Please help my students plant store!
Hi everyone! Please delete if not allowed! Thank you so much for reading and contributing if you can!!
I am a teacher who teaches at John F. Kennedy Junior school, a local Queens high school that services students with disabilities ages 14 through 22. My students are all non verbal older children with severe epilepsy or autism. All of my students are children of immigrant families whose parents work several jobs. As you know, special education is under attack in this country. We are having a huge spring fair next month! Each class is hosting a booth in our annual spring fair and my class is selling plants! All of our proceeds are going directly to the school, to students who can’t afford materials or students who can’t afford prom or graduation or trips, or for services to support our families. We are VERY limited in funding at the moment, so we don’t have the resources to buy sufficient amount of soil, pots or cuttings for the students and I to “build” the plants from the cuttings we have. I have created an Amazon wishlist full of soil and perlite and other materials that my class needs in hopes that members of the community can contribute. If you’d be so kind as to share this Amazon wish list or to purchase a bag of soil or perlite. It will be sent directly to the John F Kennedy jr school. Alternatively, you can send some to the John F Kennedy school directly using my name!
Please mark your calendars for the fair itself, it is a massive event where we sell a ton of stuff and have lovely games and it’s just a wonderful thing to do for the day. This year is the 50th anniversary fair so it’s gonna be even bigger and better. The event is on May 14 and 15!!
