The same students who work jobs after school, babysit their siblings, and drive cars, were excited for tiny eraser toys. The only thing that gave them concern was that they would have to wait until after Christmas Break to get them. \r\n\r\nWhen students entered my class after break they asked two questions: Is there bellwork? (because that is how they earn class currency the easiest) and Are they here? They were so ready to look at their options that students unboxed the eraser animals and props and placed them in the PBIS Store drawers themselves. A (well-mannered) bidding war almost ensued. Luckily, the variety of options allowed every student wanting to purchase the ability to pick something they really wanted. \r\n\r\nIn all, students are begging for bellwork, pointing out other students' good deeds and hard work, as well as trying to go above and beyond on assignments to earn class currency. They are all very certain their class pets need snacks, sports equipment, and books to read, so the store drawers are always opening and closing. Students flaunt their pets on their desks and hide them around the room as a game. Everyone is good natured about their pets, and some of them even have back stories and lore. \r\n\r\nThank you for contributing to our classroom culture!","fullyFundedDate":1765827162905,"projectUrl":"project/high-schoolers-are-kids-too/9953455/","projectTitle":"High Schoolers are Kids, Too","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Whidden","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8923381"},{"teacherId":1720436,"projectId":9533774,"letterContent":"Your generosity made a meaningful difference in the lives of my students. Many of our students come from hardworking families and face significant economic challenges, but every day they walked into the classroom with determination, curiosity, and hope for a brighter future. The supplies you provided ensured that each student had access to the tools they needed to fully participate and succeed.\r\nThe motivational posters you funded served as daily reminders that effort matters, struggles are part of learning, and every student is capable of achieving excellence. For many of my students, these positive messages are more than decorations—they are powerful affirmations that help build confidence and resilience.\r\nBecause of your support, our classroom became a more engaging, organized, and inspiring place to learn. You helped create an environment wherein students feel valued, supported, and encouraged to reach their fullest potential.

Before we had them, supplies for my three preps and class‑sponsor responsibilities were scattered in different corners or squeezed into overcrowded shelves, which made it hard to find things quickly. Now, everything has a place, and it has completely changed the flow of our day. I can grab materials without digging through bins, students can access what they need without confusion, and transitions between activities are smoother and faster. The room feels more open, less cluttered, and much more welcoming.","fullyFundedDate":1764961122882,"projectUrl":"project/organized-space-focused-minds-storage/9866756/","projectTitle":"Organized Space, Focused Minds: Storage Solutions for a Busy Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Isabelle Campbell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9697232"},{"teacherId":8269562,"projectId":9850195,"letterContent":"The students in the class are so happy to have the turtle. They often step to the back and take a moment to relax and contemplate the creature. The students often argue about who will feed the turtle and I make them take turns everyday so that they all get the experience of interacting with the turtle. I am in the process of getting a secondary turtle to add to the tank. I believe having the turtle in our classroom has made the students more aware of the needs of the creatures that surround us, it has also helped them to gain a sense of responsibility for our world and the beings that inhabit it. I think that taking care of a small animal and seeing it grow has given them a love for our natural world and an impulse to protect animals and their habitats. I believe observing the turtle has given them a sense of empathy and responsibility that they will carry to other aspects of their lives and improve their future.","fullyFundedDate":1764961122738,"projectUrl":"project/turtles-observing-the-classroom/9850195/","projectTitle":"Turtles observing the classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Perez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8269562"},{"teacherId":4463813,"projectId":9891905,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous support of the IHS Success Closet. Because of your kindness, our students now have access to professional business attire that is helping open doors to opportunity, confidence, and success.\r\n\r\nMany of our students face barriers that go beyond the classroom. For some, something as simple as having appropriate clothing for a job interview, scholarship ceremony, career fair, or leadership event can feel out of reach. Your donation changed that. Through the Success Closet, students can now walk into interviews, ceremonies, and important milestones feeling prepared, confident, and proud of how they present themselves.\r\n\r\nWe've already seen the impact. Students who once felt anxious or discouraged now stand taller, speak more confidently, and believe more deeply in their potential. The clothing you helped provide is more than fabric — it's dignity, confidence, and opportunity. It sends a powerful message to our students: you belong in these spaces, and your future matters.\r\n\r\nYour generosity is not just supporting a project — it's shaping lives.
