Your generosity has already begun to create moments of connection and joy that reach well beyond the walls of the classroom. Board games such as Uno, Connect Four, Jenga, and Scrabble, along with cooperative favorites like Apples to Apples and Codenames, invite students to sit down together, talk, laugh, and learn in ways that textbooks alone cannot offer. Card games and strategy games encourage critical thinking and problem-solving, while quick, lighthearted games give students a chance to decompress after a busy day.\r\nThese shared experiences build community in subtle but powerful ways. When a group of sixth graders negotiates the next move in a round of chess, they practice patience and respectful communication. Seventh graders cheering one another on during a spirited round of Pictionary are strengthening friendships across classrooms and grade levels. Even students who may be shy in traditional academic settings often find their voices in the relaxed atmosphere of a game table.\r\nYour support helps create a welcoming space where students of different backgrounds can meet as equals, discover common interests, and develop social skills that will serve them throughout life. Teachers and staff have noticed students forming new friendships and inviting peers they might not normally interact with to join in, proving that a simple deck of cards or stack of tiles can spark real community.\r\nThank you for recognizing the value of play as a bridge between learning and belonging. Because of your donation, our school can continue to foster an environment where students not only grow academically but also build the connections and confidence that make school a true community. Your contribution is making a lasting difference every day.","fullyFundedDate":1745931999980,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-turn-donations-into-play-laught/9294607/","projectTitle":"Help Us Turn Donations into Play, Laughter & Memories!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ronan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8354651_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y96&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1680023796550","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/sineadronan"},{"teacherId":8354651,"projectId":9249021,"letterContent":"Your generosity has made an extraordinary difference for Magnolia Middle School's One Book, One School initiative. Because of these contributions, we were able to purchase a large set of high-quality books. This investment does far more than put books on shelves; it creates a shared experience at brings students, staff, and families together around an important social issue.\r\nHaving enough copies for every student and educator means that no one is left out. All 415 of our middle school students can read, reflect, and discuss the same story at the same time. This collective reading experience builds a sense of belonging and helps students see that their voices matter in school-wide conversations. It also provides teachers across all subjects—English, social studies, science, and even the arts—opportunities to weave lessons around this book.\r\nOur donors' support sends a powerful message: education thrives when the community invests in it. Their gifts help us nurture lifelong readers and socially aware citizens.
