Testimonials
Mrs. Cabrera
We are very grateful for the donation of gift cards. Old Town Elementary is a Dual Language campus but not Title 1 therefore we do not receive extra funding to support our students individual needs as they arise. This donation will allow me to purchase school supplies that families are not able to provide. Collaborating with Schoolmela has been a wonderful experience and makes my job as the counselor that much easier. We appreciate you!

On behalf of your friends at Union Hill Elementary, we wish to extend our sincerest gratitude for the school supplies youve given us! Our students and staff are beyond excited for the amazing headphones and our teachers are super thrilled to be able to offer supplies for our students and families who struggle. This is one last thing for them to worry about thanks to Schoolmela. I just want to humbly thank you, again, for your contribution to our Union Hill Community. We just appreciate your thoughtfulness and would love to work with you again in the future!

Our school may be in an affluent, suburban school district, but we have a high percentage of low-income and homeless students, which makes getting enough school supplies to support their learning can be a challenge. Schoolmela was able to lift that burden from students, their families, and teachers by providing a full set of school supplies for every single classroom on our campus. They even provided gift cards for us to share with families to help them with needs outside of the school setting. which is such a blessing that will further benefit our students. Thank you, Schoolmela, for your generous partnership with our school!

I have been involved in Schoolmela activities since I was a small child and after seeing the smiles Schoolmela brought to adopted schools, I feel motivated to work harder and spread more happiness.
