Your contributions provided essential supplies—nose tissues, sanitary wipes, and paper towels—that play a much more meaningful role than many people realize. These items may seem simple, but in a busy classroom filled with energetic students, they are vital tools that help us maintain a healthy, welcoming, and safe learning environment. With your help, I've been able to ensure that students have access to the resources they need to care for themselves and one another throughout the school day. Your generosity directly supports not just the physical well-being of my students but also the emotional security that comes from knowing they are learning in a place that is clean, supported, and thoughtfully cared for. Every box, roll, and packet has contributed to a smoother, more comfortable, and more mindful daily experience for every student who walks through our door.\r\n\r\nBeyond the immediate benefits of cleanliness and comfort, your support has had a ripple effect on the overall classroom community. When students see that people beyond their school walls are willing to invest in their well-being, it reinforces the idea that they matter and that others believe in the importance of their education. Your generosity helps us teach not only academics but also the value of responsibility, empathy, and shared care for our space and one another. By helping us maintain a clean and organized classroom, you've given students the opportunity to take pride in their learning environment and to focus more fully on their academic work without distractions or health concerns. Your kindness has strengthened our classroom culture in ways that go far beyond stocked shelves—it has created a sense of connection, support, and encouragement that will last far longer than any single supply item. Thank you again for making such a meaningful difference for my students and for helping us create a space where everyone can learn, grow, and thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1758325445314,"projectUrl":"project/cold-and-flu-season-is-upon-us/9721924/","projectTitle":"Cold and Flu Season is Upon Us!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Beadell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3276763"},{"teacherId":8288897,"projectId":9536659,"letterContent":"At the end of the first quarter, less than 10% of our students had one D or F in a class—a remarkable accomplishment that reflects the dedication and effort of our students.\r\n\r\nThis success comes from students consistently meeting their bi-weekly goals and learning how to set Specific, Measurable, Relevant, and Time-Bound (SMART) objectives.

With these skulls, students will be able to see, touch, and compare the physical changes that occurred over millions of years, making abstract concepts more concrete and accessible.
