Your donation has had an impact far beyond a single classroom—because of your donation we've been able to support four classrooms and every student within them.\r\n\r\nAs our team has grown, your contribution allowed us to add essential supplies, expand our manipulatives storage, and share materials across an additional room. One of the biggest gifts has been the ability to create individualized strategy boxes for each student. These boxes have helped our learners build independence, stay engaged at their desks, and even look forward to \"trade-out day\".\r\n\r\nYour support has also made it possible to organize our weekly academic rotations. Coordinating five daily rotations with three adults is no small task, but the storage bins you provided have helped us stay organized and keep our routines running smoothly—our ducks are (mostly!) in a row thanks to you.\r\n\r\nBeyond the bins, we are deeply grateful for all the essential items you provided: Kleenex as we head into cold season, Play-Doh for sensory breaks, colored pencils for art, fruit snacks for kids that cannot afford to pack their own snacks and Clorox wipes - we've been able to share with the entire school. Your kindness didn't just help our students - it was a great surprise for the staff in our building and has been in an incredible way to feel supported at the start of our school year. \r\n\r\nWe cannot thank you enough for your generosity and your belief in our kiddos.","fullyFundedDate":1755689428481,"projectUrl":"project/storage-wars-no-longer-on-viewed-on-you/9544296/","projectTitle":"Storage Wars!
