Thanks to your selfless generosity, we were able to fully stock our classroom behavior store with an amazing variety of treats and rewards. As a teacher, I am always looking for effective ways to motivate my students and create a positive, uplifting environment where they feel recognized for their hard work. Your thoughtful donation has allowed me to do exactly that, bringing pure joy to our daily routine.\r\n\r\nIt really takes a truly special kind of person to invest in the lives of children they may have never even met. By generously contributing to our classroom, you have clearly shown my students that their community cares deeply about their growth and well being. You have truly made my daily job as an educator infinitely easier and far more joyful. Thank you so much for championing our wonderful classroom, for believing in the power of positive reinforcement, and for making this school year incredibly sweet.","fullyFundedDate":1764685129214,"projectUrl":"project/pbis-goodies/9934068/","projectTitle":"Pbis Goodies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Korey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8594473"},{"teacherId":8594473,"projectId":9934301,"letterContent":"I am writing to express my deepest and most sincere gratitude for your incredible generosity. Because of your recent donation to our classroom, we were able to purchase a complete set of IXL workbooks for my students. I want to take a moment to share exactly how your contribution has impacted our daily learning environment and transformed the way these amazing students approach their education.\r\n\r\nAs a teacher, one of my primary goals is to ensure that learning does not just stop when the direct instruction ends. While our daily classroom lessons are where the foundation is built, the true mastery of a concept happens during independent practice. That is exactly where your gift has made a monumental difference. \r\n\r\nThese IXL books have provided my students with a vital, hands-on tool to extend their learning beyond our core lessons. Whenever we tackle a complex concept, the students now have a dedicated, high-quality resource to turn to. It allows them to dig deeper into the material, practice at their own pace, and truly solidify their understanding of the topics we are working on. \r\n\r\nThank you for being champions of education and for helping me give my students the tools they need to succeed.

Because of you, my students now have access to materials that directly support their social-emotional growth, academic success, and overall well-being.\r\n\r\nAs a school counselor, I work closely with students who need a safe space, encouragement, and tools to help them navigate challenges. The items you provided have helped make individual counseling sessions and small groups much more engaging. For example, when I have a student who just needs a space to find their calm, they come to my office and use the weighted sloth you donated. The board games you donated have helped me \"break the ice\" with students with whom I did not have a relationship because they act as ice breakers but also, playing games helps students ease around me. They also enable me to know my students. \r\n\r\nYour kindness extends far beyond the items themselves. You are sending a powerful message to our students that they are seen, valued, and worth investing in. Many of them face obstacles outside of school, and your support helps create a welcoming environment where they can feel supported and empowered.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and in the importance of social-emotional learning. Your generosity is already making a meaningful difference.","fullyFundedDate":1764973972171,"projectUrl":"project/comfort-connection-and-care-in-the-cou/9546050/","projectTitle":"Comfort, Connection, and Care in the Counseling Office","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Machuca","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10119157"},{"teacherId":9719934,"projectId":9540638,"letterContent":"Thank you for donating to my Character Counts project. We have seen wonderful progess in classroom learning and culture since receiving the items. The laptop/tablet allows me to walk the classroom during instruction instead of standing at the screen. This helps in student engagement and classroom management where students remain on task with teacher proximity. In addition, I can hand a student the \"pen\" and tablet for them to share their responses. Class participation has increased considerably now that we have better use of technology.\r\n\r\nThe snacks serve as a great reward for our students in the PBIS token economy. Students want to earn more \"points\" so they can exchange them for a snack. They are so excited about the rewards, they want to shop every day. The snack portion of the project is so successful that I will need to creat another to restock the supply.\r\n\r\nOnce again, my students and I thank you for your kindess and support as we move forward in becoming better in everything we do.","fullyFundedDate":1755460301861,"projectUrl":"project/character-counts/9540638/","projectTitle":"Character Counts!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Eiswerth","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9719934"},{"teacherId":10044424,"projectId":9568201,"letterContent":"Thanks to your incredible generosity, our 8th grade math classroom has been transformed into a bright, welcoming, and inspiring place to learn! The new resources have completely changed the atmosphere—what was once a typical classroom is now an inviting, exciting space where students feel comfortable taking risks and exploring new math concepts. One of the most special additions has been our new classroom mascot, which the students helped name and now see as a symbol of our teamwork and problem-solving spirit.\r\nWhen my students first saw the materials, their excitement was contagious. They immediately started talking about how different the room felt—soft, colorful, and full of energy. Several students said it finally feels like a place where they want to learn math! That change in attitude has made such a difference in their confidence and willingness to participate.\r\nRight now, we're using our new environment to tackle a collaborative geometry project, where students design \"mascot-themed\" math spaces using measurements, area, and scale drawings. It's amazing to see how this cozy, creative space has inspired them to think mathematically while also working together. Because of your support, our classroom is now not only a place to learn equations and formulas—it's a place where curiosity, comfort, and community come alive every day.","fullyFundedDate":1757683196298,"projectUrl":"project/cow-of-a-room/9568201/","projectTitle":"Cow Of A Room","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Samartan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10044424"},{"teacherId":9593736,"projectId":9732942,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, my students now have access to a full class set of brand-new calculators that have truly improved our math classroom. Having reliable technology allows students to focus on learning and applying key concepts within the curriculum, rather than getting stuck on simple computation errors or sharing limited devices.\r\n\r\nI'm especially grateful that these calculators came with a storage case, keeping everything organized and secure. It's a relief to no longer spend class time troubleshooting broken calculators or tracking down missing ones. Because they're such a valuable resource, students treat them like gold—each student must temporarily exchange an item, such as a phone, shoe, or backpack, when borrowing one to ensure they are always returned safely.\r\n\r\nWhile students now have access to these crucial tools, I also continue to emphasize the importance of mental math and problem-solving without calculators. This balance helps them strengthen both accuracy and number sense while building confidence in their mathematical abilities.\r\n\r\nI also want to thank you for the additional items included in this project. My new mouse pad has been a small but mighty upgrade—it's much more comfortable on my wrist and makes it easier to spot my pointer among the many papers spread across my desk. The Jolly Ranchers will be put to great use as incentives for participation and positive classroom behavior, adding a bit of sweetness to our math lessons.\r\n\r\nYour support has made a lasting impact on both our learning environment and classroom culture. Thank you for helping create a space where students can learn, stay organized, and feel motivated every day.","fullyFundedDate":1760497771099,"projectUrl":"project/calculators-candy-and-classroom-wins/9732942/","projectTitle":"Calculators, Candy, and Classroom Wins!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cochrane","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9593736_orig.jpg?crop=3022,3022,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746033205389","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9593736"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_94287","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1541,"numTeachers":76,"percentFrplEligible":20,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":67,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"20.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":86.0,"schoolId":94287,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Pacetti Bay Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Pacetti Bay Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/st-johns-county-school-district/pacetti-bay-middle-school/94287"}
