As a teacher, you quickly realize that many students carry quiet burdens with them throughout the school day that others may never fully see or understand. For some students, access to hygiene and personal care essentials may not always be consistent outside of school, and many students feel embarrassed or uncomfortable asking for help when they need these items.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, my students will now have access to a wellness cart filled with important hygiene and comfort essentials in a safe, discreet, and judgment-free way. Having access to items such as feminine hygiene products, disposable toothbrushes, floss picks, tissues, stain remover wipes, and other personal care items can make an incredible difference in helping students feel comfortable, confident, and prepared throughout the school day. These may seem like small things, but for many middle school students, they can have a major impact on self-esteem, emotional comfort, and overall well-being.\r\n\r\nMany of my students receive special education support services and benefit greatly from environments that help them feel safe, supported, and cared for. When students are worried about basic personal needs, it becomes much harder to fully focus on learning, participate in class, and feel confident around their peers. This wellness cart will help remove some of those quiet barriers so students can spend less time worrying and more time focusing on their growth, learning, and success.\r\n\r\nMore than anything, I want my students to know that they are cared for and supported every time they walk into our classroom. I cannot wait for them to see the wellness cart and know that they will always have access to resources that help them feel more confident and comfortable throughout the day. Thank you again to the Sonic Foundation for your kindness, compassion, and generosity. Your support is helping create a classroom environment built on dignity, care, and encouragement, and I know it will have a lasting impact on my students.","photopaths":["https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/digital-gratitude/10277762/tp_4686820.png?width=900&height=836&fit=bounds&auto=webp","https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/digital-gratitude/10277762/tp_4686819.png?width=900&height=836&fit=bounds&auto=webp","https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/digital-gratitude/10277762/tp_4686821.png?width=900&height=836&fit=bounds&auto=webp"]},{"proposalId":10270448,"teacherName":"Ms. Pingsterhaus","teacherPossessiveName":"Ms. Pingsterhaus'","teacherPhoto":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5935306_orig.jpg?width=34&height=34&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1575056561334","schoolName":"Woodland Acres Middle School","city":"Houston","state":"TX","title":"The Manga Must Go On!","impactNote":"Dear SONIC Drive-In,\n\nThank you so much for your incredibly generous donation!

Your gift is helping us create a collection that celebrates the many cultures and languages represented in our school community. These books are more than stories—they are opportunities for students to see themselves reflected in literature and to connect with experiences beyond their own.\r\n\r\nMany people love books but may not realize how much learning can happen through them. These new texts help students develop literacy skills, vocabulary, comprehension, and critical thinking. They also support language acquisition for multilingual learners and encourage all students to build empathy, cultural awareness, and global perspectives. Having access to books in students' home languages strengthens reading confidence and helps foster a lifelong love of reading.\r\n\r\nReading in our library looks different for every student. Some students are curled up with a book that reminds them of home, while others are exploring stories and cultures that are new to them. Students read independently, share recommendations with friends, discuss favorite characters, and often discover that stories transcend language barriers. We strive to create a welcoming environment where students can read for pleasure, curiosity, and personal growth.\r\n\r\nSeveral students have been especially excited about these new books. Our multilingual learners are thrilled to find books in languages they speak at home, and many have expressed how meaningful it is to see their languages represented on our shelves. Students who are studying world languages have also enjoyed exploring texts in languages they are learning. It has been wonderful to watch students eagerly recommend books to one another and experience the joy of finding stories that speak to them personally.