Seeing so many students in all grade levels decked out in their class colors was amazing! The school spirit during that week was phenomenal to see! \r\n\r\nThe members of Link Crew were so excited to help open the boxes when we received the merchandise! We were able to purchase things that have never been seen in our school, such as class color crowns and sashes, and the excitement of being a part of something new was fun! Link Crew is an amazing opportunity for upperclassmen to partner with underclassmen to help them feel welcome in our school, and the new merchandise was such an exciting way to build relationships and school spirit. \r\n\r\nThe next step for our club is to host a study party for 9th graders to help them study for their first high school final exams. We have used these funds to purchase supplies for this study party. This is one of the biggest events of the year at our school and we are so thankful for the funds to put it on!","fullyFundedDate":1755820683641,"projectUrl":"project/leaders-in-action/9576562/","projectTitle":"Leaders in Action","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hertz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2795785_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754944577395","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/dhertz"},{"teacherId":9251312,"projectId":8669298,"letterContent":"I want to extend our deepest gratitude for your generous contribution to \"Give our Students and Community a Public Voice!\".
