Each item from our DonorsChoose project has truly made a positive impact on our daily routines, creativity, and organization.\r\n\r\nThe criss-cross chair swivel base has made flexible seating easier and more comfortable, allowing students to move while staying focused during learning. Our Crayola Super Tip markers and wood craft sticks have become favorites during art and STEM projects, helping students express their creativity and build hands-on designs. The letter tray organizer, desktop organizer, and desk calendar have helped me maintain a more structured and efficient classroom space, making it easier for students to find materials and stay on task.\r\n\r\nOur BIC Gelocity pens, BIC black gel pens, Sharpie highlighters, and BIC permanent markers have provided students with reliable, high-quality writing tools that make note-taking and project work more engaging and colorful. The inspirational word search and Disney word search book have been great for early finishers, encouraging positive thinking and literacy in a fun way. The OMG I'm So Board activity book for teens has been a hit for mindfulness breaks and building social-emotional skills.\r\n\r\nFinally, the meme stickers, Stitch stickers, and Bluey stickers have brought smiles to everyone's faces! Students love earning them as rewards and using them to decorate their folders and journals—they've become small but meaningful motivators in our classroom community.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has helped create a more organized, inspiring, and joyful environment for all of us.
