Your generosity means more to me than words can express, and I am truly grateful to have you as part of my life and my school community. Knowing that my students and I are supported by someone who genuinely cares makes a lasting impact on our days.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, my students have absolutely loved the new toys and snacks. The toys have become meaningful tools in our classroom, not only bringing joy but also serving as choices for social-emotional learning and positive reinforcement. They help students practice self-regulation, decision-making, and teamwork while feeling proud of their positive choices. The snacks have also been such a blessing, especially on days when students come to school without one—I am thankful I am able to make sure no child goes without.\r\n\r\nYour support helps make our PBIS system successful by reinforcing positive behavior and creating a classroom environment where students feel safe, cared for, and motivated to do their best. I am so grateful for you and the difference you continue to make in the lives of my students and in my heart. Thank you for being such a meaningful part of our journey. 💛","fullyFundedDate":1759961067211,"projectUrl":"project/new-to-kindergarten/9691546/","projectTitle":"New to Kindergarten","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jara","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9077730_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757173442167","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9077730"},{"teacherId":4825520,"projectId":9439818,"letterContent":"First grade students are just learning to read and most are naturally drawn toward fiction books.
