As a mom with two children in school, I think it’s important for them to have the best education possible, including extra education through creative programs. As Kelsie is now entering 2nd Grade, I’ve seen her fall in love with art and her creativity has flourished being able to bring them to life in her art, even sculpting in art class at her school. Aubrey was in preschool last year and seeing her excitement for music as well as art made me proud as a mother. With back to school season here, we all are finding ourselves shopping for clothes and supplies.
Schoola is an online shop dedicated to recycling brand-name children’s clothes, with 40% of the proceeds going to schools in need. So while you are shopping for school clothes this year, head over to Schoola and know that you are helping a school in need to save the creative programs we all want our children involved in. I was given the opportunity to pick at a school in need and you can help! I selected KIPP Academy because music means the world to me and my love for it started in school.
KIPP Academy – Goal: $25,000 to fund the music program 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.
For every purchase made through our links in this blog post, $1 will be donated to KIPP Academy. For every person who requests a Schoola donation bag via our links on this post, Schoola will donate $1 to KIPP Academy! PLUS – when you donate the clothes and fill out your school information, $2 of every $5 made will go back to the school they chose to support. Win/win for our featured schools and for your schools! So as you’re working to get that school shopping taken care of, be sure to take a look at Schoola and save money while you shop and help others in need!
