The school was absolutely revved up for the year, and our students were incredibly proud to wear their \"I Voted\" stickers after casting their ballots. It turned a simple lesson in civics into a high-energy, school-wide event. When the students first saw the materials—especially the medals they will be working toward—they were thrilled. Seeing the tangible rewards for their future leadership gave them a sense of excitement and a clear goal to strive for as they begin their journey as student representatives.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, these resources will continue to serve as a cornerstone of our school culture. While the stickers fueled our kickoff, the medals are being reserved for our graduation ceremony in June. They will be awarded to commemorate a full year of valiant contributions and service to our student population. These items are more than just supplies; they are symbols of achievement that celebrate our students' hard work and dedication. Thank you for helping us make these moments of recognition possible for our future leaders.","fullyFundedDate":1755624615120,"projectUrl":"project/we-need-a-student-council-at-our-school/9396733/","projectTitle":"We Need a Student Council at Our School","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Leticia Rosales","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2367738_orig.png?crop=549,550,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1658442921254","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2367738"},{"teacherId":1166964,"projectId":9830999,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous donations of social-emotional learning materials, including books, puzzles, and plush items, to our elementary classroom.
