Before your donation arrived, \"Do you have an extra pencil?\" was the most common phrase heard in our hallways. Today, that has changed.\r\n\r\nBecause of your gift:\r\n\r\nEvery student started the week prepared. No one had to feel the sting of being the \"kid without a pen.\"\r\n\r\nOur after-school art club has doubled in size. With enough supplies and canvases to go around, students who previously sat on the sidelines are now discovering their voices through painting.\r\n\r\nClassroom morale has shifted. There is a visible spark when a child opens a fresh box of colored pencils. It tells them that someone—even someone they haven't met—believes their work is worth the high-quality tools.\r\n\r\nOne of our sixth-graders spent three hours yesterday meticulously labeling a diagram of the solar system with the new watercolors you provided. She told me, \"I didn't want to mess it up because these colors are so pretty.\" That pride in her work is a direct result of your kindness.\r\n\r\nThank you for being the \"silent partner\" in our classrooms. You've given our students much more than just supplies; you've given them the confidence to create.","fullyFundedDate":1768413412915,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-supplies-and-incentives/10003145/","projectTitle":"Classroom Supplies and Incentives","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Chilson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9516415_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753191343531","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9516415"},{"teacherId":10405724,"projectId":10032320,"letterContent":"Thank you for making it possible for my students to have access to a Bambu Lab A1 Mini 3D printer. Because of your generosity, students will be able to engage in authentic STEM learning by using the engineering design process to solve real-world problems. They will identify challenges, create digital designs, test their ideas through 3D printing, and refine their work based on results. This experience will directly support STEM standards by integrating science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in a meaningful and hands-on way.\r\n\r\nI can't wait for them to work through modeling, designing, and printing 3d models. They will learn real-world engineering challenges, such as when the printer inevitably has a difficulty that we need to fix, or the filament has adhesion issues stemming from moisture absorption. We can work through the frustration of things not working, and eventually I'll be able to see a kid smiling saying \"I made this!\" That will be the best feeling in the world.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students the opportunity to learn, explore, and create.","fullyFundedDate":1768756583187,"projectUrl":"project/3d-printing-and-advanced-3d-modeling/10032320/","projectTitle":"3d Printing and Advanced 3d Modeling","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. White","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10405724"},{"teacherId":8166766,"projectId":9292303,"letterContent":"Thank you for your incredible support of our project, \"Supporting Student Growth Through Social-Emotional Learning.\" Your donation of social-emotional awareness tools, fidget items, and calming corner supplies has provided us with the \"emotional first aid kit\" our students truly need.

Your support has made an incredible difference in our classroom, both in practical and emotional ways. For many of my students, this was their very first experience with a musical instrument, and having high-quality reeds readily available allowed them to focus on developing their skills instead of worrying about whether they could afford the materials they needed. Several students asked, \"Are these really for us?\" and couldn't wait to try them out. \r\n\r\nWith dependable reeds, they're now able to concentrate on the musicality of their pieces instead of the mechanics of sound production. Looking ahead, our next unit involves preparing for our winter concert, where each student will perform in full band settings. Now that they are set up for success with proper reeds, they are taking more ownership of their practice and are eager to share their progress with friends, and family. Your gift was more than a donation; it was a vote of confidence in the future of music education and in each of my students. Thank you for believing in them and giving them the resources they need to grow.","fullyFundedDate":1760103807048,"projectUrl":"project/reed-rescue/9606000/","projectTitle":"Reed Rescue","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rich","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1823603_orig.jpg?crop=490,490,x53,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1591290176070","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/amysue-rich"},{"teacherId":8106648,"projectId":8990869,"letterContent":"We are overflowing with gratitude for your generous support in funding our DonorsChoose project. Your contribution has truly transformed our classroom, and words can hardly express the excitement and appreciation felt by every student and myself. What makes this gift remarkable is how it benefits every single child in our classroom. No longer limited by resources or access, students of all backgrounds and interests now have the chance to try their hand at something new and find their creative voice. Some children are exploring technology and video for the first time, while others are discovering a passion for music or animation they never knew they had. The multi-media center has become a vibrant hub that brings our school community together—kids are inspiring each other, sharing new skills, and building friendships as they collaborate on projects big and small. Thank you, Las Vegas Bowl Team, for investing not just in equipment, but in the hearts, minds, and futures of so many children. Your remarkable generosity will continue to inspire creativity, discovery, and teamwork in our class every single day.
