The button-making machine you funded has become a symbol of motivation, pride, and belonging for our students.\r\n\r\nEach button we create tells a story — a story of growth, effort, and achievement. Students now design and earn personalized buttons for reaching reading milestones, showing improvement in writing, completing independent books, or demonstrating kindness and teamwork. What once was a simple idea to \"make learning visible\" has become a powerful motivator that fuels excitement across the room.\r\n\r\nStudents eagerly check the \"Button Board\" to see whose new design will be added next, and their faces light up when they receive one that celebrates their success. The machine has also inspired creativity — students are using it to design book-themed badges, classroom club buttons, and even literacy event tokens for our Apollo Rockets family.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has done more than fund a project — it has sparked confidence, creativity, and community. On behalf of every student who proudly wears their button each day, thank you for believing in the power of small things to make a big difference.","fullyFundedDate":1760912824639,"projectUrl":"project/rocket-rewards-launching-confidence-and/9818314/","projectTitle":"Rocket Rewards: Launching Confidence and Character","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Martin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10046389"},{"teacherId":3719247,"projectId":9858716,"letterContent":"Dear Donor,\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, my students now have access to quality headphones that make a world of difference in our classroom! Before this project, many of my students struggled to focus during digital lessons because of noise and distractions. Now, with their new headphones, they can fully engage in reading activities, pronunciation practice, and independent learning without interruption.\r\n\r\nThese headphones have created a calmer, more productive environment where every learner can succeed—especially our English Language Learners, who benefit greatly from hearing the correct pronunciation and pacing of language. Students have also shared that they \"feel like real scholars\" when they put on their headphones and dive into their lessons.\r\n\r\nYour support didn't just provide materials—you gave my students confidence, independence, and a sense of pride in their learning. Every day, they are reminded that someone out there believes in their potential.\r\n\r\nFrom all of us at Apollo Middle School, thank you for making a lasting impact on our classroom.
