As a counselor, my work heavily relies on supporting students well being. With your donations, students have access to the tools and resources needed in order to support them socially and emotionally. \r\n\r\nCreating a safe space is my main priority, I want students to feel welcomed, joyful, and supported when they walk into my space. Students go through so many emotions through the day, having a space that provides them relaxation and even a snack goes a long way in supporting them through their day. \r\n\r\nA child cannot learn if they are feeling hungry, sad, or frustrated. Your donation will help many students at Burbank Elementary and I am highly appreciative for the high level of support from fellow educators and the community.

The snacks have already become an important part of our daily routine, helping students stay focused, energized, and ready to learn. We use snack time strategically during longer learning blocks and testing days, and I've noticed that students are better able to concentrate and participate after having something to eat. One special moment that stood out was during a small-group reading lesson, when students who often struggle to stay engaged were able to remain focused and actively contribute after snack time.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new vacuum and boxes of snacks, their reactions were priceless. They were excited, surprised, and immediately full of questions. Several students cheered when they realized the snacks were for them, and many commented on how happy it made them feel to know people cared about their classroom. The vacuum was also a big hit! Students proudly volunteered to help keep the room clean, taking ownership of their learning space in a way I hadn't seen before.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, our next steps include continuing to build positive classroom routines that support both learning and responsibility. Students will use the snacks to fuel focused work during upcoming lessons, while the vacuum helps us maintain a clean, welcoming environment for hands-on projects and collaborative activities. Your generosity has made a meaningful difference in our classroom, and my students truly feel supported. Thank you for helping create a space where they can learn, grow, and succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1764123894875,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-the-future/9725676/","projectTitle":"Fueling the Future","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Martinez Jr","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5421802_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1535057747501","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5421802"},{"teacherId":9398239,"projectId":9743677,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the incredible gift of flexible seating and our beautiful new carpet!
