Your support made it possible for us to have essential supplies like tissues and wipes, helping us maintain a clean and healthy learning environment. We were also able to add new reading buckets and colorful chair covers that have truly transformed our space. The bright, organized classroom has brought so much joy and excitement to my students—they love walking into a room that feels welcoming and special. These additions have not only improved the look of our classroom but have also encouraged students to take pride in their learning space. It's amazing how something as simple as a pop of color or a new reading bin can motivate young learners to engage more deeply in their studies. Your kindness and generosity have made a real difference in our day-to-day experience. Thank you for believing in our classroom and helping create a warm, supportive place for students to learn and grow.","fullyFundedDate":1753649081215,"projectUrl":"project/back-to-the-basics/9434374/","projectTitle":"Back to the Basics","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Megan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8628431_orig.jpg?crop=2015,2015,x0,y235&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1660708142880","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8628431"},{"teacherId":8628431,"projectId":9078797,"letterContent":"I wanted to thank you for the donation you made ro my students.
