Back to School and Fern's Birthday

To honor Fern’s birthday (September 4th) and the beginning of the school year, we have been active this month partnering with Donor’s Choose in order to provide help three different classrooms. As part of our desire to help out teachers and students with their back to school experiences, we purchased over $500 in school supplies for a classroom at Martin Luther King School in Wyandanch. Ms. Carrol and her students were extremely excited to receive the pencils, markers, crayons, folders and other organizational supplies for the classroom

We were also able to donate to classrooms at a school in Hempstead and PS 11 in Manhattan. In both classrooms we were able to donate books for children to read in the classroom. Books such as classics by Roald Dahl were purchased, which was special to us, as these were books that Fern truly loved. We hope that these gifts make this school year special for 4th and 5th graders in these classrooms.

PS 174 - First Gift

On March 28, 2014, we helped Mrs. Sonnenberg and her class by purchasing a brand new white board for the classroom. This project was executed by working through another great organization, Donors Choose. Mrs Sonnenberg recently expressed her appreciation

Thank you so much for helping our class receive our new magnetic whiteboard. Words cannot begin to express what an impact your generosity has made on our classroom. This magnetic whiteboard has completely changed our learning landscape and has allowed the children to present and display their work to their peers. The children are now able to do more independent work and I am able to teach lessons with much more ease. The children's academic success has grown tremendously and they have become more enthusiastic about learning thanks to this wonderful resource that you have provided us!

With gratitude,
Mrs. Sonnenberg
