children, I believe that kindness and community can be powerful tools for change. This experience reminded all of us that even in difficult times, people show up. People give. People care. And you, dear donor, are one of those incredible people.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart—thank you. Thank you for choosing to be part of this mission. Thank you for believing in the power of community. And thank you for showing our students and their families that help, hope, and heart are still very much alive in this world.\r\n\r\nWith sincere gratitude,\r\nCrystal Aylor\r\nTeacher & Community Advocate","fullyFundedDate":1742953853669,"projectUrl":"project/reach-franklin/9163325/","projectTitle":"Reach Franklin","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Aylor","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9448325_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753136024986","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9448325"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_22229","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":679,"numTeachers":51,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":27,"percentBlack":43,"percentWhite":12,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":8,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":71.8,"schoolId":22229,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Franklin Magnet Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Franklin Magnet Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/syracuse-city-school-district/franklin-magnet-school-arts/22229"}
