This is truly a gift for the students and will be a core memory for them, as well as their families. \r\n\r\nI fully realize this funding comes from the time and sacrifice of others, and I am truly grateful for your fundraising efforts and all the ways that you help teachers and students succeed. \r\n\r\nWith the money purchased, I was able to purchase the \"nice\" pens for illustrating and a hardback book for each student. Using clipboards, the students will go outside after spring break and write whatever drops into their imaginations. All these brand new and more expensive tools create a feeling of worth and value. You sent the message to our students, \"You are worthy.\" and \"The world values what your words and pictures.\"\r\n\r\nWe are so truly thankful.","fullyFundedDate":1765220775556,"projectUrl":"project/every-child-an-author-and-illustrator/9907473/","projectTitle":"Every Child an Author and Illustrator","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lesher","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4196202_orig.jpg?crop=1647,1647,x11,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1763566735399","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4196202"},{"teacherId":7090804,"projectId":9204478,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity in funding our Putt-Putt Party: Miniature Golfing for Everyone – A Bright Idea!

Your donation made a real impact—not only by making this activity possible, but also by increasing students' enthusiasm for physical education.
