When they saw the gifts, their eyes lit up, and their joy was undeniable. For children who often face challenges beyond their years, these simple but thoughtful items meant the world. The blankets brought warmth on chilly nights, the teddy bears became new best friends, and the drawing boards and coloring kits gave them a chance to dream and create.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThese gifts were more than just things—they were reminders that someone out there cares about them. They gave my students comfort, hope, and the feeling that they matter. The grab-and-go packs were a fun and uplifting treat they could take home, while the toothbrushes showed them that caring for themselves is just as important as feeling cared for.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nYour kindness has left a mark on their hearts—and mine. You've given my students not just a joyful holiday, but the lasting gift of knowing they are seen, valued, and loved. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for bringing so much light and love into their lives.","fullyFundedDate":1734110582867,"projectUrl":"project/spreading-holiday-joy-gifts-of-care-co/8983953/","projectTitle":"Spreading Holiday Joy: Gifts of Care, Comfort, and Fun","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. S","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9852758_orig.jpg?crop=1236,1236,x485,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1733196019412","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9852758"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_35689","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":212,"numTeachers":16,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":60,"percentIndigenous":3,"percentLatinx":29,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 1","studentTeacherRatio":"13.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":76.5,"schoolId":35689,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Emerson Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Emerson Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/hoquiam-school-district-28/emerson-elementary-school/35689"}
