They are helping our young adult learners develop practical skills that support greater independence at home, at work, and in their communities. Through these resources, learners are exploring important topics such as managing money, building healthy relationships, practicing good hygiene, making responsible decisions, and preparing for employment. These lessons provide opportunities to connect what we learn in the classroom to real-life situations our learners experience every day.\r\n\r\nOne of the most valuable parts of this project is that these resources help our learners build confidence while developing skills they will use throughout adulthood. Whether they are learning how to manage a budget, communicate professionally, or make safe and healthy choices, each lesson is another step toward greater independence. We are incredibly grateful to our donors for providing resources that recognize the importance of preparing young adults with disabilities for meaningful, fulfilling lives beyond the classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1785424797613,"projectUrl":"project/building-skills-for-life-and-work/10355717/","projectTitle":"Building Skills for Life and Work","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Williams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5027022_orig.jpg?crop=1075,1075,x0,y46&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1782507645512","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5027022"},{"teacherId":10521056,"projectId":10314126,"letterContent":"The first two days of LEGO Club at East Valley High School have been even better than I could have hoped for! It has been exciting to see students come in ready to build, create, laugh, and work together in a way that feels different from a typical school day. The LEGO sets and building materials have given students a chance to express their creativity, try new things, and connect with classmates over a shared interest. The feedback from students has been overwhelmingly positive, and it has been great to see how quickly the club has become a place where students feel comfortable, engaged, and excited to participate. What started as an idea to give students another way to connect at school is already turning into something special.\r\n\r\nThe impact has been so positive that our school administration is excited about the program and wants to explore ways to expand it to include more students. My initial class filled up, which was a great problem to have and a clear sign that students are looking for opportunities like this. Looking ahead, I hope to give students the chance to take on bigger collaborative builds, develop their teamwork and problem-solving skills, and eventually work together to create a model of East Valley High School. I am incredibly grateful to the donors who helped make this possible. Your generosity has done more than provide LEGO bricks; it has helped create a space where students can build friendships, feel a stronger connection to their school, and have fun learning alongside one another. Thank you for believing in this idea and investing in our students. Seeing how much joy and enthusiasm these first two club days have brought to our school has already made this project worthwhile, and I am excited to see what our students build next.","fullyFundedDate":1780878726596,"projectUrl":"project/evhs-lego-club-building-community-throu/10314126/","projectTitle":"EVHS LEGO Club: Building Community Through Hands-On Collaboration","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Sarratori","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10521056_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1780675715398","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10521056"},{"teacherId":4579997,"projectId":10151599,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting the \"Fueling Futures: Snacks for College & Career Planning\" project at EVHS!! Your generosity has had a meaningful impact on our students. The snacks you provided have helped create a welcoming and supportive counseling environment where students feel comfortable coming in to explore their futures. Students regularly use these resources during college and career planning sessions as they work on applications, build resumes, research career pathways, and complete financial aid and scholarship materials, allowing them to stay longer and fully engage in this important work.\r\n\r\nOne clear example of this impact has been during FAFSA and scholarship check-in sessions. Students have been able to stay longer in my office, remain focused, and complete important steps they might not have finished in a single sitting. When students first saw the snacks, they were excited and appreciative, and many shared that it made the space feel more welcoming and supportive. That simple reaction reflects how something small can help students feel seen, cared for, and more comfortable seeking help and guidance.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, students are continuing to work through key milestones such as committing to college, finalizing financial aid documents, applying for scholarships, and exploring career pathways and post-secondary training options. Because of your support, students are able to stay engaged in this process with fewer barriers, build confidence in their decision-making, and take meaningful steps toward life after high school. We are truly grateful for your partnership in helping support both their immediate needs and their future success.","fullyFundedDate":1775324332038,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-futures-snacks-for-college-ca/10151599/","projectTitle":"Fueling Futures: Snacks for College & Career Planning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Valdez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4579997_orig.jpg?crop=312,312,x273,y179&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1659466818732","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4579997"},{"teacherId":2982171,"projectId":10252469,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom through DonorsChoose. Your generosity has helped create a more welcoming, organized, and functional space for the students and families I serve as an IEP case manager.\r\n\r\nThe table you provided has already become an important gathering place where I can meet one-on-one with students to work on goals, practice skills, problem-solve challenges, and build meaningful relationships in a comfortable setting. Having a dedicated space for these conversations helps students feel supported, respected, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThe lamp has also made a wonderful difference in the atmosphere of the room. Soft lighting creates a calmer and more inviting environment, which is especially beneficial for students who may feel overwhelmed or anxious in brighter classroom settings. Small touches like this help students feel safe and at ease during meetings and instruction.\r\n\r\nThe bulletin board paper will allow me to create durable, organized displays that support student learning, communication, schedules, and celebrations throughout the year.

Whether we're practicing math facts, building sentences, or learning life skills, the board gives every student — no matter their learning style — a way to participate.\r\n\r\nFor my students who benefit from visual supports and hands-on activities, this tool has made learning more accessible and fun.
