Thanks to your kindness, our class was able to receive four beautiful glass hummingbird feeders, tall poles to hang them from, and a wonderful selection of flower and wildflower seeds that will attract hummingbirds, bees, and other important pollinators to our campus.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment we began unpacking the materials, my students were filled with excitement and curiosity. They immediately started talking about where the best places on campus might be to install the feeders and how the flowers would look once they started blooming. Watching their enthusiasm for learning about nature and environmental stewardship has been one of the most rewarding parts of this experience. These supplies have turned an idea into a living, growing opportunity for hands-on science learning.","fullyFundedDate":1760471812290,"projectUrl":"project/humming-birds-and-seeds/9486324/","projectTitle":"Humming Birds and Seeds","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. R.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3119681_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1508013370263","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ctms-randolph"},{"teacherId":1490785,"projectId":9140509,"letterContent":"I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to you for supporting my DonorsChoose project and helping me secure a set of tumbling and safety mats for my cheerleaders. Your generosity has provided more than just equipment—it has given my students the confidence, safety, and opportunity they need to grow as athletes, teammates, and leaders. Cheerleading is a physically demanding sport that requires skill, dedication, and most importantly, a safe environment. With these mats, my cheerleaders now have the tools to practice stunts, jumps, and tumbling with the protection they deserve. This gift not only reduces the risk of injury but also empowers my students to push themselves to achieve their goals without fear. Knowing that someone outside of our immediate school community believes in them and values their growth has been an incredible source of encouragement.\r\n\r\nAlready, the excitement on my team has been contagious. When the mats arrived, my cheerleaders could hardly contain their joy. They immediately wanted to roll them out and begin practicing safely. These mats have created a space where they can try new skills, challenge themselves, and build the trust that is so essential in cheerleading. For many of my students, this is their first time being part of a structured team, and your support has helped make their experience both safe and memorable. It's not just about the tumbling—it's about building resilience, teamwork, discipline, and school spirit. I've already seen my students take greater pride in their practices, knowing they now have professional equipment that shows their hard work is valued. They understand that people like you have invested in their growth, and that is a powerful motivator.\r\n\r\nYour donation will have a lasting impact far beyond this school year. These mats will serve countless future cheerleaders, giving them the same safe and supportive environment to learn and thrive. For many of my students, cheer is more than a sport—it's a family, a way to belong, and a source of self-confidence. Because of your kindness, they have the chance to experience that fully and safely. I cannot thank you enough for recognizing the importance of this project and for being part of my students' journey. Your generosity has reminded my cheerleaders—and me—that there are people who believe in the power of education, athletics, and the opportunities they create. On behalf of myself, my school, and especially my cheerleaders, thank you for giving them this gift of safety, growth, and possibility. We will carry your generosity with us in every routine, every practice, and every performance.","fullyFundedDate":1751508993062,"projectUrl":"project/learning-cheer-stunting-with-safety/9140509/","projectTitle":"Learning Cheer Stunting with Safety!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rico","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1490785_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1504571820842","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/arico"},{"teacherId":1019526,"projectId":9475411,"letterContent":"Students are using the whiteboards to brainstorm ideas in the classroom.
