Gilda’s Club – Laura Butrus, a special needs teacher with the Egg Harbor Township School District, is the director of the EHT Eagle Greenery, a working flower shop. Her special needs students create, sell and market flower arrangements at the high school. The advanced floral students travel to Gilda's Club, a support community (named after Gilda Radner) for people living with cancer. The students teach Gilda's Club members about the art of floral design.

What’s Blooming – Second graders at Euclid Elementary School in Hasbrouck Heights pair with kindergartners as planting buddies for the year. In addition to planting grass seeds and bulbs, they share books related to indoor gardening. This program is funded through the NJEA Frederick L. Hipp Foundation for Excellence in Education.

Seaview Dolphin – Linda Dunn, the school secretary at Seaview Elementary School in Linwood, makes a difference at her school through projects like this one. A toy dolphin named Seaview has traveled around the world in the company of students who return to write and illustrate stories about their adventures.

Global Visions & Voices – Students at New Egypt Primary School combine visual art with music and movement to provoke an awareness that prepares them for life in an intercultural world. This project is the result of a grant named in honor of former NJEA President, Edie Fulton. The project includes the creation of curriculum kits about specific countries. Using the kits, students will create artwork based on a world culture and be able to identify artwork from visuals and artifacts while learning the basic elements of art and design.
