A couple of weeks ago, I told you about a great way to help schools in need while shopping for name brand clothes for your kids at huge savings or donating clothing they have outgrown. Schoola is an online shop dedicated to recycling brand-name children’s clothes, with 40% of the proceeds going to schools in need. The innovative new program – which saves parents money and gives back at the same time – has been heralded by Fox News, the LA Times, Forbes and Parenting Magazine.
In our last post we shared the story of a wonderful school in the Bronx called KIPP Academy that is trying to raise $25,000 to fund their music program. If you want to refresh your memory, you can watch the video below.
About KIPP Academy:
A small school in the Bronx, KIPP Academy works hard to support kids who need all the help they can get. Ninety-five percent of its students qualify for free or reduced-cost lunch. More than one in seven receives special education services. Music helps KIPP Academy reach and engage every child who enters its doors. The slogan on the Music Room wall sets the stage—All of Us Will Learn Music. No matter what backgrounds they come from or what challenges they face, they learn lessons together that will serve them the rest of their lives.
I think this whole idea is so great and helping schools in need, helps our future! My older children were so lucky to go to a school that had great curriculum and extra curricula activities as well as extensive sports programs. The benefit of being able to choose activities, courses and extras that appealed to them enriched their lives so much. I am so grateful that my youngest are entering the same school and that it still has those options available to the students.
