Monthly Classroom Project

Pencil Donation from Created Kind Shop

Little Known Help Zone received the most exciting donation from Created Kind Shop, hundred of gorgeous pencils!

These pencils said “I Am Strong,” which is such a kind message to give to students. We were graciously donated 35 5 packs of these pencils, and the packs are perfect to donate during our monthly classroom project.

This was such an exciting contribution to our project, and we’re so excited to share the kiddos with their pencils.

Monthly Classroom Project

Ludlow Elementary Classroom Visit

April 8, 2019April 8, 2019 Makenna Lenover

Right before Spring Break, Little Known Help Zone will be donating to Ludlow Elementary school as part of our monthly classroom project. This has been in motion since March, for our March school, and is finally coming to fruition this April.

Ludlow is located in Old Kensington, Philadelphia, and is a Philadelphia School District Public School. Ludlower serves approximately 400 students in grades Pre-K through 8th grade. Seventy two percent of Ludlow students are African American, twenty one percent are Latino, two percent is Asian, one percent Caucasian, and four percent are multicultural. Twenty seven percent of our students receive special education services.

This was a great school for LKHZ, and we are donating to not 1, but three classrooms! This includes a 5th grade, 3rd grade, and 2nd grade class! Some items include pencils, notebooks, craft supplies, and cleaning supplies. These are essential for the school’s success, and many people often forget that even near the end of the year, classroom supplies is needed.

Stay tuned for photos and information about the visit next week!

Fundraising, My Community

Fundraiser Cause #2- Guatemala

September 23, 2014May 26, 2018 Makenna Lenover

The next cause that Little Known Help Zone will be raising money for is Mayan Families in Guatemala.

Specifically, we will be raising money to send a Guatemalan child to school for a year. For $360, a child can attend school for one year and further their education to move on in life and support their families.

Little Known Help Zone will be selling erasers and pencil toppers at $1 a piece to benefit these students, and hopefully enough money will be raised to send a child to school! Stay tuned for more!
