The funds you provided have helped us purchase new trash cans for our playground, giving students a dedicated place to dispose of litter and helping keep our entire campus clean and safe for all, from pre-K to 12th grade. Your generosity has empowered our students to become active participants in caring for their shared spaces.\r\n\r\nMy students were excited to see the new cans arrive and immediately took ownership of the project. The best moment so far was seeing a first-grader, without any prompting, stop to pick up a stray wrapper and put it in one of the new cans. It's an incredible lesson in community and responsibility that they are truly embracing.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, the project is evolving. We are now working on a \"School Pride\" unit, where students will learn how to maintain a beautiful campus and encourage their peers to do the same. This small change has made a big difference in how our students view their role within the school community.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your incredible support.","fullyFundedDate":1746786043642,"projectUrl":"project/a-clean-playground-for-little-learners/9215891/","projectTitle":"A Clean Playground for Little Learners: Investing in Environmental Wellness","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ashleigh","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8934626"},{"teacherId":8934626,"projectId":9040561,"letterContent":"I am writing on behalf of the middle and high school girls in our Home Economics program to express our profound gratitude for your thoughtful donation of feminine hygiene products. Your generosity has provided a true sense of peace and comfort to our students. They are so appreciative of not having to interrupt class or go to the front office to ask for these essential supplies. Your contribution fosters a more respectful and supportive learning environment for all. The absence of these products can create significant anxiety, distraction, and even embarrassment for our students at a very vulnerable age. Previously, a student might have felt compelled to miss a critical part of a lesson, abandon a hands-on lab activity, or feel a sense of public exposure just to access a basic necessity. Your donation, however, has removed these stressful barriers entirely, allowing them to remain secure and discreetly handle their personal needs with dignity. This simple act of kindness has had a monumental impact on their daily school experience, affirming their self-worth and ensuring they feel seen and cared for within our school community.","fullyFundedDate":1746494813454,"projectUrl":"project/keeping-our-girls-comfortable-and-focuse/9040561/","projectTitle":"Keeping Our Girls Comfortable and Focused: Providing Essential Hygiene Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ashleigh","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8934626"},{"teacherId":8934626,"projectId":8691585,"letterContent":"On behalf of my students and myself, I want to express our sincere gratitude for your generous donation toward our gecko habitat.

This simple addition has had such a positive impact on our school community.\r\n\r\nEvery class now has the opportunity to use the table, creating a space where students and staff can come together to share stories, experiences, and enjoy the sun and fresh air. It's become a place where our community feels safe and relaxed, whether it's for a peaceful break or a productive work session. Some of our students even choose to sit at the table as a calming space when they are feeling overwhelmed.\r\n\r\nThe table has truly become a cherished part of our school, and we're excited to share that we plan to request a couple more so that even more students can benefit from this wonderful addition.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your support and kindness.

Thanks to your contribution, every classroom in our school was able to receive a safety ladder. This crucial tool has allowed us to provide each of our teachers and students—from Pre-K through 12th grade—with the opportunity to practice important safety procedures in the event of an emergency.\r\n\r\nBy working together, we've been able to ensure that all of our students understand how to safely exit the building via the windows, should a fire or other emergency occur. This preparation has not only given our students a sense of security but has also provided peace of mind to our teachers, staff, and parents.\r\n\r\nIt's amazing how something as simple as a safety ladder can have such a profound impact on the overall well-being and confidence of our school community.

Thanks to your contribution, my students have been able to benefit from resources that are making a profound impact on their well-being.\r\n\r\nTo start, my students have been carrying around the weighted sloths throughout the school, using them as a source of comfort and reassurance when they need it most. The weighted blanket has also been a great tool for students to feel safe and calm. We've practiced safe coping skills on the yoga mats, and my students who are sensitive to sounds have found relief through the headphones, using them during class, lunch, and other activities.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, these resources have helped my students understand and express their feelings in a healthier way. The positive impact on their mental health has been incredible, and it's all thanks to people like you.\r\n\r\nI truly could not have done this without your support.
