Project Title: Oasis After-School Academy (ASA)
Project Description:

Oasis respectfully requests $10,000 from the Hermanowski Foundation to support our After-School Academy (ASA). The funds will defray after-school teachers’ salaries, as they provide impoverished children necessary instruction needed not to fall behind or fail out of school. Please note this is an acute need in Paterson. Amidst the pandemic, Paterson School District was remote for the 2020-21 school year, undoing years of academic progress.
For 21 years, our After-School Academy has provided children with highly personalized remedial and enrichment support every weekday from 3:30 pm-6:00 pm. This school year, we serve 100 children–filling the educational gap in math and language arts and providing psychosocial counseling. The participating children arrive at our community center at 3:00 pm from local public elementary schools. Upon arriving at Oasis, children are provided a full nutritious meal.
At 4:00 pm, the children break into classes by grade level to carry out intensive remedial work. We provide two hours of academic instruction for K-7th grade. A professional after-school teacher provides targeted institution that builds on appropriate grade-level skills. The teacher manages academic activities until 5:30 pm. Students generally spend one hour of the classroom time engaged in teacher-directed instruction and the second half on homework or remedial work. (Please note K-2nd grade spends no more than one hour on academics each day.)
On Fridays, students participate in STEAM activities.
We also address adverse childhood experiences associated with poverty. Our dedicated full-time youth social worker, a licensed MSW, offers children individual and group counseling. Our social worker provides daily individualized "check-ins," where students talk about issues troubling them at home or school. In groups, students participate in discussions and hands-on activities based on their needs.
Daily parent pick-up is between 5:45 pm-6:00 pm. Before students depart, they are provided snacks to eat at home.

Total Project Budget: 410,489.42

Project Duration: September 2021-June 2022

Project Title: Roos Wraps Program
Project Description:

The Roos Wraps Program focuses on providing support to medically-
vulnerable or fragile babies through the integration of tummy time to their
physical development using Sweet Dreams Foundation’s Roos Wraps. Roos
Wrap is a 3-in-1 wrap that grows with the baby to support their healthy
development. Also, it is designed by experts to make tummy time, sitting up,
and learning to walk physically and emotionally easier, so that the child feels
strong, independent, and ready to explore. Through this, we aim to raise
awareness on the importance of tummy time as a great way to improve a
child’s physical development, digestion, and balance.
Aside from the direct benefits it gives to babies, the Roos Wrap is also a
great workout tool for moms because it is also a workout garment that allows
adults to exercise with their babies. It is an excellent postpartum exercise for
moms to increase their blood flood, get energized, and strengthen their body
while releasing endorphins that create a state of joy and reduce the chance
of postpartum depression. It is as easy as sliding the tube around their
calves and placing the baby on the legs while securing the baby using the
pouch.
The benefits of the Roos Wrap include, but are not limited, to the following:
Strengthening the head, neck, and trunk muscles of the baby during
tummy time
Facilitating visual tracking and hand-eye coordination of the baby
Creating the baby’s body awareness
Supporting the baby’s ability to sit up
Practicing balance and further supporting the baby’s learning to walk
Creating a bond between the baby and the mother
Aids in proper digestion or prevents indigestion

Total Project Budget: $50 per baby. Our goal is to give Roos Wraps to 500 babies for the holidays in 2021 and to 5,000 babies in 2022.
