It is nice to be able to have matching boxes so everything doesn't look messy. The kids really enjoyed using the bubble wrap. They got to learn how to properly pack items so they can do that in their own homes one day. I did let them pop some of it for helping me and I think they loved that part. \r\nThank you again for supporting organization in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1775751100890,"projectUrl":"project/organizing-is-important/10148507/","projectTitle":"Organizing Is Important","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gonzalez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp672559_orig.jpg?crop=880,879,x0,y17&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1596307798275","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lauriegonzalez"},{"teacherId":672559,"projectId":10090580,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting community involvement with my elementary gifted students.

This project has made a huge difference and has allowed my students to take their instruments home for practice. We currently have 11 students enrolled, with more expected to join after their sports seasons end. The excitement has spread throughout the school as students see my kids walking around with their guitars.\r\nThe day the cases arrived was unforgettable—the kids were ecstatic! They were thrilled to finally take their guitars home, and now they carry them around campus with pride and joy (pun intended). It's an amazing feeling to see them playing before school or during class breaks, practicing the music they've been working on.\r\nMusic was a great escape for me as a kid. It taught me perseverance, self-confidence, and gave me a deeper appreciation for the arts and other cultures. Back then, I had to teach myself because resources like these weren't available. That's why I'm so grateful to offer this opportunity to students who truly want it. What's even more rewarding is seeing students of different skill levels come together to help each other. They're learning from me—and from each other.\r\nThis is our inaugural year, and I wasn't sure what to expect in terms of interest. Since we're a K–8 school, we plan to open the club to elementary students as well. I couldn't have asked for a better start, and it's all thanks to you—the backers who made this project possible.\r\n\r\n\"Music can change the world because it can change people.\" – Bono\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in this program and helping bring it to life.","fullyFundedDate":1760693640222,"projectUrl":"project/let-rock-live-guitar-club/9525424/","projectTitle":"Let Rock Live Guitar Club","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Alava","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5207993_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754580737946","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5207993"},{"teacherId":2459345,"projectId":9698985,"letterContent":"Thank you very much for funding this project my students love completing mysteries that help them review math standards. \r\nThe great part as a teacher is that I get to see how much learning has happened from the beginning to the end of the unit.\r\nThe best part for the students is they sort of forget they are doing math work because they are so excited to find out the answers to the mysteries.\r\nI was able to purchase several different mysteries to help the students review many different standards for math review.","fullyFundedDate":1757519737935,"projectUrl":"project/math-mysteries-and-more/9698985/","projectTitle":"Math Mysteries and More","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Powell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2459345"},{"teacherId":4875164,"projectId":9199716,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your kindness for purchasing our classroom carpet.
