Thank you so much for your support!

My name is Diego Paixão, father of Wagner (Vah - gner ) Paixão a first grader at PS 174.

Last school-year, Wagner had a difficult time transitioning into kindergarten and was often removed from the classroom.

One Friday, he was sent to the library where Chess Club was taking place. There, he found something that he didn't know he was looking for: Wagner immediately took interest, and was instantly welcomed with warm hearts. He continued to play weekly until the end of the school year.

He looked forward to playing chess in school this year - but it just.. ended.

Unfortunately, the Chess Club is no longer offered at PS 174. This upsetting loss underscores the need to not only protect but expand our enrichment school programs.

If you agree, then let's make a move, and let's donate!
