Many of our students come to school early, stay late for tutoring, college application workshops, and extracurricular activities, and these snacks have helped ensure they remain focused and energized throughout the day. One memorable moment was during a senior college application session in the library. Students were working on personal statements and applications after school, and having healthy snacks available helped create a welcoming environment where they could stay engaged and productive without worrying about being hungry.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the snack supplies, they were incredibly appreciative and excited. Several students expressed gratitude, sharing that they had skipped breakfast or would not have another meal until much later in the evening. Knowing that there was something available for them made them feel supported and cared for, which positively impacted both their mood and their ability to concentrate on their work.\r\n\r\nThese resources have become an important part of creating a safe and supportive space for learning. The snacks are used during individual counseling sessions, college and career readiness workshops, study groups, and after-school academic support programs. They help remove a barrier that can distract students from learning and participating fully.","fullyFundedDate":1792617313067,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-keep-us-going/10733797/","projectTitle":"Snacks Keep Us Going...","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dejesus Corporan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9801688_orig.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1733237001474","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9801688"},{"teacherId":3507576,"projectId":10710592,"letterContent":"When I opened the boxes, our Roosevelt High School students' eyes lit up immediately.

As a school counseling department, we use these tools to help students explore college and career pathways, complete postsecondary planning activities, and access personalized resources that support their future goals. The technology has made college and career readiness more engaging, interactive, and accessible for all students.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is having information at their fingertips. They enjoy being able to research colleges, explore careers, complete interest inventories, and learn about opportunities that align with their goals. The technology allows students to take a more active role in planning their futures, which has increased both their engagement and confidence.\r\n\r\nSeveral students who were previously unsure about their postsecondary options have especially embraced these resources. Students who may not have had regular access to college and career planning tools outside of school are now actively exploring pathways, researching scholarships, and building plans for life after high school. We've seen students become more motivated to discuss their goals, ask questions, and take ownership of their next steps.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, our students are gaining valuable skills and knowledge that will help them make informed decisions about their futures.

Rather than relying solely on traditional review methods, students work together to discuss historical events, analyze causes and effects, and make connections between concepts as they play. This hands-on approach encourages critical thinking, communication, and teamwork while helping students build confidence in their understanding of course material.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has helped create a more engaging and interactive classroom experience for our students.

We started the year by organizing our supplies together and setting up clear systems and routines. One especially meaningful moment was when students saw the new materials for the first time—they were immediately engaged, asking questions, volunteering to help set things up, and expressing how \"ready\" and \"organized\" they felt for the school year. That sense of ownership helped set a positive tone right from the beginning.\r\n\r\nThe resources have been especially helpful in keeping students motivated and focused during our daily lessons and group work. We've used them to support goal setting, classroom organization, and reinforcing expectations for learning. Students who typically struggle with organization have shown more independence and pride in keeping track of their work and participating in activities. It has been powerful to see how something as simple as having the right tools at the start of the year can increase confidence and engagement.\r\n\r\nNext, we are building on this strong start by using these materials to support ongoing academic routines and student-led learning goals. Students are working on developing personal goals for the quarter and tracking their progress over time. We are also beginning collaborative projects where they will apply their organizational skills and classroom systems to complete group tasks. This project has truly helped create a foundation for a productive, motivated, and successful school year.","fullyFundedDate":1757683119017,"projectUrl":"project/lets-get-this-year-started/9478725/","projectTitle":"Let's Get This Year Started!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dejesus Corporan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9801688_orig.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1733237001474","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9801688"},{"teacherId":2546866,"projectId":9867595,"letterContent":"Hello, and thank you so much for your generosity and support of our classroom project.

Because of these donated items, we were able to quietly provide them with clean, comfortable pants right away. Within minutes, they were back in class, participating and smiling again. That moment showed just how powerful it is to meet students' basic needs with dignity and care.\r\n\r\nWhen students first learned that these resources were available, there was a sense of relief—especially among those who may worry about \"what if\" situations.
