One memorable classroom moment occurred when students began measuring, cutting, and tying their first blankets together. As they worked, conversations naturally shifted from learning the process to discussing who might receive their blankets and how something they made could bring comfort to someone else. It became more than a classroom activity—it became a meaningful act of service.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the materials, their excitement was immediate. Many were eager to choose colors, already imagining the finished blankets. Several students commented on how soft the fleece was and expressed pride knowing the supplies were donated specifically to support their work and their community impact. Seeing tangible materials ready for them made the project feel real and important.\r\n\r\n\r\nYour generosity has allowed students to experience learning in a way that is purposeful, collaborative, and deeply connected to helping others.","fullyFundedDate":1768838187492,"projectUrl":"project/provide-warmth-for-our-community/10041986/","projectTitle":"Provide Warmth for Our Community","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Russell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9680019_orig.jpg?crop=576,576,x1168,y632&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723754109450","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9680019"},{"teacherId":9708457,"projectId":10047359,"letterContent":"Thank you for donating to my project! My students have been eating the granola bars during snack and after school. They appreciate the granola bars because some have a late lunch. For example, my seventh graders do not eat lunch until 12:05 PM. I have them in the morning and during class they will eat them as a snack to hold them over until lunch. Most of my tenth graders eat lunch at 10:30 AM. Therefore, when I have them in the afternoon, they are starving. The granola bars help them finish the school day.\r\n\r\nWhen they first saw all the granola bars, they were very grateful. They were shocked that I was able to purchase that many granola bars with this project.

Having access to a clean, organized space and basic supplies helps students feel comfortable and prepared each day. These simple supports reduce stress, promote a sense of stability, and allow students to focus on learning rather than worrying about unmet needs.\r\n\r\nThe emphasis on cleanliness and shared responsibility has also fostered pride and ownership in our classroom. Students actively participate in maintaining their environment, reinforcing teamwork and accountability while earning positive incentives. By meeting students' basic needs and providing a welcoming space, this project supports their well-being and readiness to learn ensuring warmth, care, and consistency so students can engage fully in developing essential personal finance and life skills.","fullyFundedDate":1769023184794,"projectUrl":"project/care-in-the-classroom/10042074/","projectTitle":"Care in the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ehgartner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10383208"},{"teacherId":10383208,"projectId":9958877,"letterContent":"This project has had an immediate and meaningful impact on my Personal Finance and Accounting classroom by creating a more organized, efficient, and student-centered learning environment. With a dedicated set of classroom calculators, students now have consistent access to essential tools needed for budgeting, payroll, credit analysis, and accounting calculations. This has reduced interruptions, increased engagement, and allowed students to focus more deeply on real-world financial problem solving.\r\n\r\nThe binders and classroom supplies have also transformed daily instruction. Organized materials help lessons run smoothly and keep students on task, while items like Clorox wipes, Band-Aids, and Kleenex support a clean, safe, and comfortable space for learning. Together, these resources promote productivity, equity, and care allowing students to concentrate on developing practical financial and life skills that will serve them well beyond the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1766276309852,"projectUrl":"project/calculators-and-organization/9958877/","projectTitle":"Calculators and Organization","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ehgartner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10383208"},{"teacherId":1268716,"projectId":10022187,"letterContent":"Thank you for the impact you have made on our classroom. Because of your generosity, our rural classroom is now a cleaner, healthier, more welcoming place where students can focus on learning instead of worrying about basic needs. \r\nMany of our students come to school carrying challenges that go unseen, and a clean, organized environment makes a difference in how they feel each day. The cleaning supplies and storage items you helped provide allow us to maintain hygienic desks, shared materials, and common spaces, reducing the spread of germs and helping keep students healthy and present at school. Fewer absences mean more consistent learning, stronger routines, and a greater sense of stability for our students. When students walk into a space that is orderly, fresh, and well maintained, they feel respected and valued.\r\nYour contributions have also had a profound impact through the provision of healthy snacks, which address one of the most significant barriers to learning: hunger. Many of our students arrive at school without having eaten breakfast or must go long stretches between meals. Hunger affects far more than physical comfort; it impacts concentration, emotional regulation, and behavior. Because of you, we are able to offer nutritious snacks that help students maintain their energy and attention throughout the school day.\r\n\r\nTogether, the clean classroom environment and access to healthy snacks represent something much larger than supplies alone. They show our students that their well-being matters, that they are worthy of care, and that they are supported by a community that believes in their potential. Thank you for helping us meet students' basic needs and creating a welcoming space where students can grow academically, socially, and emotionally.","fullyFundedDate":1768849221120,"projectUrl":"project/a-clean-classroom-content-kids/10022187/","projectTitle":"A Clean Classroom & Content Kids","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Heeter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1268716"},{"teacherId":9690256,"projectId":9602176,"letterContent":"My students have greatly enjoyed the opportunity to use the magnetic dry erase graphing boards in the classroom!
