Thanks to your generosity, we have been able to start offering drum circles with different classes, giving students a chance to connect, collaborate, and experience the power of making music together. We have also developed partnerships with several amazing community members who are coming to teach students different styles and traditions of drumming. These experiences are opening doors for students to explore music, culture, rhythm, and creative expression in ways they may not have had access to before.\r\n\r\nOne of the most meaningful things we've seen is how some students have begun using the drums throughout the school day as a way to regulate their emotions, release energy, and reset when they need a break. It's been wonderful to see the instruments become more than just a classroom activity; they're becoming another tool for students to express themselves, find connections, and feel supported at school.

They made crafts, created decorations, and worked together to build a beautiful ofrenda (altar) in our school hallway. It was exciting to see students share ideas, get creative, and bring their own personalities and experiences into the project.\r\n\r\nWhat made this project especially meaningful was giving students a chance to see their culture and traditions celebrated at school. We have a large Hispanic student population, and we want our students to feel proud of who they are and know that their backgrounds and family traditions matter. Students took an active role in the celebration by sharing their knowledge, giving presentations, contributing their ideas, and helping shape the experience. Some of the most meaningful moments were listening to students share personal stories and explain what this tradition means to them.\r\n\r\nThe celebration brought our school community together in a really special way. Students had the opportunity to learn from one another, share a part of their lives, and see their voices and cultures represented throughout our school. We are so grateful to everyone who helped make this possible. Your generosity gave our students more than art supplies and materials; it gave them an opportunity to feel seen, valued, and proud of who they are.

Math can often feel intimidating, but having a low-stakes space where students can freely sketch out ideas, test formulas, write out problems, and erase mistakes without fear has sparked a whole new level of confidence. Watching them actively play with math—collaborating with peers and enthusiastically holding up their solutions—has brought an incredible energy to our daily lessons.\r\nBeyond math practice, your contributions helped us hang a large, central whiteboard calendar. It keeps our students grounded and connected by tracking upcoming academic milestones alongside individual birthdays, and school activities. \r\nThank you once again for investing in our students, supporting their ongoing progress, and making our classroom a brighter, more engaging place to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1778222497394,"projectUrl":"project/no-student-left-behind-the-great-whiteb/10209583/","projectTitle":"No Student Left Behind: The Great Whiteboard Refresh","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Smith","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9912671"},{"teacherId":132077,"projectId":10124187,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom project.

Students who once struggled walking into a math class, now take pride in our newly well organized class with new items to play with. This refresh reduces the \"math anxiety\" often associated with static textbooks and old classrooms. We have been playing games, doing puzzles, playing with whiteboards, graphing using our new rulers and calculating using new calculators which just make us happy. A student even asked me if they can have the book, \"How to Adult\". I told her she can borrow it. \r\n\r\nNext, the introduction of streamlined organization materials creates the mental clarity necessary for focus and problem-solving. When a classroom utilizes modular storage for manipulatives, designated stations for collaborative work, and structured tubs for missing work, students spend less time on \"logistical frustration\" and more time on deep work. With a 67% attendance rate, staying organized and having a place for students to gather missing work is essential. This has not only helped them but it helps me keep sane and gives me more time to work with students one-on-one.","fullyFundedDate":1769177962610,"projectUrl":"project/math-class-refresh/9844322/","projectTitle":"Math Class Refresh","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Smith","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9912671"},{"teacherId":8649927,"projectId":9697280,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation of various kitchen supplies.
