This shows that you need to be intentional about getting to know people and find what their likes and interests are. These supplies will inspire some fresh ideas for gifts for secret pals and will enhance the quality of the weekend. Thank you so much for your generosity and continued support!

Because of your donation, my students are able to have access to a color printer that we will use to create our college projects. Every year it has been a battle to ensure that our students have access to the one color printer that is in our school so this year that will be eased and will allow our students to create fantastic projects without them struggling to get a spot in line for the printer. You do not know just how much this is going to be a burden lifted. It truly is incredible to see what the kids come up with and the professionalism they show during their presentations.

Before, just using black and white copies of equations were all we had to work with, and to get colored print outs, we have to go through several days of approval, but having our own colored printer gets things done easier and helps the student identify specific features from equations that are otherwise too tedious to work. Also, a handy sound bar really helps change the mood inside the classroom from relaxed to fun and exciting. We cannot thank you enough for this and we hope we can use these items for many more years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1779395898512,"projectUrl":"project/i-see-you-i-hear-you/10063006/","projectTitle":"I See You!

With the ipad's free hand app, we can easily erase previous work sans the mess and also choose different font colors to distinguish numerical items in the equation. \r\n\r\nAlso, there is a feature that allows us to check if our manual computation is correct because it allows us to view the answer at the end of each equal sign.

Teachers and students were shouted out by each other. Talk about building a culture of gratitude. Some of the notes that students wrote each other were so thoughtful and heartfelt. It was nice to be able to see faces when they received their shout out stars. We had students sit in all 3 lunches in the cafeteria and allow others to write. We passed out candy with those so that was a nice recognition as well. Gratitude is one thing that I push the most and to get a boost from a project like this was absolutely fantastic.

This project was for supplies that were used at our annual leadership retreat. This is a retreat at which 72 students get to go and learn about themselves, leadership, and each other. The majority of these items went to supply each student with ways to keep track of the weekend, things such as writing utensils and paper. We also had things that have been part of Asheboro for years such as the candles. Then there were items for decorations that went along with our space theme. \r\nThe theme this year was \"one small step\". We challenged our students to take one small step towards their goals and becoming the leaders they can be. Your contributions made this happen. Without your contributions it would have cost much more for our students to attend and we may not have been able to do some of the things that we were able to do.","fullyFundedDate":1775676146933,"projectUrl":"project/learning-to-lead/10183900/","projectTitle":"Learning to Lead","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Fro","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2952097_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1485358024299","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/frobro"},{"teacherId":10170433,"projectId":9738108,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our project, \"Keeping Germs Out, Letting Learning In.\" Your generosity has helped us create a cleaner, healthier, and more comfortable classroom environment where students can focus on what matters most—learning!

Having these resources readily available has also encouraged students to take greater responsibility for caring for our classroom and one another.\r\n\r\nMy students were excited and grateful when they saw the new supplies arrive. What may seem like simple classroom necessities truly make a difference. Students notice when their learning environment is clean, organized, and cared for. Your donations allow us to spend less time worrying about germs and missing supplies and more time engaging in discussions, collaborating with classmates, completing assignments, and growing as learners.\r\n\r\nAs we move through the school year, these resources will continue supporting us every day. Our goal is to keep students healthy, reduce unnecessary absences, and maintain a classroom where everyone feels comfortable and ready to participate.

Your generosity has made a meaningful difference for my students.\r\n\r\nThe folders have become an essential part of our daily classroom routine.

During our STEM activities, students use their folders to keep track of planning sheets, data collection, and reflections, making it much easier for them to stay organized and focused throughout each project.\r\n\r\nWhen the folders arrived, my students were genuinely excited to receive something that was just for them. They immediately labeled and personalized their folders, taking pride in keeping their work neat and organized. It was wonderful to see how such a simple resource encouraged responsibility and ownership of their learning.\r\n\r\nAs we continue through the school year, these folders will support students as they work on collaborative STEM challenges, engineering design projects, and long-term assignments.

The equipment has helped our student-athletes feel more confident and excited when competing. One special moment that stood out was when one of our players, who had never hit a triple before in her life, used the donated bat and hit the first triple of her softball career. Seeing her excitement and confidence after that moment was incredible, and it motivated the rest of the team as well. The new equipment has not only improved performance, but it has also helped build confidence and enthusiasm throughout the program.\r\n\r\nThe students were amazed and extremely excited when they first saw the materials. Many of them had never seen or used such high-quality equipment before, especially the bat. They immediately noticed the difference and were excited about the amount of \"pop\" the bat had when making contact. Almost the entire team wanted to try it, and they were thrilled with the results they saw during practice and games. The players were also very excited about the equipment bag and batting tee. The bag helped make carrying equipment much easier and was large enough to hold multiple items, which was a huge help for the team. The batting tee quickly became a favorite during practice because the girls loved how durable and reliable it was, even with constant use.\r\n\r\nThe next steps for our students are continuing to build on the confidence, teamwork, and skills they developed this season. We plan to continue using the donated equipment during offseason workouts, conditioning, and skill development sessions so players can continue improving their fundamentals and preparing for next year. Our goal is to help athletes continue growing both academically and athletically while creating opportunities for them to build leadership, discipline, and confidence through softball. The resources provided by our donors will continue to impact our program long after this season and will help future players have the same opportunities to succeed and enjoy the game.","fullyFundedDate":1762559230978,"projectUrl":"project/help-our-team-swing-for-success/9705100/","projectTitle":"Help Our Team Swing for Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Adams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10253466"},{"teacherId":2952097,"projectId":9516589,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations.
