Thanks to your kindness, we now have a supply of snacks for my students, and while that may seem like a small thing, it truly makes a world of difference in our day-to-day learning environment.\r\nIn my classroom, I strive to create a space where every student feels cared for, supported, and ready to learn. One of the biggest challenges some of my students face is simply being able to focus throughout the day. Many come to school eager to grow and achieve, but hunger can make learning so much harder. When a child's stomach is empty, it's difficult for them to concentrate on reading, solving math problems, or participating in class discussions. That's where your generosity has stepped in to fill a real need.\r\nThe snacks you helped provide aren't just food — they are a source of comfort, stability, and energy for my students. When a student can quietly grab a healthy snack, it allows them to reset and refocus without feeling embarrassed or singled out. This simple act of meeting a basic need shows my students that they are valued and cared for, not only by me but by people outside of our classroom who believe in them.\r\nAlready, I've seen the difference your support is making. There's a new sense of calm and focus during our lessons. Students who were once distracted or tired are now more engaged and ready to participate. They know that there's always something there to help them get through the day. It has created a sense of security and belonging that extends far beyond snack time.\r\nYour generosity also sends a powerful message to my students: that their education matters and that there are people out there cheering them on. Many of my students don't always have the chance to see how much the community cares about them, and your kindness has shown them that they are not alone in their journey. This lesson — that they are seen, supported, and worth investing in — is just as important as anything we teach in the classroom.\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for making this possible. Your donation has helped me create a more positive and nurturing classroom environment. It has eased my worries as a teacher, knowing that I can meet my students' needs more fully, and it has brought joy to my students in a way that words can hardly capture.\r\nPlease know that your gift will continue to have an impact every single day as my students learn and grow. You've made a lasting difference in their lives, and I couldn't be more grateful to have your support.","fullyFundedDate":1755724039068,"projectUrl":"project/food-for-knowledge/9417798/","projectTitle":"Food for Knowledge","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Tomlinson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2113127_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720533245870","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2113127"},{"teacherId":2113127,"projectId":9192660,"letterContent":"Your donation has allowed me to use the resources my students need to do our Orton Gillingham Phonics program in an organized and meaningful way.

I hope this letter conveys the immense gratitude we feel for your generosity. Your contributions have brought into our first-grade classroom, sparking a world of creativity and discovery for our young learners.\r\n\r\nThese building materials have been a wonderful addition to our classroom in so many ways. During structured learning activities, students use them to explore concepts like shapes, patterns, and engineering principles. But their value doesn't stop there—on days when the weather keeps us indoors, these materials have been a game-changer during recess. They keep my students engaged, creative, and happy even when they can't go outside to play.\r\n\r\nI've seen students collaborate to build towers taller than themselves, brainstorm solutions to create stable bridges, and let their imaginations run wild in designing cities and castles. It's amazing to watch them problem-solve, communicate, and take pride in their creations.\r\n\r\nYour thoughtful contributions have transformed indoor recess from a challenge into an opportunity for growth and fun. More importantly, you've helped foster a love for learning and creativity that my students will carry with them for years to come.\r\n\r\nThank you for making such a meaningful difference in our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1721582625779,"projectUrl":"project/ms-steeles-building-project/8475945/","projectTitle":"Ms. Steele’s Building Project","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Steele","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9580025"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_3394","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":511,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":92,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":52,"percentWhite":16,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":19,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"18.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":62.0,"schoolId":3394,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about H.D.
