Playground Renovation Fund
Any AmountPlayground Renovation Fund
At HudsonWay Immersion School in Stirling, we strive to provide the best learning environment for our students.
Since our relocation in 2018, we have improved our playground to ensure safety and enjoyment.
We believe there is more we can do to enhance their growth. With your generous donations, we aim to create a nurturing and enriching environment for our students:
- Our goal is to upgrade the playground by replacing higher bars with more appropriate pieces for all students, from pre-K and up**.
- We also hope to add a new apparatus for elementary and middle school-aged students. By expanding our offerings, we can create a holistic learning experience for all students.**
Your support will benefit current and future generations of young learners at HudsonWay Immersion School.
You can:
- Bid on items in our silent and live auctions, proceeds of which will go towards our renovation fund
- Donate monetarily directly to the Playground Renovation Fund by making a pledge
- Write a check payable to HudsonWay Immersion School or, as a charitable donation for tax purposes, to St. Vincent de Paul Church, with a note specifying "HWIS Playground". (Please drop off the check at our school's front office) Further information regarding credit card donations will be announced soon.
*Please note that only checks or credit card donations made to St. Vincent de Paul Church are tax-deductible. You will receive a tax donation letter from the church. We recommend consulting your tax advisor.
**Please note that the final plan for upgrading the playground may be subject to change.
Donors who make monetary gifts toward Playground Renovation Fund in 2024, will be recognized on a donor board in a prominent location on the New Jersey campus!

501(c)(3)
Purpose
To financially support other organizations that provide Spanish or Mandarin language and cultural education for children at the preschool through 8th grade level in the New York City metropolitan area.
Qualifying Organization
Any public, non-profit or for-profit organization or individual in the geographic area noted that provides language and/or cultural educational activities for this age group of children for the specified languages or training in support of these programs. Such organizations could include musical or theater groups, libraries, schools
(especially language immersion programs where a significant portion of the instruction is in the target language) or other programs (like after- school programs) that provide language or cultural education in Mandarin Chinese or Spanish.
Uses of Funds
a. Teacher training.
b. Student scholarships to attend language education schools or programs.
c. Teacher scholarships for coursework or degrees in second language instruction or early childhood or elementary education (since many of the language teachers have training only in language instruction).
d. Artists-in-residence or other musical/visual arts groups to expose the children to the art, music, and culture of Mandarin and Spanish speaking countries.
e. Other Mandarin or Spanish language and cultural programs for children.
Donations can directly benefit HWIS students or teachers but not the
school itself. If you have questions about The Navigator's Fund, please contact Bill Hicks.
