Giving Tuesday

A celebration of our students, Giving Tuesday takes place on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving and is a day when we ask our supporters to make a donation in honor of our students.

All funds raised for Giving Tuesday are then used to build school spirit throughout the year by helping us recognize student milestones and achievements through celebratory events coordinated across all programs, including purchasing gifts during the holiday season.

Enriching our community, events benefit all students and recognize the holidays we celebrate, collective milestones, individual achievements.

Books in our Library

Thanks to the generosity of donors to 2017 Giving Tuesday campaign, we increased our library's collection of braille books for students in our Schermerhorn program and blind and visually impaired children in our preschool program.

Select titles are listed below.

Aesop’s Fables Retold in Verse
Adventures in Color: Hailstones and Halibut Bones
Artemis Fowl
Cats are Cats
DK Braille: Counting
If I Were in Charge of the World and Other Worries
It’s Raining Pigs & Noodles

The Boxcar Children
The Calico Mother Goose Book of Earth, Moon, and Sky
The Very Hungry Caterpillar’s Garden Picnic
Now We Are Six
Who Was Dr. Seuss?

When exploring our library, a Giving Tuesday sticker indicates all books purchased with Giving Tuesday funds. Given the high cost of buying books in braille, we are incredibly grateful to the generous individuals who helped make this possible.
