This can be due to a number of things: financial insecurity, trauma in the home, and at times just the fallibility of teenagers. \r\nI work to make sure that when they enter the classroom, their needs are met and they have those necessary resources and supplies. Something as simple as pencils, erasers, and folders makes an immense impact on the organization and accessibility of my courses. \r\nYour donation helps my students to come to school and shed the worry of lacking supplies. They can enter the class and know that the tools they need to learn are right there and ready for them, so thank you.","fullyFundedDate":1742909977090,"projectUrl":"project/end-of-the-year-essentials/9180825/","projectTitle":"End of the Year Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Reichelt","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9587183_orig.jpg?crop=2217,2217,x241,y1048&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720554846447","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9587183"},{"teacherId":5659509,"projectId":7661518,"letterContent":"Thank you for funding this great project after our school year started.
