My oldest child is a kindergartener at Hampton but I have been a special ed teacher for 19 years in another district. For many years I taught adult SXI (18-26 yr olds) in a school with very low parent support and participation. I know how hard it can be to want to provide worthwhile opportunities for my students but not have the means to do so unless it was coming out of my own pocket. Adaptive art is so worthwhile. Good luck in your pursuits!

Hello! My name is Ms. Kristi McAllister!

Here is a little more about me…

I am a teacher for the Adult Transition Program and Services (ATPS) at the Dr. John M. Schultz Educational Campus.

I love my students because…

Even though I am the teacher, they have already taught me so much. While on the exterior it may not seem that they have opinions and wants, they most certainly do. I have taken the time to pay very close attention to their movements, eye gazes, facial expressions and body language to understand them and see them for who they are. They each are unique and have beautiful personalities! They are truly a gift.

More about my project…

RCS adult transition program and services (ATPS) students with multiple impairments (SXI) would love the opportunity to attend an art class every week at the Paint a Miracle studio located in downtown Rochester (30 classes this school year).

This opportunity will give students a chance to create art that they can showcase and sell if they so choose.

The main principles of the ATPS is for students to develop independence with the community through community relationships. This program offers the opportunity to create art with the support and accommodations that students to be independent and participate fully within our community.

Paint a Miracle is so thrilled to have our students attend their program, that they have offered a grant for half the cost.

♥ This is where you can help! ♥

Help us match the grant!

Your support will foster independence, community connections, and the opportunity to participate in the community. This will enhance the lives of students in a positive way! Thank you for your consideration!

Any donation is appreciated!

Hello! My name is Ms. Cayla Scharoll!

Here is a little more about me and my students…

I am a teacher for the Adult Transition Program and Services (ATPS) at the Dr. John M. Schultz Educational Campus.

The RCS Adult Transition Program and Services (ATPS) and students with multiple impairments (SXI) would love the opportunity to attend an art class every week at the Paint-A-Miracle studio located in downtown Rochester.

In 2019, the RCS community helped fully funded a same request and allowed our students to attend up to 30 classes that school year!! The students were ECSTATIC!! 

They all had an opportunity to create, showcase, and even sell their art, if they chose to do so!! Every donor that contributed to their joy received a personalized thank you note with their art from outside. THANK YOU!

"Take A Minute" Calm Environment

Hello! My name is Ms. Tracye Schwartz.

I am a Learning Consultant at Adams High School. I am seeking your help to raise enough funds to create a “Take A Minute” Calm Environment Space that is more inviting and serene to accommodate and comfort to students with special needs, 504 and/or IEP, anxiety disorders, or any student struggling with social emotional health while taking assessments or working on projects outside of the classroom.

This is my proposal’s compelling why…

Often times, students with special needs, be it a 504 accommodation plan, an Individualized Education Plan (IEP), Generalized Anxiety Disorder, or any child struggling with his/her social and emotional health seemingly feel more comfortable taking assessments or working on assignments and projects outside of the classroom in a non-traditional, quiet and calm setting.

It is our desire at Adams High School (AHS) to create an environment of tranquillity and quiet to accommodate and comfort this unique population of students.

With the use of alternative seating, study carrels, privacy screens, and an area rug to control noise, we feel these students will be able to cope better with their test anxiety and consequently, improve their assessment performances.

Moreover, students can access the space to receive extra classroom supports, particularly in math and language arts.

♥ This is where you can help! ♥

Help us reach our goal!

Currently, we do not have appropriate furniture to accommodate the amount of students who are accessing the room.

With your support, the following items and furniture will be purchased to create the “Take A Minute” space and provide students with the opportunity to self-regulate, refocus, and reduce stress, anger, and/or anxiety and be fully engaged in the learning process.

Thank you for your consideration!

Any donation is appreciated!

Where Your Donation Goes

  • 12 Desks
  • 12 Chairs
  • 4 Study Carrels
  • 1 package of Privacy Shields
  • 1 Standing Desk
  • 4 Computer Chairs
  • 1 Essential Oil Diffuser and Oils
  • 3rd party payment processing fee
  • Fulfillment labor & materials

Total Project Goal   $3,450

As time progresses, every single student that attends AHS will have participated in the Link Crew program as a freshman and then some of them again as upperclassmen Link Leaders. 

♥ This is where you can help! ♥

Hello! My name is Ms. Morey!

I am a teacher at Rochester Adams High School where I currently teach Robotics, Engineering and Architecture. I am seeking your help to raise enough funds to purchase an AIBO robotic dog.

This is my proposal’s compelling why…

We only have so many resources with the robots we already have. My students are able to program these robots and see how we can control them, but we are not able to see how a robot can learn all by itself. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is going to be a large part of robotics heading into the future and we should have the resources to keep up with this change.

Having the aibo robot will offer us the opportunity to see how an AI robot can work by understanding how it develops over time from its interactions within the classroom. This robot has the AI to learn through its own curiosity from its own experiences, giving the class a good idea of how AI can be used in robotics. 

More about my project…

The AIBO robotic dog is a robot puppy that has the ability to learn from and adapt to its surroundings. It is not only good for learning, but also good for bringing joy to the classroom. It can learn its name, commands, and can even be taught to do tricks. We believe that between the first-hand experience of watching an AI robot grow and having fun while doing so, the benefit the robotics class will receive from aibo is well worth the cost. 

