Your thoughtful contributions—including the sensory swing, felt calendar, sensory tube, snacks, and peanut ball—have already begun transforming our learning environment in meaningful and deeply impactful ways. Working with students who have intellectual disabilities and severe autism requires creativity, flexibility, and a wide range of tools to meet their sensory, communication, and emotional needs, and each item you gifted is helping us do just that. Words feel small compared to the difference you have made, but I want to honor the impact by sharing just how important your support truly is.\r\n\r\nEvery item you donated has a purpose, a place, and a daily impact in our classroom. More importantly, each one reflects your compassion for students who often go unseen or misunderstood. Your generosity sends a powerful message to them: they are valued, supported, and worthy of opportunities that help them grow. \r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and in the work we do. Your kindness has created a brighter, calmer, and more accessible learning environment for every child in our classroom. We are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1756764353109,"projectUrl":"project/silc-classroom/9658452/","projectTitle":"SILC Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tiffany","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10228456"},{"teacherId":5720000,"projectId":8690271,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous donation to our golf program. The new hitting mat has been very helpful in using our net to practice into. We as a team are not always able to go to the golf course to practice so sometimes we need to practice on campus. These mats help us to set up practice shots, without tearing up the grass or turf areas. The new tees have been beneficial, because that is something we constantly go through. \r\n The tees we now have are better quality and do not break as juch as our old ones. We are forever grateful, you have taken the time to help make us better as a program.
