The deodorant also helps students feel confident and fresh throughout the day, and keep them focused on learning. \r\n\r\nThe spray is also extremely helpful in keeping our room smelling fresh and prevents middle schoolers from yelling about how \"it stank.\" It is a classroom management help in this way. \r\n\r\nThank you again for the support you granted us.","fullyFundedDate":1742930470509,"projectUrl":"project/knock-out-seventh-grade-stink/9209566/","projectTitle":"Knock Out Seventh Grade Stink","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gardner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9972924_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1747235310714","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9972924"},{"teacherId":10046162,"projectId":9385612,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, my classroom feels more dynamic and accessible for every student.
