All of our 8th graders recognize that they can come into our office, sit on the new comfy bean bag chair and that they have access to a plethora of fidget and calming toys like squishy balls, coloring books, fidget stones, etc. \r\n\r\nI still remember the moment that I received all of the materials and five of our 8th graders helped me organize the office and find a place for each of the items in this project. I was able to see how excited these students were to have these new items available to them and have the honor of placing them in the office. \r\n\r\nI am the most thankful to the donors who funded this project as it has helped my role as a counselor supporting all of our students when they are in need.","fullyFundedDate":1769177145120,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-minds-hearts-in-8th-grade/9786836/","projectTitle":"Supporting Minds & Hearts in 8th Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Roberts","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10298543_orig.jpg?crop=1863,1863,x808,y757&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759494133178","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10298543"},{"teacherId":9324053,"projectId":9288745,"letterContent":"This project will have a lasting impact on students by turning their hard work into meaningful, tangible recognition. When students receive personalized, high-quality awards, they feel seen, valued, and motivated to continue striving for success. The laminator and engraver will allow us to create durable certificates and keepsakes that students can proudly share with their families and treasure for years to come.\r\nBeyond the awards themselves, this project helps build a positive classroom culture where effort and achievement are consistently celebrated. Recognizing milestones—big and small—encourages students to take pride in their work, boosts their confidence, and reinforces the belief that their dedication truly matters.\r\nFor many students, these awards may be the first formal recognition they have received. That moment of celebration can spark a sense of possibility, helping them see themselves as capable learners with bright futures ahead. By investing in this project, donors are not just providing materials—they are helping nurture self-esteem, resilience, and a lifelong love of learning.","fullyFundedDate":1746785617552,"projectUrl":"project/shaping-futures-laminating-and-engravin/9288745/","projectTitle":"Shaping Futures: Laminating and Engraving Student Excellence","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gregorio","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9324053_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y687&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1704468221896","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9324053"},{"teacherId":10294239,"projectId":9775996,"letterContent":"I am so thankful for the incredible fulfillment of my Donors Choose Project.
