Your donation means more than you may realize to both my students and me. The folders, pencils, pens, charging cords, and screen protectors you provided are already making a meaningful difference in our daily learning environment.\r\n\r\nMy students come from a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds, and for many of them, replacing school supplies halfway through the year or purchasing technology accessories simply isn't an option. Something as small as a broken charging cord or a cracked screen can become a stressful situation for a student who worries about being charged a fee or getting into trouble. Because of your kindness, my students now have access to the tools they need to stay organized, keep their devices functioning, and focus on learning rather than worrying about what they cannot afford to replace.\r\n\r\nWhen the supplies arrived, the students were genuinely excited. Many of them immediately started organizing their materials into their new folders, and others were relieved to see that there were charging cords and screen protectors available to help take care of their school iPads. It may seem like simple items, but in our classroom they represent opportunity, dignity, and a fresh start.\r\n\r\nYour generosity helps create a classroom where every student has what they need to participate fully and confidently. Thank you for believing in my students and for helping remove barriers that can sometimes stand in the way of their success. Your support truly makes a difference in their lives.","fullyFundedDate":1772037525535,"projectUrl":"project/help-students-replenish/10092459/","projectTitle":"Help Students Replenish!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Tieu-Mitchell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9869457_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753925560748","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9869457"},{"teacherId":9869457,"projectId":10069484,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, my students now have access to their own dictionary and thesaurus hybrid during class. These resources have quickly become a daily tool in our classroom. Students use them during writing assignments to strengthen their vocabulary, find more precise word choices, and better understand unfamiliar words they encounter in readings. During tests and language activities, having a reliable resource right at their desks helps them feel more confident and independent as learners.\r\n\r\nWhen the dictionaries first arrived, many students were excited to flip through the pages and explore new words. Some students immediately began looking up words they hear often but were unsure about, while others used the thesaurus section to improve sentences in their writing. It was rewarding to see them realize that they have a tool that helps them take ownership of their learning and develop stronger language skills.\r\n\r\nAs we continue our lessons in reading and writing, these resources will remain an important part of our daily routine. Students will use them to expand their vocabulary, revise their writing with stronger word choices, and deepen their understanding of the texts we study. Your support has given my students a valuable resource that will help them grow as readers, writers, and confident communicators.","fullyFundedDate":1770047750849,"projectUrl":"project/help-students-strengthen-their-reading-a/10069484/","projectTitle":"Help Students Strengthen Their Reading and Writing Skills!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Tieu-Mitchell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9869457_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753925560748","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9869457"},{"teacherId":9869457,"projectId":9631191,"letterContent":"The donation from DonorsChoose made a meaningful and lasting impact on my students and our classroom environment. The books we received immediately sparked excitement and curiosity, especially among students who previously struggled to connect with reading. Having access to engaging, age-appropriate texts gave students the opportunity to see reading not just as an academic requirement, but as something enjoyable and personal. Many students began asking for recommendations, sharing books with peers, and showing genuine interest in stories and topics they could relate to.\r\n\r\nThese donated books also allowed me to provide consistent daily reading opportunities through bellwork and silent sustained reading. Because students now have materials readily available, they are able to practice reading every day without interruptions or limitations. This daily exposure has helped improve reading fluency, stamina, and confidence—especially for reluctant or struggling readers. Students who once avoided reading are now more willing to participate and take risks, knowing they have texts that match their interests and reading levels.\r\n\r\nOverall, this donation helped reignite a passion for reading in my classroom and opened the door for some students to discover that reading can be a source of entertainment, comfort, and growth. The books continue to support literacy development while fostering a positive reading culture where students feel motivated, capable, and excited to learn. Your generosity has truly made a difference in helping my students grow as readers.","fullyFundedDate":1762901398050,"projectUrl":"project/books-as-bold-as-my-8th-graders/9631191/","projectTitle":"Books as Bold as My 8th Graders","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Tieu-Mitchell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9869457_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753925560748","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9869457"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_62850","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":571,"numTeachers":40,"percentFrplEligible":87,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":10,"percentWhite":29,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":49,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.1,"schoolId":62850,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Alice Vail Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Alice Vail Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/tucson-unified-school-district/alice-vail-middle-school/62850"}
