Your support made a meaningful difference in our recent cardboard shark project and in our students' daily learning experience. Because of your contribution, we were able to purchase essential supplies such as paper tape, which became the foundation of our cardboard sharks. This allowed students to build stronger structures and ultimately create much larger, more detailed sharks than would have otherwise been possible. The excitement and pride students felt seeing their ideas come to life was truly rewarding.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the washable markers you helped provide have been a wonderful resource. Students have enjoyed using them during downtime for coloring pages, which gives them a chance to relax, reset, and express their creativity in a calm way. These moments have been especially valuable for supporting focus and well-being throughout the school day.\r\n\r\nYour generosity directly enriched our classroom environment and empowered students to explore creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving in hands-on ways. We are deeply grateful for your support and for believing in our students and their learning experiences. Thank you again for making such a positive impact.","fullyFundedDate":1760837307393,"projectUrl":"project/cardboard-shark-supplies/9839737/","projectTitle":"Cardboard Shark Supplies!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. D","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10055164"},{"teacherId":1299384,"projectId":9270586,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping provide each of my students with a clip folder.\r\n\r\nWe've been using them for reflective notes, allowing students to think about and capture what they most want to remember from each topic they've learned.\r\n\r\nMy students were impressed by how easy the clip folders are to use!
