People’s+United+helps+school+projects

In the spirit of giving, People's United Community Foundation, the charitable arm of People’s United Bank, teamed up with DonorsChoose.org to shock Vermont teachers and students by fully funding every classroom project that was requested in the state. One of the charity's was created to assist public school teachers, DonorsChoose.org supply's educators with a venue online to submit classrooms projects that request explanation describing the much-needed school supplies for their students. The public can also flip through the projects and select the ones that they would like to help. People’s United Community Foundation had supplied more than $28,000 to DonorsChoose.org to fund all the classroom projects in Vermont. The total of twenty five projects were funded & reaching more than 1,700 students across the state of Vermont. Edmunds Middle School, Colchester Middle School in Colchester, Ludlow Elementary School in Ludlow, and Elm Hill school in Springfield, and lastly John J. Flynn Elementary School in Burlington. “We already have a very strong focus on STEM education, and it's wonderful to hear that John J. Flynn will be getting 3-D printers, which will give students an opportunity to acquire the 21st century skills. We would hope our gift of classroom materials burn up students’ interested in education throughout the new year and more! People's Unided Comminutg Fondation has partnered with DonorsChoose.org since 2010, giving $450,000 support of creativity in schools districts across People’s United Bank footprint. People’s United Community Foundation was established in 2007 and formed to support & help activities and programs that increase the quality of life for citizens in the communities that People’s United Bank serves.

I think this is really nice and would be useful and helpful for students in each grade. This would be a positive effect on students and staff because the students and the staff are learning to use new things. Also the fact that the Foundation is giving supplies for students and this will affect how students learn and look at things. I personally think it’s a great thing and it's very nice for the school. As they said in the paragraph that John J. Flynn will be getting 3-D printers and it really gives the opportunity for students to learn and discover new things. It's not a bad or negative thing it only changes the way student look at things. They might just look at it a different way. It's also good to request needed materials for school because sometimes a classroom or school needs to have some materials or supplies to use and create more things because students need that opportunity (my opinion). It really makes life easier to know more things when you are younger. It’s great that they helped so many schools and maybe help them in the future with their career. This is my thoughts on how this would affect schools and how it would help in my opinion.
