I see every day how naturally they lean into kindness when they're given the chance, and this project amplified that strength beautifully. Because of your support, students weren't just completing activities—they were taking ownership of our school's climate. Each intentional act of kindness became a moment for them to lead with compassion and to contribute to a more connected, welcoming campus.\r\n\r\nYour donation also allowed us to infuse the day with genuine joy. The colorful candies, LEGO kits, stickers, and creative materials you helped provide were far more than small treats; they were sparks that lit up our campus. They transformed Make a Friend Day from a simple observance into a celebration students were excited to participate in. That joyful atmosphere rippled throughout the school, helping students feel safer, more welcomed, and more willing to reach out and build new friendships.\r\nBecause many of our students come from low‑income households, your support ensured that every child could take part fully and confidently. \r\n\r\nBy providing all materials and supplies, you helped level the playing field so that kindness became something accessible to every student, regardless of background. With nearly 200 students participating, your generosity didn't just impact individual moments; it strengthened the social fabric of our entire campus. Our students are still talking about the connections they made and the positive energy they felt that day.\r\nThank you for believing in our students and for helping us create a school environment rooted in leadership, joy, and equity. Your contribution made a meaningful difference, and we're deeply grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1764006410824,"projectUrl":"project/square-up-for-kindness/9851295/","projectTitle":"Square Up for Kindness","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Gervais","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1038369_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1521554652216","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jasongervais"},{"teacherId":9175529,"projectId":9824189,"letterContent":"Thanks to your support, my students now have more ways to express themselves, stay regulated, and feel successful in our special education resource classroom. The art and music materials have helped create a calm, engaging space where students can paint, write, build, and create in ways that match how they learn best.\r\n\r\nThe art supplies and Play-Doh support sensory needs and fine motor skills, helping students focus and participate more confidently in academic tasks. The electronic drum pad has been used by students familiar with playing drums and those who benefit from having an emotional release. These materials have increased student engagement and helped students feel proud of their work.\r\n\r\nThe classroom technology has also helped me better support students by modeling lessons clearly and using adaptive tools more effectively. Because of your generosity, my students are more engaged, confident, and connected at school.

The board games you funded—especially The Game of Life and Clue—have already become useful tools in our classroom. They've helped my students strengthen inferencing, critical thinking, and socialization skills in ways that feel fun and meaningful. The new speaker system has also added excitement and engagement to our activities, helping create a more dynamic learning environment. We're also looking forward to exploring the additional games, Chess and Ticket to Ride, to continue building problem-solving and teamwork in the coming weeks and months.

They knew right away these items were for them—to help them feel safe, healthy, and ready to learn. One student even said, \"Now we don't have to miss class if we get a cut!\" That simple comment reminded me how much these resources truly matter.\r\nWe've already been using them every day. During a recent art project, one student got a small cut. Instead of leaving the room, they grabbed a Band-Aid from our new supply and were back to creating within minutes. The touch-free sanitizer has become part of our routine—students use it before and after group work, which helps keep everyone healthy and focused.\r\nThese supplies have made such a difference. Our classroom feels like a safe, caring space where students know their needs will be met. That peace of mind means they can concentrate on learning and supporting each other.","fullyFundedDate":1758636816166,"projectUrl":"project/wellness-wins-everyday-care-in-every-cl/9505445/","projectTitle":"Wellness Wins: Everyday Care in Every Class","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Gervais","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1038369_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1521554652216","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jasongervais"},{"teacherId":8046327,"projectId":9252858,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for contributing to our project. I did not think that a simple phone charging station would bring back so much attention, but it actually did. When I first set them up I didn't think that my students would care so much to charge their phones, but for some reason this act of exchange really brought attention back to class. It's not perfect, but it's definitely a start. \r\n\r\nAs the new school year started, we've gotten into really great routines. Students charge their phones if they'd like during direct instruction and they get them back when we do independent work. Again, not asking them to be restrictive, but to just get back some attention span that is lost in our phones. \r\n\r\nOther supplies have been used to have fun with eachother and create some non-screen time hang outs during advisory!

I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for your generous donation of graphic novels to my Special Day Class (SDC) English classroom. Your support has made a profound impact on my students and our learning environment.\r\n\r\nMany of my students in my classroom face unique challenges that can make traditional reading materials feel intimidating or inaccessible. However, the visual storytelling and engaging narratives of the graphic novels have opened new doors for them. For some, it's the first time they've been genuinely excited to pick up a book and immerse themselves in a story.\r\n\r\nEven my instructional assistant has been drawn into the stories and I catch her reading them from time to time. It's been inspiring to see students not only reading but discussing characters, plot twists, and illustrations with enthusiasm. These books have not only enhanced literacy skills but have also fostered a sense of community and connection among my students.\r\n\r\nYour donation has truly made a difference. You've helped create a more inclusive and engaging reading experience that supports my students' love of learning.
