It helps cut down on germs and keeps our workspace fresh.The paper towels and Kleenex are lifesavers during cold/flu season and for quick classroom clean-ups. Students know exactly where to find them and use them responsibly.\r\nI use the white board cleaner and towels daily to keep our board clear and easy to read during lessons. It helps keep instruction smooth and organized.\r\nWe use the broom to sweep up after centers, science activities, and end of the day dismissal to keep the room looking neat. Students even help as part of our classroom jobs.The Air freshener and plug-ins help the classroom smell clean and welcoming, especially after busy days or messy projects. It makes the room feel calm and inviting.\r\n\r\nOverall, these resources have helped create a cleaner, healthier, and more comfortable classroom where students can focus and feel proud of their space.

As a social worker in a high school, I work closely with students who face challenges most people don't see. Some come to school without basic necessities like deodorant, toothpaste, or soap. Your support has helped restore a sense of dignity and confidence to students who truly need it.\r\n\r\nWe've set up a small but accessible area in our office where students can discreetly grab what they need. One moment that really stood out to me was when a student came in asking if we had any deodorant. When I handed it to him, he paused and said, \"Thank God I don't have to keep asking my mom\". It was such a small thing, but it meant everything to him in that moment.\r\n\r\nWhen the supplies first arrived, students were surprised and honestly a little overwhelmed; in a good way. Many asked, \"Who sent all this?\" They couldn't believe that people who didn't even know them would care enough to help. That simple realization that they're not invisible has stayed with them.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making such a real, meaningful impact. What you gave may seem small but to our students, it's a reminder that they matter.","fullyFundedDate":1750256203390,"projectUrl":"project/clean-start-empowering-students-with-co/9178752/","projectTitle":"Clean Start: Empowering Students with Confidence and Care","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lipsey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9970781"},{"teacherId":5542864,"projectId":9282882,"letterContent":"I want to sincerely thank you for your generous donation of a full class set of headphones for my students.

Each student now has the chance to focus at their own pace, whether they are listening to instructional videos, practicing reading fluency, or exploring science simulations.\r\n\r\nThis gift has leveled the playing field for all learners in my classroom. For many students, having access to quality headphones is a small but powerful tool that increases confidence and independence. I've already seen greater focus during lessons and more excitement about learning activities that use technology.\r\n\r\nYour contribution is not just about providing supplies—it's about opening opportunities and creating a supportive learning environment for every child.