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping us provide books that affirm students' identities, broaden perspectives, and inspire a love of reading. Your generosity is making a meaningful difference in the lives of our students.","photopaths":["https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/digital-gratitude/10269273/tp_4764479.jpg?width=900&height=836&fit=bounds&auto=webp","https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/digital-gratitude/10269273/tp_4764477.jpg?width=900&height=836&fit=bounds&auto=webp","https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/digital-gratitude/10269273/tp_4764478.jpg?width=900&height=836&fit=bounds&auto=webp"]},{"proposalId":10268485,"teacherName":"Mrs. Grayson","teacherPossessiveName":"Mrs. Grayson's","teacherPhoto":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7074559_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=34&height=34&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1657683335985","schoolName":"Macon - Hall Elementary School","city":"Cordova","state":"TN","title":"A Fresh Start: Clean, Organized, and Ready to Learn","impactNote":"Dear SONIC Drive-In,\n\nThank you, SONIC Foundation, for helping create a clean, organized learning environment where my students can focus, feel comfortable, and succeed every day!\r\n\r\nThank you, SONIC Foundation, for investing in my students and helping me provide the best possible classroom experience for them!","photopaths":["https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/digital-gratitude/10268485/tp_4727698.jpeg?width=900&height=836&fit=bounds&auto=webp","https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/digital-gratitude/10268485/tp_4727699.jpeg?width=900&height=836&fit=bounds&auto=webp","https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/digital-gratitude/10268485/tp_4770970.jpeg?width=900&height=836&fit=bounds&auto=webp","https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/digital-gratitude/10268485/tp_4770968.jpeg?width=900&height=836&fit=bounds&auto=webp","https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/digital-gratitude/10268485/tp_4770969.jpeg?width=900&height=836&fit=bounds&auto=webp"]},{"proposalId":10268356,"teacherName":"Mrs. Gathof","teacherPossessiveName":"Mrs. Gathof's","teacherPhoto":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10070866_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=34&height=34&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752504297556","schoolName":"Sumiton Elementary School","city":"Sumiton","state":"AL","title":"Scientist at Work","impactNote":"Dear SONIC Drive-In,\n\nThank you so much for the support in our project Scientist at work.

Thank you to SONIC Foundation for supporting our classroom and helping create an environment where students can learn, explore, and grow successfully each day.","photopaths":["https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/digital-gratitude/10255572/tp_4705070.jpeg?width=900&height=836&fit=bounds&auto=webp","https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/digital-gratitude/10255572/tp_4705069.jpeg?width=900&height=836&fit=bounds&auto=webp","https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/digital-gratitude/10255572/tp_4705071.jpeg?width=900&height=836&fit=bounds&auto=webp"]},{"proposalId":10255151,"teacherName":"Ms. Bea Rice","teacherPossessiveName":"Ms. Bea Rice's","teacherPhoto":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9061381_orig.png?crop=500,500,x702,y0&width=34&height=34&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1780973036718","schoolName":"Guerrero Thompson Elementary School","city":"Austin","state":"TX","title":"Teacher Appreciation Week: E-O-Y Fun","impactNote":"Dear SONIC Drive-In,\n\nThis project had a meaningful impact on my students’ learning by helping us maintain engagement, structure, and positive behavior during a naturally high-energy end-of-year transition. The materials supported both academic wrap-up activities and essential soft skills like self-regulation, cooperation, and focus.\r\n\r\nBecause of these resources, I was able to keep students actively participating in learning while also providing appropriate sensory and creative outlets that reduced disruptions and supported smoother transitions. The coloring books helped students stay calm and focused during independent work, while the squishies and light-up rings were especially helpful for students who needed sensory breaks to reset and return to learning tasks. The bubble wands encouraged outdoor cooperative play, reinforcing teamwork and communication in a joyful way.\r\n\r\nWe are especially grateful to the SONIC Foundation for their support, which helped make these experiences possible. Their contribution directly enhanced our ability to create a positive, memorable, and supportive learning environment at the end of our school year.","photopaths":["https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/digital-gratitude/10255151/tp_4738859.jpeg?width=900&height=836&fit=bounds&auto=webp","https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/digital-gratitude/10255151/tp_4738858.jpeg?width=900&height=836&fit=bounds&auto=webp","https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/digital-gratitude/10255151/tp_4738860.jpeg?width=900&height=836&fit=bounds&auto=webp"]},{"proposalId":10252884,"teacherName":"Mrs. Kauffman","teacherPossessiveName":"Mrs. Kauffman's","teacherPhoto":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9340148_orig.jpg?crop=649,649,x0,y2&width=34&height=34&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1698173080496","schoolName":"Clara Brown Entrepreneurial Academy","city":"Aurora","state":"CO","title":"Hands-On Math and Literacy Learning","impactNote":"Dear SONIC Drive-In,\n\nYour generosity will go a long way toward helping me provide my students with engaging, multimodal instruction.
