Our Story
From the very beginning of Loveworthy Notes, the mission has been to get school supplies in the hands of all the kids who need them most, and to provide supplies that solve real problems for adolescent students.
The founder, Ms Angel, served as a math teacher for years in a jr high school. She saw many adolescents struggle with simple tasks, such as bringing a pencil to class, or taking proper notes, which were causing barriers in students' success. She recognized, as many people who caretake adolescents do, that the requirements for children in the middle grades and for high schoolers, are often too much for their development. These "simple tasks" are actually a product of high ordered thinking coming from the pre-frontal cortex of the brain, which doesn't finish developing until a person's late 20's. She knew that providing them some support for executive functioning tasks would allow them to feel less shame, and ease in their academics, as they are freed to focus more on the learning content. The responsibility of providing these tools and systems for kids falls too much on teachers and parents. She knew that learning tools could be better. But product development didn't begin until later, when seeing the needs of pubic schools in developing countries sparked a mission.
In 2016, Angel took a life changing trip to Peru where she joined others in serving schools in need. They built playground equipment, donated hygiene items and school supplies, and improved schools for kids with disabilities. Seeing the lack in public schools in a developing country, she wanted to help. The idea of providing school supplies that would help adolescents overcome barriers to learning, while donating supplies and resources to kids in developing countries, was born. Product development began.
She was then impacted by the mental health crisis among youth, when her teenage nephew committed suicide in 2022. This brought to light the great need for mental health tools for teens. It was then that the mission expanded to provide educational tools that not only support executive function in teens, but also mental health.
We hope to reach parents and students who understand the value of education and the importance of having the right tools and resources to meet children where they are. With a shared vision to make education more accessible to ALL students, the impoverished, the neurodiverse, the struggling, and the advanced, we can make a difference in the lives of students across the globe and help them thrive academically, providing a better future for all.
From the beginning, the mission has been to put the best learning tools in the hands of kids who need it, TWO children at a time. Every time someone buys an exciting new learning supply from our site for THEIR child, money gets donated for the education of a child in a developing country who needs it!
Founder and CEO, Angel Nilsson, was a jr high school math teacher when she took a trip to Peru in 2016 that changed her. She went to help build playgrounds, paint, and donate supplies for children in public schools and schools for children with disabilities. The faces and smiles of those children will forever be with her and the needful condition of those schools motivated her to dedicate her life's working to improving their education.
With her knowledge of the common problems that kids in the US face in their education, she decided to create a solution for them and for the kids in Peru simultaneously. She set out to design supplies that would have innovative features to make being prepared and organized in school simplified for adolescents.
And when anyone makes a purchase they will not only improve the educational experience of their student, but also of a child in a foreign country who needs the extra resources. And so 2 children at a time, through the power of education, we can positively impact the present lives of many and the future of the whole world.
