Set up a shop, share it with friends and family, and help us raise funds for our school. 50% of every order comes right back to Amber.

Shops are open June 8–12. Every bag makes a difference 💛

The best part of Staff Appreciation Week? Hearing it straight from our students! We asked our Kingsbridge Middle School students who they wanted to honor for Staff Appreciation & why - and their reasons say everything about our staff.

What our students described isn't unique to one classroom or one campus. It's the standard across Amber. From East Harlem to Inwood to Kingsbridge Elementary and Kingsbridge Middle, our educators and staff show up every day with the kind of care that shapes who our kids become, not just what they learn.

To every teacher, paraprofessional, counselor, custodian, and staff member across the network: thank you for the moments that make Amber feel like home. 💛
