Your donations helped provide my students with the basic school supplies they needed to start the year off right—pencils, folders, markers, glue, and more. These materials have made such a difference in our classroom. Each student now has their own chair pocket organizer filled with everything they need to learn and create. We use these supplies every single day during writing, math, and art activities, and the organization has helped our classroom run smoothly and efficiently.\r\n\r\nI will never forget the excitement on my students' faces when they first saw all the brand-new supplies. For some, it was the first time they had their very own set of materials to use and keep at school. They were so proud to organize their chair pockets and couldn't wait to use their new pencils and markers. One student even said, \"Now I can be ready just like everyone else!\"—a moment that warmed my heart and reminded me how meaningful your kindness truly is.\r\n\r\nAs we continue through the school year, my students are putting their supplies to great use. We are currently working on writing projects that focus on building strong sentences and stories, and having their own materials helps them stay focused and confident. These resources have set the tone for a positive, organized, and engaged learning environment. Thank you for giving my students the tools they need to learn, create, and feel successful every day!","fullyFundedDate":1754951779929,"projectUrl":"project/school-supplies-and-incentive-treats/9570020/","projectTitle":"School Supplies and Incentive Treats","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Munds","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9003218_orig.png?crop=800,800,x400,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1729960535145","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9003218"},{"teacherId":9974251,"projectId":9228133,"letterContent":"Thanks to this request being fulfilled, my students now have books that truly light up their love for reading. Graphic novels have given many of them the confidence to see themselves as \"real readers,\" while stories by underrepresented authors have helped children feel seen and valued in powerful ways. Every day I see the joy on their faces as they choose books that speak to them, spark conversations, and inspire their imaginations. These books are helping my students grow not only as readers, but also as empathetic and curious learners who see the world—and themselves—in new and meaningful ways.\r\nWhat has been most special is watching students share these books with one another. They swap favorite graphic novels, recommend stories to friends, and talk excitedly about characters they relate to. For many, reading has shifted from something they \"have to do\" into something they \"get to do.\" This gift has truly created a community of readers in our classroom—one filled with enthusiasm, connection, and a love of stories that will carry with them beyond second grade.","fullyFundedDate":1744290672928,"projectUrl":"project/reading-inspires/9228133/","projectTitle":"Reading Inspires","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Newman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9974251"},{"teacherId":4110704,"projectId":9234269,"letterContent":"I can't thank you enough for your donation or continued support for our class and my students.
