Seeds in the Middle started from an idea germinated over months between a tenacious reporter, a veteran principal who served underprivileged students and their loved ones for three decades and his dedicated staff, colleagues, children and families. It has since grown to encompass the first Hip2B Healthy School at Public School 221 in Crown Heights. We are immensely grateful to all these generous supporters, donors, sponsor or advisors who donated time, talent, resources, cash, gifts or something else. All selflessly gave to benefit those less fortunate and to inspire sustainable, happy change. Some did not even know who we were when first approached, but nonetheless took a leap of faith with us to help our next generation.
Thank you.
