Globe Miami Times Connecting you to the Pulse of Globe Miami
Globe, AZ — As the new school year kicks off, more than 40 teachers in the Globe-Miami area are starting strong with fully stocked classrooms, thanks to the Kismet Foundation’s Kismet Klassroom initiative.
Through Amazon Wishlists and direct reimbursements, the nonprofit provided $3,616 in supplies to local educators—helping ease the personal financial burden many teachers face.
“Thank you, Kismet Foundation! Your generous donation means so much to me and my students,” said local teacher Tesha Gonzales.
Board member Erika Flores emphasized the importance of recognizing teachers: “We see you. We value your hard work. Have the BEST year!” Fellow board member Sarah Alexander added, “It was a joy picking out items for your classrooms—we saw so much heart in every wishlist.”
This year’s effort was fueled by the Kismet Summer Movie Program, a six-week series at Hollis Cinema, where the first 100 kids received free admission. Ticket proceeds helped fund the Klassroom project, alongside sponsors including Daisy Flores Law, Pretty Kind Boutique, Dairy Queen, State Farm – Cami Lucero, Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center, and In Memory of Diana Jones.
When teacher needs exceeded expectations, Carlota Mine contributed an additional $2,000, ensuring every participant received support.
“Your support for teachers means the world,” said recipient Colette Schwenk.
The summer series closed with The Smurfs on July 25, wrapping up a season of family fun and community impact.
