Because of your kindness, my students now have consistent access to nutritious snacks, which makes a meaningful difference in their day. For many children, hunger can be a real barrier to learning, and your donation helps remove that obstacle so they can arrive at lessons ready to focus and participate.\r\n\r\nThe impact of having snacks available goes beyond simply satisfying hunger. When students' basic needs are met, they are better able to concentrate, manage their emotions, and engage positively with their peers. Snack time has become a moment of calm and connection in our classroom, helping students recharge and return to learning with improved attention and energy.\r\n\r\nYour support has created a more equitable and supportive learning environment for every child in our room. The benefits of your generosity show up daily—in stronger focus, increased confidence, and a classroom where students feel cared for and ready to learn. Thank you for believing in my students and for investing in their success.","fullyFundedDate":1732064390355,"projectUrl":"project/snack-attack/8508763/","projectTitle":"Snack Attack","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gagliardi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1018696_orig.jpg?crop=400,400,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1765720005797","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-gagliardi"},{"teacherId":10259041,"projectId":9711284,"letterContent":"My students and I immediately began using the materials you helped provide for us! They are able to enjoy working on goals while playing new games or using new materials. The essential items have already been put to good use as the sick season has begun and I am always cleaning the furniture and toys. \r\n\r\nWhen my students saw the new materials and all the boxes, they were excited to help me open them and find new toys, games and materials for them. I was excited when I walked into school and the principal said \"All of that on the cart is for you.\" It's a huge deal to be able to get all of these things without having to spend more of my money.\r\n\r\nSince I am a speech-language pathologist and work with specific groups in grades K-8. I do not have a specific project, but having more materials has really helped my deaf students especially. They have more choices for requesting using ASL, as vocabulary is something that is very difficult for them. These toys give them more vocabulary, more ability to socialize and engage in play with each other. It's just amazing! I may do this again in the future after truly getting to know these kids, but also maybe looking into more essentials. I can not thank you enough!!!","fullyFundedDate":1758712794181,"projectUrl":"project/materials-and-toys-needed-for-deaf-and-h/9711284/","projectTitle":"Materials and Toys Needed for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Smith","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10259041"},{"teacherId":3738490,"projectId":9751910,"letterContent":"Thank you for generously donating to my classroom.
