Many of my students come from low-income families, and having the materials they need each day makes a tremendous difference in their confidence and their ability to succeed in the classroom.\r\n\r\nWhen students learned that they would not have to buy their own pencils or folders for the school year, many were genuinely overwhelmed. The relief on their faces was unforgettable, and the excitement in our classroom was immediate. Your generosity removed a major worry for them and allowed them to start the year feeling supported and prepared.\r\n\r\nThe folders you provided are used every single day in Social Studies. Students use them to take notes, complete assignments, and keep all of their materials organized in one place so nothing gets lost. This organization has helped them stay focused and become more responsible with their work.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the punch-card incentives have been a huge hit. Students love earning punches for positive behavior and then choosing fun pencil toppers as rewards. This small system has boosted motivation and brought a lot of joy into our classroom routines.\r\n\r\nYour kindness not only supports their learning but also shows them that there are people who believe in their potential. We are deeply grateful for your support, your compassion, and the opportunities you've helped create for our classroom.\r\n\r\nWith sincere appreciation and","fullyFundedDate":1755701963010,"projectUrl":"project/building-brighter-tomorrows-school-supp/9533923/","projectTitle":"Building Brighter Tomorrows: School Supply Requests","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ferguson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3870383_orig.png?crop=206,206,x0,y17&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753360542210","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3870383"},{"teacherId":8145036,"projectId":8502038,"letterContent":"Leaving the classroom was hard but coming back was even harder.
