Your donations made it possible for our fourth grade students to experience the joy of helping others in a very meaningful way.\r\n\r\nStudents first participated in an empathy activity that helped them understand how difficult it can be to learn without the supplies they need. They then put that understanding into action by sorting and packing donated supplies into backpacks for students in grades K through 12. Knowing that these backpacks would go to families in our own school community made the experience especially meaningful for our students.\r\n\r\nSeeing the students work together to help others was a wonderful reminder that even young students can make a big difference. We are truly grateful for your generosity and for giving our students the opportunity to learn the importance of kindness, empathy, and service.","fullyFundedDate":1792686124567,"projectUrl":"project/empathy-in-action-through-the-back-to-sc/10744947/","projectTitle":"Empathy in Action Through the Back to School Bash","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Klobucar","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1713915_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1477160478658","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jennifer-klobucar"},{"teacherId":2913430,"projectId":10724741,"letterContent":"My students and I are using these resources to make our classroom a place where everyone feels comfortable, cared for, and ready to learn.

Because of this project, students have received backpacks, gym bags, school supplies, and other essential items that help them feel prepared and confident as they begin the school year.\r\n\r\nOne of the most rewarding parts of the Back to School Bash is seeing the excitement when students receive their items. A new backpack or gym bag is more than something to carry schoolwork or gym clothes. For a student, it can create a sense of pride and belonging. Having new supplies can also help students walk into the classroom feeling ready to participate rather than worrying about what they may be missing.\r\n\r\nThe supplies from this project are being used throughout the school year. Notebooks, folders, pencils, paper, pens, and other materials are part of students' everyday learning. Backpacks and gym bags help students organize and transport their belongings, while cold weather items help students stay comfortable during arrival, dismissal, recess, and bus rides.\r\n\r\nThe impact goes beyond providing supplies. Many of our students come from families experiencing financial hardship, and the cost of preparing children for school can add significant stress. By helping meet these basic needs, the Back to School Bash helps remove barriers that can affect students' comfort, confidence, focus, and participation.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, this project sends a powerful message to our students: their school community cares about them and wants them to succeed. When students have the supplies they need and feel prepared for the day, they are better able to focus on learning, participate with confidence, and enjoy being part of the school community.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping make this possible. Your generosity is not only providing backpacks and school supplies; it is helping students feel cared for, supported, and ready to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1791071686201,"projectUrl":"project/providing-warmth-and-supplies-for-back-t/10714221/","projectTitle":"Providing Warmth and Supplies for Back to School Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Klobucar","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1713915_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1477160478658","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jennifer-klobucar"},{"teacherId":2915205,"projectId":9696304,"letterContent":"This project gives our students the opportunity to honor veterans in our community through music, creativity, and service. Students will take an active role in learning songs, practicing together, and performing during our Veterans Day program, using Boomwhackers and egg shakers to add rhythm, energy, and excitement to their performance.\r\nThe project also allows students to create personalized thank-you cards and capture special moments from the celebration. These thoughtful touches help students understand that honoring veterans is more than performing a song—it is about showing genuine gratitude for the sacrifices and service of others.\r\nThe impact reaches both our students and the veterans we celebrate. Students build confidence, teamwork, musical skills, and an understanding of community service, while veterans and their families experience a heartfelt expression of appreciation from the next generation. This project reminds our students that their voices, creativity, and kindness can make a difference in the lives of others.","fullyFundedDate":1761071288119,"projectUrl":"project/community-kindness-through-music/9696304/","projectTitle":"Community Kindness Through Music","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Gillott","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2915205"},{"teacherId":2915205,"projectId":10026980,"letterContent":"The Caring Corner has become a meaningful school-wide resource designed to help students feel cared for, confident, and ready to learn. By providing access to everyday essentials such as hygiene products, toiletry bags, snacks, tissues, and school supplies, this project helps remove small but important barriers that can distract students from learning.\r\n\r\nThe colorful sequin backdrops will transform a spare room into a welcoming space while also providing privacy so students can access supplies without embarrassment. The rolling cart will make it possible to organize, restock, and transport supplies throughout the building, ensuring that students across all grade levels can benefit from this resource.\r\n\r\nThe impact goes beyond the items themselves.

Through our school-wide Care Project, students will help organize, maintain, and distribute comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing to classmates who need it, creating a supportive resource that serves students throughout the entire school.\r\n\r\nThe project teaches students that service is not just something adults provide—it is something they can lead. As students sort clothing, create labels and signs, organize supplies, and help maintain a welcoming space, they develop empathy, responsibility, teamwork, and leadership skills while making a tangible difference for their peers.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, this project helps ensure that students can come to school feeling comfortable, included, and ready to learn. A clean sweatshirt, a pair of pants, or weather-appropriate clothing may seem like a small thing, but for a child who needs it, it can provide confidence, dignity, and a sense of belonging. This project is helping our students build a school culture where we take care of one another.","fullyFundedDate":1771525638165,"projectUrl":"project/the-care-project/10087438/","projectTitle":"The Care Project","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mencer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7150117"},{"teacherId":7150117,"projectId":9890347,"letterContent":"This student-led project has given our students an authentic opportunity to practice kindness and serve members of their local community.

Students are developing teamwork, creativity, problem-solving, communication, and empathy while seeing firsthand how their work can brighten someone else's day. The storage containers and shelving will help students organize their creations throughout the printing process, while the memory card will allow us to document their service and share their efforts with the community.\r\n\r\nUltimately, this project empowers students to recognize that they have the ability to make a difference.
