When the materials first arrived, the students were thrilled-many had never designed something they could actually wear, and seeing their ideas come to life was incredibly empowering. One standout moment was when a student designed a shirt that read, \"Be the reason someone smiles today,\" which led to a thoughtful discussion about how small acts of kindness can make a big impact in our school community. Our next steps include finalizing the designs, printing the shirts, and hosting a \"Kindness Day\" where students will give their creations and reflect-both in writing and in conversation-on what compassion means to them and how they can show it each day.","fullyFundedDate":1762306494595,"projectUrl":"project/compassion-t-shirts/9859987/","projectTitle":"Compassion T-Shirts","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hess","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8521743_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1657411813312","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/misti-hess"},{"teacherId":8521743,"projectId":9509325,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to my food project.