♥ This is where you can help! ♥

Help Rochester Adams Robotics and Engineering students purchase the very first aibo robotic dog and enhance educational learning and lifelong memories!

Your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate $5 or $50. Every little bit helps!! 

Your support will foster innovations ideas, teamwork, community connections, and the opportunity to participate in educational success!! Thank you for your consideration!

♥ Any donation amount is appreciated! ♥


Where Your Donation Goes:

  • aibo robot puppy
  • Pink ball
  • Charging Station (Charging stand, Charging mat)
  • AC adaptor and Power cord
  • 3 year AI cloud service

Hello! My name is Ms. Mallory Molnar

Our students at McGregor elementary absolutely enjoy coming into our art and architecture studios! We want to help keep their excitement intrigued and are seeking your help to raise enough funds to purchase a 6′ X 9′ Shapes and Colors Activity carpet

The Shapes and Colors Activity carpet is ideal for classroom management, organized classroom seating and providing the perfect setting for classroom activities,

This is our proposal’s compelling why…

This learning space will help support the learning for all students, TK-5, at McGregor Elementary!

At every level, we will be using this for critiques to help students reflect and advance their works of arts as well as during demonstrations. For the younger artists, it will help reinforce the learning and relationships of shapes and colors.
Art is SO beneficial to children! Children’s brains are actually designed to learn through play and arts.

♥ This is where you can help ♥

Help us reach our goal!

We are very excited to connect with the community and help our students excel in learning. Thank you for your consideration and your  support to positively impact the education of our McGregor Transitional Kindergarteners through 5th grade!

Thank you for your generous contribution and dedication to making a difference!

First and Foremost – THANK YOU – for taking time to visit my proposal!

Hello! My name is Ms. Christie DeSano

The American Sign Language (ASL) class at Stoney Creek High School provides a unique visually engaging experience for students and having comfortable seating is essential!

To help keep their experience and interest intrigued in ASL, we are seeking your help to raise enough funds to purchase 15 Big Joe Dorm Bean Bag Chairs to help transition classroom furniture to flexible seating.

The Big Joe Dorm Bean Bag Chairs are made with SmartMax Fabric: Tough, stain resistant, water-resistant, and easily cleaned with a damp cloth!

This is our proposal’s compelling why…

In ASL classes, students use visual language as their main mode of communication.

It is essential to have seating that is conducive to this type of environment. This grant is a request to start transitioning classroom furniture to flexible seating.

Flexible seating would allow students to easily move into conversation circles. After surveying each class, flexible seating is something a majority of students feel like would increase their comfort level and ultimately their level of engagement.

♥ This is where you can help ♥

Help us reach our goal!

We are very excited to connect with the community and help our students enjoy and enhance their means of in learning in a very safe and comfortable setting.

Thank you for your consideration and your  support to positively impact the education of our Stoney Creek ASL students today and for many years to come! 

Any donation is appreciated!

I believe in helping the development of our communities especially those individuals who may need some extra help to reach their full potential. I recognize software tools such as BrainPOP may provide opportunities during these challenging times with the COVID distancing and virtual learning requirements. HOWEVER, I would like to share my opinion that I believe individuals with autism are best developed through programs with outdoor activities, focusing on nature and a very high level of interpersonal skill development. When circumstances permit, I encourage you and others doing this work to move away from digital media and move towards live programs and tangible media. Keep up your good intentions!

From the family of Elliott Hoffman - Brain POP books

Hello RCS Community,

My name is Ms. Jenny Wordell.

I am a Special Ed, ASD Teacher Consultant and I am seeking your help to raise enough funds to purchase the BrainPOP and BrainPOP Jr. subscriptions for our teachers to utilize this tool and enhance reading, math, daily living, science, and social studies lessons for our students with Autism!

BrainPOP and BrainPOP Jr. provide an online library of short, easy to digest videos on a variety of topics that are very student friendly!

This is my proposal’s compelling why…

Students with Autism are typically visual learners!

Having access to BrainPOP and BrainPOP Jr. will impact over 40 students in our Autism programs. The program will enhance and support the curriculum concepts with visual support on a daily basis.

This is where you can help!

Please join us in our efforts to help our students with Autism excel visually with BrainPOP!  

This is Where Your Donation Goes

  • BrainPOP and BrainPOP Jr.
    • Annual Teacher Access
  • 3rd party payment processing fee
  • Fulfillment labor & materials

Total Projected Goal   $504

Thank you for your consideration!

Hello! I’m Colleen Mestdagh, Information Literacy Specialist and I’m Lisa Rabaut, Reading Recovery Specialist!

Together we are seeking your help to raise enough funds to enhance literacy and implement the “Bus Book Baskets” program at Brooklands! Your support will also provide our classrooms and library with March Book Madness books to carry out the #classroombookaday challenge!!

We believe literacy is a moral imperative for all! Our school community goals focus not only on high achievements and continuous improvement but also in building a joyful reading culture. 

Supplementing books in all areas of a student’s day sets reading as a priority. Furthermore, books which are “mirror and windows” to children of diverse population will solidify the importance of how a literate life connects us to all humankind! 

♥ This is where you can help! ♥

Help us reach our goal!

With your support, the cost of the materials below to begin the “Bus Book Baskets”, literacy at home and March Book Madness will be covered and most importantly increase literacy initiatives at Brooklands Elementary.

Thank you for your consideration!
