Thank you so much for supporting our Pencil Boxes for My Peeps project! Because of your generosity, every single one of my students now has their very own pencil box filled with the tools they need to learn, create, and succeed.\r\nYou might not realize how much something as simple as a pencil box can mean to a child. For many of my students, this was the very first time they had a personal space to keep their supplies — a little box that belongs just to them. When we passed them out, the excitement was contagious! Smiles filled the room, and I heard comments like, \"This is MY box?\" and \"Now I won't lose my pencils anymore!\"\r\nThese boxes have already made a big difference in our daily routines. My students take pride in keeping their supplies organized, and they're more responsible and ready to learn each day. It's amazing to see how something so small can spark such a big sense of ownership and confidence.\r\nYour donation did more than buy pencil boxes — it gave my students a sense of belonging, pride, and care. They know that someone out there believes in them enough to invest in their learning. That's a message that will stay with them far longer than the supplies themselves.\r\nThank you for showing my \"peeps\" that even the simplest gifts can have the biggest impact. You've helped make our classroom a brighter, happier, and more organized place to learn!","fullyFundedDate":1745074127045,"projectUrl":"project/pencil-boxes-for-my-peeps/9257392/","projectTitle":"Pencil Boxes for My Peeps!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Reed","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9999773_orig.jpg?crop=1239,1239,x92,y491&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1744948247555","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msreedteaches"},{"teacherId":9999773,"projectId":9257378,"letterContent":"From the bottom of my heart, thank you for supporting our DonorsChoose project, The Essentials.

Because of your kindness, my students now have the tools they need at their fingertips, and that has changed everything.\r\nYour donation didn't just fill our shelves; it filled our classroom with hope, motivation, and pride.

This donation impacts our entire school. When students come to school late they have often not had breakfast. As they check into the office, the ladies will ask if they have eaten.

Teachers will send students to the office at all times of the day when they start to notice behaviors or a student tells the teacher they are hungry.
