Thank you first of all for your generosity toward my students. We are using this resource for moments when students are thirsty and in need of water. You might not know, but the portal that students are learning, does not contain a water fountain, so to have a way to provide this with cold water to drink is beyond awesome. They can be so aggressive when it comes to getting water to drink. They always say this is colder. So thank you for that. \r\n\r\nWhen my student first saw this ice maker, their first question was \"is that ours, do we have to give it back?\" It gave me a chuckle and I explain to them how we came about getting this ice machine. They were like, WOW! So, again you generosity is overly appreciated to the highest power. What a joy to have this in the room. It is really coming in handy now since it is cold and the heater is blasting and it makes us all thirsty.","fullyFundedDate":1755727509080,"projectUrl":"project/look-at-this-hydration-equals-stamina/9528293/","projectTitle":"Look at This: Hydration Equals Stamina","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mary D Thompson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp54261_orig.jpg?crop=1859,1859,x987,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1731097069501","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/54261"},{"teacherId":54261,"projectId":9485832,"letterContent":"With a heavy heart, I sincerely thank you for donating to our project.
