Each bag included pencils with uplifting messages, a sensory sticker, a treat, and a note of encouragement ; small reminders that they are capable and cared for.\r\n\r\nA group of amazing student volunteers helped assemble and deliver the kits, which made the project even more meaningful. It wasn't just about what was inside the bags, it was about the kindness shared through the process. I watched students light up as they filled the bags, chatting about who might get theirs and what message might brighten someone's day.\r\n\r\nWhen the kits were delivered, excitement filled the halls. Several teachers shared that students were thrilled and genuinely touched to receive something thoughtful during such a stressful week.\r\n\r\nThis project reminded all of us how simple acts of kindness can create a ripple effect of positivity. My next step is to continue finding ways for students to serve and uplift one another through similar school-wide projects.","fullyFundedDate":1746786353182,"projectUrl":"project/youve-got-this-finals-week-de-stress-k/9316779/","projectTitle":"You’ve Got This: Finals Week De-Stress Kits","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Perron","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9808211_orig.jpg?crop=426,426,x91,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1731809688720","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9808211"},{"teacherId":9808211,"projectId":8946287,"letterContent":"On behalf of myself and the students of Wood River High School, I want to express my sincere gratitude for your generous contribution to our Valentine Grams project. Your support has made a lasting impact on our students, and I am so grateful for your kindness.\r\n\r\nThanks to your donation, the students at WRHS had an incredible time filling the Valentine Grams with fun items, taking requests, and delivering them to their classmates. It was such a rewarding experience for them to participate in something that brought so much joy to others. The students who received the bags were thrilled, and even though the items were simple, many shared with their teachers how much they appreciated receiving them. It was heartwarming to see the smiles and hear the excitement that these little gifts brought.\r\n\r\nWhile our Valentine-themed items arrived on time, the Christmas-themed items came after the holiday break, so we were unable to create both Christmas and Valentine goody bags this year. However, we are excited to hold on to the Christmas items and look forward to using them for next year's holiday activities.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, our students are excited to continue working on projects that foster community, kindness, and collaboration. This experience has inspired them to think of other ways to make a positive impact on the school and their peers, while also contributing to improving mental health by spreading joy and encouraging connection.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity. Your support truly made a difference in our students' lives, and we are incredibly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1734707299489,"projectUrl":"project/spreading-holiday-cheer-with-holiday-gra/8946287/","projectTitle":"Spreading Holiday Cheer with Holiday-Grams for High Schoolers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Perron","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9808211_orig.jpg?crop=426,426,x91,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1731809688720","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9808211"},{"teacherId":9786749,"projectId":8847691,"letterContent":"Your authentic donation of money helped students to have full bellies, which directly translates to better, more productive learners.

These tools have helped all students succeed by providing an outlet for excess energy and improving focus during lessons.\r\n\r\nPerhaps most importantly, the growth mindset journals and stickers you provided have been crucial in building positive support systems for our students.

When we first opened the box, the students were so excited they helped me unpack and put things away. The etch-sketch, double-sided whiteboards and the expo markers get used the most. Their favorite activity is an activity we call Picasso. The students work in pairs. There is a picture projected on the front board and one student can see the picture and has to describe it to the student who has their back to the board. They have a few minutes to describe the photo to the artist who's listening to the description. They can ask questions as they work together and then at the end, we vote on the drawing that is the most similar to the picture projected on the board. The great thing about the activity is that the students forget that they're engaged in the language while building their skills. The Guess Who game gets used a lot in my lower level Spanish classes learning and practicing vocabulary about hair, color and eye color and describing features and working on feminine and masculine adjectives. Everything has been an incredible blessing! \r\nThe activities change things up and make it so that the classroom is fun.
