One of my favorite moments was watching students eagerly collaborate, discuss their ideas, and confidently use the new materials to support their thinking.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the resources, their excitement was immediate and genuine. Many of them expressed how special it felt to receive new materials just for their learning. Seeing their faces light up reminded me how powerful community support can be in motivating students and helping them feel valued and capable. Your generosity has boosted not only their academic growth but also their confidence and enthusiasm for learning.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, students will continue using these resources to deepen their comprehension, strengthen critical-thinking skills, and apply what they learn to upcoming lessons and projects. Your contribution has created lasting opportunities for growth, and it has made a meaningful difference in our classroom.

The arrival of the new materials brought such excitement and joy to my students. I wish you could have seen their faces light up as we unpacked the boxes together—there were cheers, big smiles, and lots of eager hands ready to explore. The resources have already made a huge impact on our day-to-day learning. From using new markers and whiteboards during small group instruction to organizing our classroom supplies with ease, these materials have helped create a more focused and collaborative environment.\r\n\r\nOne of our favorite moments so far has been a group writing project where students worked in pairs to draft and illustrate persuasive letters. With the colorful tools and fresh supplies, they took so much pride in their work, and the results were incredible! The students were more motivated to revise and share their writing with the class—and they even asked to display their final pieces in the hallway to show others. That sense of ownership and excitement is something I will always remember.\r\n\r\nAs we move into the next phase of our learning, we're beginning a unit on social entrepreneurship and how small ideas can make a big difference—just like your support did for us. My students are now brainstorming ways they can give back or solve problems in their community, and I truly believe the inspiration began with this project. Thank you again for investing in our classroom and for believing in my students. Your kindness is helping shape confident, creative, and curious learners!","fullyFundedDate":1746787003999,"projectUrl":"project/blooming-for-excellent-supporting-inspir/9055967/","projectTitle":"Blooming for Excellent Supporting Inspiring Learning Opportunities for Our Students.","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Banton-Williams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9622348_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754786349415","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9622348"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_74166","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":680,"numTeachers":45,"percentFrplEligible":69,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":10,"percentWhite":7,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":74,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"15.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":44.3,"schoolId":74166,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Desert Spirit School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Desert Spirit School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/glendale-elementary-school-district-40/desert-spirit-elementary-school/74166"}
