I wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous contributions to our snack cart project and share with you the incredible impact your support has made on our students.\r\n\r\nYour donations have brought our student-led snack cart initiative to life in ways that continue to amaze us. Our students with special needs are using this opportunity to practice essential speech and language goals, develop functional communication skills, and master money concepts while engaging meaningfully with their peers and school staff. The cart has become a bridge that connects our students to the broader community in the most natural and joyful way.\r\n\r\nWhen our students first saw the fully stocked cart, their excitement was contagious. Watching them take ownership of \"their\" business and seeing the pride in their faces as they successfully communicated with customers has been truly remarkable.\r\n\r\nThe inclusive nature of this project has exceeded our expectations. By providing snacks that some students might not otherwise have access to and allowing participation through pretend currency, we've ensured that every student can be part of this meaningful learning experience.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we're excited to expand the program by introducing more complex money transactions and incorporating additional communication goals. Your support has laid the foundation for continued growth in our students' independence and social skills.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and making this transformative project possible. Your generosity creates lasting change in their lives every single day.","photopaths":["https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/digital-gratitude/9746699/tp_4236652.jpeg?width=900&height=836&fit=bounds&auto=webp","https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/digital-gratitude/9746699/tp_4236655.jpeg?width=900&height=836&fit=bounds&auto=webp","https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/digital-gratitude/9746699/tp_4236654.jpeg?width=900&height=836&fit=bounds&auto=webp","https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/digital-gratitude/9746699/tp_4236653.jpeg?width=900&height=836&fit=bounds&auto=webp"]},{"proposalId":9745848,"teacherName":"Mrs. Pena-Velez","teacherPossessiveName":"Mrs. Pena-Velez's","teacherPhoto":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3397190_orig.jpg?crop=2208,2208,x0,y736&width=34&height=34&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755813677308","schoolName":"PS 11 Highbridge School - Annex","city":"New York City","state":"NY","title":"\"Time to Shine: Tools for Organized Learning”","impactNote":"Dear Synchrony,\n\nThank you so much for your generosity and contribution to this project.
