The students constantly use scissors and glue sticks in my class to glue resources into their interactive notebook and it was nice to not have to worry about running out of supplies and face disruptions to their learning. The technology of the color printer also allowed the students to print out their ABC earth science book to enhance their learning, to supplement what they themselves could not draw by hand. The students and I will be forever grateful for your donation and generosity!","fullyFundedDate":1746570915520,"projectUrl":"project/provide-basic-supplies-to-swd-in-our-new/9035064/","projectTitle":"Provide Basic Supplies to SWD in our New SPED Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Young","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1995377_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1699968712831","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/joycelyn-young"},{"teacherId":8358987,"projectId":9202467,"letterContent":"Thanks to you, I now have access to a color printer, laminator, Velcro, and book rings, which are essential for creating customized communication boards. These boards are more than just paper and pictures, they are powerful tools that give my non-speaking students a voice. With these materials, I can individualize boards for each student's needs, ensuring they have a reliable and accessible way to express themselves both at school and at home.\r\n\r\nI've already begun creating these boards, and the response has been incredible. Students who previously struggled to make their needs known are now pointing to pictures to share their thoughts, ask for help, and engage with those around them. It's been moving to witness how something so simple can unlock such meaningful interaction.\r\n\r\nYour support is helping build not just communication tools, but confidence, connection, and a greater sense of belonging for each student.","fullyFundedDate":1743041864164,"projectUrl":"project/speech-therapy-is-a-work-of-heart/9202467/","projectTitle":"Speech Therapy is a Work of Heart","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hernandez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8358987_orig.jpg?crop=1170,1170,x0,y456&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1742572177079","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/misshernandeztheeslp"},{"teacherId":2473270,"projectId":9171519,"letterContent":"We are incredibly grateful for the generous donation of supplies to support our school coffee cart. The aprons and name tags not only help create a more professional and organized atmosphere, but they also give our students a sense of pride and ownership in their roles. Wearing aprons helps students understand the importance of hygiene and presentation in a workplace setting, while name tags encourage positive customer interactions and help build confidence in communication. These items are especially beneficial for students practicing job readiness skills, as they mimic real-world employment expectations.\r\n\r\nThe additional supplies— straws, hot and iced coffee cups, and pens—enhance both the experience for our customers and the learning opportunities for our students. By offering a variety of flavors and both hot and cold drink options, students gain valuable experience in taking custom orders, managing inventory, and understanding customer preferences. The pens are useful for order-taking, labeling, and practicing organizational skills. All of these supplies support our goal of teaching practical life and vocational skills in a fun, hands-on way. This donation truly helps our club grow and thrive while preparing students for future success.","fullyFundedDate":1743203842477,"projectUrl":"project/learning-how-to-inventory/9171519/","projectTitle":"Learning How to Inventory","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rachel Parker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2473270_orig.jpg?crop=640,640,x0,y85&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1565992514352","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2473270"},{"teacherId":2473270,"projectId":8923487,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous donations.
