I was thrilled to receive the news that the \"Support the Athletes!\" project was fully funded, and I can't wait to share with you the impact it is already having on the students at my school. Before receiving these materials, some students would not have a drink or snack to eat or drink during their after school sports practice. The students have lunch early in the morning and by the time they go to their afterschool sport practice, they are thirsty and hungry. The drinks and snacks will give them energy to get through their practice session. Your support provided the students with the snacks and drink mix and it is greatly appreciated. \r\nThis project has had a significant impact on their energy level for their sports practices. \r\n There are so students that do not have the funds at home to purchase extra snacks and drinks for practice. The funding has truly helped them mentally and emotionally because they can all have a snack and drink for practice and not feel ashamed or low on energy. \r\nThank you again for your incredible generosity. Your contribution has directly helped to create more engaging and energic students during their practice time for their chosen sport. My students and myself feel so blessed to be part of a community that values public education as much as you do.\r\n\r\nWith gratitude,\r\n\r\nTeresa Hutto\r\nSpecial Education Teacher\r\nGuinyard Butler Middle School","fullyFundedDate":1763137865444,"projectUrl":"project/support-the-athletes/9492018/","projectTitle":"Support The Athletes","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hutto","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9774206_orig.jpg?crop=1200,1200,x0,y200&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1739564368391","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9774206"},{"teacherId":8851828,"projectId":9268659,"letterContent":"Because of your generous heart and holiday spirit, Santa's Little Helpers brought joy, warmth, and wonder to children across our community this Christmas.

Students gather in small groups with visual supports, magnetic clips, and erasable boards to track their thinking. Some read aloud with partners, others explore books independently in cozy corners.
