Many couldn't believe these items were just for them. Something as simple as having deodorant, wipes, or body spray available made them feel valued and cared for.\r\n\r\nSince receiving these resources, students have been able to focus more on their learning instead of worrying about personal discomfort or embarrassment. I've seen a noticeable boost in participation and confidence—students are raising their hands more, engaging in group work, and showing up ready to learn.\r\n\r\nWe've also connected this project to our ongoing classroom goals around self-care, confidence, and respect for self and others. Students are learning that taking care of themselves is part of preparing for success—both in and out of school.\r\n\r\nYour generosity gave my students more than supplies—you gave them comfort, dignity, and motivation to keep striving for their goals.","fullyFundedDate":1761837651281,"projectUrl":"project/clean-confident-supporting-student-su/9611799/","projectTitle":"Clean & Confident: Supporting Student Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Person","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8668976_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755401381319","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8668976"},{"teacherId":8668976,"projectId":9578928,"letterContent":"When the new bookshelf arrived, my students' excitement was immediate—they couldn't wait to unpack the boxes of books and start organizing our new reading corner. Together, we arranged the shelves by genre and color, turning what used to be an empty space into a vibrant \"reading hub.\" Now, every day during independent reading time, students rush to the corner to browse, trade recommendations, and curl up with a good book. One student proudly said, \"It feels like a real library in here now!\"—and that sense of ownership has made a noticeable difference in their engagement.\r\n\r\nSince adding the bookshelf, reading has become a more joyful, social, and meaningful part of our day. Students are exploring stories they might not have picked up before, discussing characters, and even creating mini book reviews to share with classmates. The visibility and accessibility of the books have truly encouraged curiosity and confidence in reading. Our next step is to build on this momentum by incorporating student-led book talks and creating a \"Reader of the Week\" display to celebrate progress and passion for reading. Thanks to this project, my students now see reading not as an assignment, but as an adventure they get to choose every day.","fullyFundedDate":1757207414915,"projectUrl":"project/a-shelf-for-stories-a-corner-for-dreams/9578928/","projectTitle":"A Shelf for Stories, A Corner for Dreams","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Person","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8668976_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755401381319","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8668976"},{"teacherId":9388375,"projectId":8749748,"letterContent":"Thank you for your incredible support in bringing new books to our classroom library. Your generosity has had a transformative impact on our students' reading experiences and their growth as learners. With your help, we've been able to introduce a diverse range of books that capture the interests and imaginations of our students, empowering them to find joy in reading and build essential literacy skills.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, we use these books during our Empowered Reading block, a dedicated time for silent sustained reading. This block has become a student favorite, as it allows them to immerse themselves in stories and topics that resonate with them personally. This engagement has sparked meaningful connections to the written word and has been a key driver in improving their reading fluency and comprehension. In fact, almost all of my students met or exceeded their reading growth goals in mid-year testing—a testament to the impact of their hard work and the high-quality materials your donation has provided.\r\n\r\nWhat's most inspiring is hearing students say that Empowered Reading is their favorite part of the school day! Many of them have shared how much they love having books that feel like they are \"just for them\" and how this library has helped them see reading in a whole new light. Your support has created a space where students can grow as readers and as thinkers, and it's making a real difference in their lives.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in our classroom and in the power of books. Your contribution is helping us build a brighter future, one page at a time.","fullyFundedDate":1726808125433,"projectUrl":"project/turning-readers-into-leaders-building-l/8749748/","projectTitle":"Turning Readers Into Leaders: Building Literacy Through Engaging Reads","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Shorter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9388375_orig.jpg?crop=272,272,x4,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725761250744","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9388375"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_125432","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":300,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":93,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":40,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":56,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":81.8,"schoolId":125432,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Animo Compton Charter School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Animo Compton Charter School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/compton-unified-school-district/animo-compton-charter-school/125432"}
