Due to your support, our school received much-needed school supplies that are already making a meaningful difference for our students experiencing homelessness. \r\n\r\nFor many of our students, having access to basic materials like notebooks, pencils, and organizational tools is not something they can take for granted. These supplies are more than just items, they represent dignity, inclusion, and the opportunity to engage in learning without feeling left behind.\r\n\r\nYour donation has helped close barriers that often stand in the way of student success. With the right tools, our students are showing up more prepared, confident, and ready to learn. You've helped create a more equitable environment where every student, regardless of their circumstances, has the chance to thrive.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your kindness and belief in the power of education. Your impact goes far beyond the supplies. you've helped bring stability to students who need it most.","fullyFundedDate":1757515780497,"projectUrl":"project/school-supplies-for-students-in-need/9650594/","projectTitle":"School Supplies for Students in Need","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gorham","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9745115_orig.jpg?crop=2315,2315,x0,y84&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756216776448","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9745115"},{"teacherId":4684615,"projectId":9329628,"letterContent":"The students were so excited to get the lego sets.

The students and I are really enjoying all of the materials! \r\nAs a school psychologist, I meet with students individually for a variety of reasons. These reasons include checking in with students about their school progress or individual goals, meeting with (new to me) students and discussing the presenting concern, individual counseling, crisis response, testing with students who have been referred for an evaluation, and reading tutoring. \r\nAlthough new journals, gel pens, and fidgets might not seem like much to some, my students and I have been so excited! The students love picking a personal journal and choosing the color. I keep the journals in my office and I use them for a \"check in \" activity when they first arrive. They also enjoy choosing a fun and colorful gel pen for this activity. The Gel-Bead Emotion Friends are also a big hit! It is such a fun way to introduce feelings concepts and have them participate in choosing the feeling they will share.\r\nThese materials truly enhance the work I do with students.
