Presentation day was scheduled for Friday March 13th, but all state and county offices were shut down. Thankfully we were approved to reschedule our complex wide wavier day so that presentations could be held on March 30th instead. \r\nAll of the items purchased through donors choose were still be able to be used and were very helpful in keeping the day organized. Crates of supplies including large display clocks were distributed to 22 classrooms. The cafeteria staff was able to freeze purchased ingredients and bento containers and serving boats were used to provide judges breakfast and lunch. Snacks were served to judges, student volunteers and presenters through out the day. \r\n392 judges came on campus to watch 250 students who successfully presented a 10-12 minute presentation. Despite the added stress due to the reschedule, presentation day was (as it always is) a highlight that fills the cups off all involved.","fullyFundedDate":1771738798536,"projectUrl":"project/senior-project-presentation-day/10110049/","projectTitle":"Senior Project Presentation Day","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Haines","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6741247"},{"teacherId":6746959,"projectId":10104775,"letterContent":"Thank you very much for the generous donation.

This proved to be a fantastic motivator; they weren't just working to finish they were working with a sense of purpose and excitement. Seeing their faces light up at the sight of a simple new pencil or a snack was a reminder of how much these 'basics' truly mean to them.","fullyFundedDate":1771438056780,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-formulas-snacks-and-supplies-fo/10103146/","projectTitle":"Fueling Formulas: Snacks and Supplies for Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jade","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10102402_orig.jpg?crop=827,827,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759177659651","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10102402"},{"teacherId":6741235,"projectId":10103963,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation!!
