This simple addition has reduced clutter and made transitions between activities much smoother.\r\n\r\nHaving these chair pockets also teaches responsibility and independence. Students know exactly where their materials belong, and they take pride in keeping their space organized. Because everything is easily accessible, we spend less time searching for items and more time focused on learning.

This generous contribution will be used to enhance our outdoor learning and recreational spaces by providing much-needed shade for our students, particularly during warmer months. The umbrellas will be strategically placed in areas where students often gather, ensuring a cooler and more comfortable environment for outdoor activities.\r\n\r\nThis donation is especially meaningful for our special education students, many of whom are more sensitive to heat and sunlight due to medical or sensory needs. For these students, access to shaded areas during recess, outdoor lessons, or therapy sessions is not just a matter of comfort—it is essential to their well-being. The new umbrellas will allow these students to safely enjoy outdoor time without the risk of overheating or sun exposure, supporting both their physical health and emotional regulation.\r\n\r\nWe are deeply grateful for this donation and the positive impact it will have on our entire school community. By creating a more inclusive and accessible outdoor environment, we are taking another step toward ensuring that every student at Greenfield School has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. Thank you for your continued support of our mission and the students we serve.","fullyFundedDate":1728253411498,"projectUrl":"project/shade-for-success-outdoor-umbrellas-for/8676426/","projectTitle":"Shade for Success: Outdoor Umbrellas for Enhanced Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lovelady","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8992179_orig.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1700490858906","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8992179"},{"teacherId":9282183,"projectId":8774393,"letterContent":"We had a minor setback when a student poked another with a fastening pin and the principal banned the pins from art class. But the dedicated sewing artists came up with a plan and actually came into the classroom during lunch to work on their creation (this was allowed). \r\n\r\nThe dress forms were nice to start with. All students worked out with Croquis (2-D sketches). They then developed their ideas onto the mini dress forms. Some students didn't feel confident or were \"bored\" with drawing and they went right onto the dress forms. The dress forms allowed the students to practice with shaping clothing and arranging colors and patterns. When we finally opened up the large dress form, it was so amazing for them. My dedicated sewing circle couldn't wait and they ended up figuring it out themselves (they insisted that I stay out of it, that they could put the pieces together). I was very impressed!\r\n\r\nThere were hurt feelings because there is only one life size dress form-and that is actually okay. We are working out a schedule and teaching others how to become confident with pinning and even sewing (someone donated a sewing machine to the art room because of our interest). My dedicated sewing circle made up a new name for their \"company\" and is planning to submit fashions for our talent show. Usually we have people sing, dance and play instruments, so having a fashion portion is a major impact.\r\n\r\nI want to thank you so much for encouraging this way of being an artist, and for giving it validation.","fullyFundedDate":1734712145395,"projectUrl":"project/say-yes-to-the-dress/8774393/","projectTitle":"Say Yes To The Dress!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nelson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9282183_orig.png?crop=770,770,x0,y24&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1695331198893","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9282183"},{"teacherId":8707115,"projectId":9015508,"letterContent":"Thank you \r\nOur school is very excited about the items we received that will be used for our mobile gator cart.
