Your generosity helped bring one of our most cherished school traditions to life in the most memorable way.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our third graders had everything they needed—tissue paper, balloons, tape, and colorful craft materials—to design and build their very own parade floats. The creativity in our classroom absolutely exploded! Students were sketching, problem-solving, collaborating, and proudly bringing their ideas to life.\r\n\r\nThe parade took place the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, and the excitement was unbelievable. As our third graders marched down the hallway, the entire school lined the halls cheering, clapping, and celebrating their hard work. Their eyes lit up as they saw younger students waving, teachers smiling, and the whole school coming together to share in this joyful moment. It was pure magic.\r\n\r\nEvery student created a unique balloon float, and they couldn't wait to show them off. A few favorites included the beautifully crafted 6/7 balloon and a trio inspired by How the Grinch Stole Christmas—the Grinch, Cindy Lou Who, and Max—which were crowd favorites!\r\n\r\nYour support didn't just provide craft supplies—it helped create a powerful learning experience where literacy, art, engineering, and imagination came together. Students learned about Tony Sarg, the history of the Macy's parade, and the creative engineering behind giant balloons. Most importantly, they felt pride, accomplishment, and the joy of sharing their work with their entire school community.\r\n\r\nThank you for making this tradition possible and unforgettable. Your kindness created memories our students will cherish for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1763596027631,"projectUrl":"project/balloons-over-broadway-inspiring-creati/9796656/","projectTitle":"Balloons Over Broadway: Inspiring Creativity Through a 3rd Grade Parade!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dickinson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1946655_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1467384735764","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-dickinson12a"},{"teacherId":1946655,"projectId":9390677,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity!

One memorable moment happened during a rainy-day recess when a group of students who don't normally choose to work together gathered around a game of Connect 4. As they played, I watched them take turns respectfully, encourage each other, and even problem-solve together, skills that don't always come naturally in a busy classroom setting. It was one of those small but powerful reminders of how meaningful collaboration can be when students feel relaxed and engaged.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students the tools to learn, laugh, and grow together.
