Today, I need your help. As many of you know, I chair the board of directors of BeWell in School, a local nonprofit that empowers schools with self-regulation through movement, mindfulness, and breathing. Our work revolutionizes school wellness and happiness while decreasing disciplinary interventions and improving scholastic outcomes. It is literally life-changing work. This year our board made a major pivot. We saw our school partners struggling with funding due to policy changes post-COVID. Rather than adding expense to the already constrained budgets of underfunded public schools, we committed to covering as many of their BeWell programming costs as we could jointly afford. Our partners still invest heavily through paying teacher salaries, but our team now works to cover other costs by partnering with philanthropic individuals and groups who want to see our schools improve. We have an aggressive goal to raise $100,000 by the end of 2024. Today, I'm asking for your help in meeting this goal. If you want to support an organization that helps students and teachers in a time of great need, then please click the link below and donate what you feel comfortable giving. https://lnkd.in/e4zr7a5A My company, Expedition Group, has committed to a $5,000 investment in this cause, and I'm hoping to find others who want to match that commitment. Who else will rise to the occasion and support this cause with me?

The way to lead with actions not just words.

The "Book On Resumption" is a charitable initiative seeks to raise awareness about the importance of literacy. We mobilize individuals and groups to donate notebooks to children when schools reopen, guaranteeing that every child receives new notebooks regardless of their socio-economic background. Book on Resumption is a non-profit project committed to fostering children's education by providing books to enhance their academic performance and improve learning outcomes The "BookOnResumption" project aims to addresses a very significant issue face by numerous students: the lack of access to notebooks.This obstacle impedes their learning effectiveness, completion of assignments, and full participation in classroom activities. Why??? From the recent inaugural of Book On Resumption in 2023, we assessed that each class of 50 about 30 students do not have complete notebooks which shows that 60% of the students are affected.

The Smithson Public School in Kitchener has had the same playground structure for over 25 years! It is a cornerstone of our community and unfortunately, it is facing imminent closure. This closure will not only deprive the children at Smithson School of a safe and engaging play space but also affect the families in our Rosemount community who rely on the school yard and play structure as one of the few accessible playgrounds. Currently, the playground is being repaired by parents/community members who take it upon themselves to “sneak in” and do small repairs to keep the structure functioning and safe for our children. However, as stated above the current play structure is approaching a state of disrepair, and its closure is inevitable. Our goal is to raise money to replace the playground structure this year. We have been doing our best this past year and have raised a fraction of the needed cost. As you may know these structures are not cheap. We need your help! Every donation, big or small, will make significant impact for us to reach our goal and help the dream of a new playground come true for our Smithson Students! Your consideration means a lot to us. Donation Instructions: You can contribute through the Waterloo Education Foundation Inc (WEFI). https://lnkd.in/gtV9A9np following this step: 1. Please ensure you select Smithson PS 0111 from the drop down under “Apply your donation to a fund set up by this charity”.  2. Please put a comment that your donation is for the playground. Please know that 100% of your donation goes towards the playground. Donations exceeding $5,000 will be acknowledged with a prominent engraving on a commemorative plaque.

In #OssiningNY, 42% of children live in low-income households or below the federal poverty line. More than 15% of families earn less than $35,000 annually, while the cost of living in Ossining is 30% higher than the national average. School budgets primarily focus on essential expenses such as teacher salaries, facilities, and mandated programs. They often lack the flexibility to fund the enrichment opportunities and innovative initiatives desperately needed to support our underserved community. Ossining MATTERS Education Foundation bridges this gap by supporting critical programs and resources that enhance education and provide opportunities many families could not otherwise afford. State funding formulas often fail to address the unique and diverse needs of districts like Ossining. Community support through #donations plays a vital role in leveling the playing field and empowering ALL children to thrive and succeed. 🎁 This holiday season, celebrate your loved ones with a gift that uplifts an entire community and builds a brighter future for us all. Consider donating today. ❤️ Learn more about Ossining MATTERS 👉 www.ossininingmatters.org #OssiningMatters #EducationForAll #GiveBack #MakeADifference #donation #notforprofit
