We've been using the donated clothing in many practical and important ways. When students get muddy on the playground or spill milk in the cafeteria, they no longer have to miss valuable learning time calling home for a change of clothes—or spend the day uncomfortable in wet or stained clothing. Students who have outgrown their uniforms, or whose families are unable to afford replacements, now have well-fitting pieces that help them feel confident and prepared for learning. The added sweatshirts and sweaters also ensure that students stay warm on days when they arrive without proper layers.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the new materials, their reactions ranged from excitement to relief. Many were amazed that people they've never met cared enough to help meet their everyday needs. That moment reinforced their sense of belonging and helped build a more supportive classroom environment. \r\n\r\nAs we move forward, these resources will continue to remove barriers so students can focus on their learning. With their basic needs met, they are better able to engage fully in current lessons, collaborate with peers, and take on new challenges with confidence. Your contribution truly set the stage for a stronger, more equitable learning experience for every child in our classroom. Thank you for making such a lasting impact on their school year.","fullyFundedDate":1757441857556,"projectUrl":"project/helping-students-shine-with-new-school-u/9691530/","projectTitle":"Helping Students Shine With New School Uniforms","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Tillman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3775179_orig.jpg?crop=1951,1951,x2152,y145&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720731955360","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/tillmankes"},{"teacherId":2750608,"projectId":9096178,"letterContent":"My Falcon Zen club was a smashing success!

We started the unit by doing research about owls in trade books from our library. Then students spent two class periods dissecting the owl pellets. They kept asking me, \"are these real?\" Initially, some were understandably a bit put off by the look and smell of the pellets, but once they started finding bones, they really got into it. After separating bones and fur, each group used bone charts to determine the type of bones they had found and what type of prey the owl ate. Once we had prey information for all pellets, students created a bar graph to show our results. This week they finished the unit by creating a barn owl food web. Thank you so much for making this exciting science unit possible for us.","fullyFundedDate":1732633547926,"projectUrl":"project/life-science-is-a-hoot/8937743/","projectTitle":"Life Science is a Hoot!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Crossman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5333877_orig.jpg?crop=676,676,x44,y127&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1570767725732","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5333877"},{"teacherId":2452992,"projectId":8648544,"letterContent":"Thank you for helping my class get this project funded.
