Thanks to your kindness, we were able to purchase much-needed enrichment materials such as beds, treats, tunnels, and cognitive enrichment toys for all of the animals in our care! These supplies have already made a noticeable difference in the comfort and well-being of our classroom animals, and they've also enhanced the hands-on learning experience for our students.\r\n\r\nYour donation not only helped provide physical enrichment for the animals, but it also gave my students a deeper understanding of animal behavior, care, and empathy. They've been actively involved in creating a more stimulating and nurturing environment, and it's clear to see the pride they take in their work. Your support has truly empowered these young naturalists to take ownership of their education and their responsibilities as caretakers.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in our project and for helping us build a more engaging and compassionate learning space!","fullyFundedDate":1748872729615,"projectUrl":"project/keep-our-critters-from-going-crazy/9383681/","projectTitle":"Keep our critters from going crazy!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Harra","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9881440_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x483,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1748643377837","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9881440"},{"teacherId":8837298,"projectId":9079983,"letterContent":"I truly can't thank you enough for investing in our students and making sure every one of them feels seen, valued, and represented.

Within minutes of the first group's visit, more than half of the new titles had already been checked out.\r\n\r\nMoments like these remind us how powerful representation can be. Your gift didn't just provide books—it sent a message to our students that their voices and stories matter.
