Whether materials are used for classroom learning, leadership development, service projects, student activities, or school spirit events, the availability of resources allows educators and student leaders to offer enriching programs that bring students together. These shared experiences help students form connections, build friendships, and develop a stronger attachment to their school. Participation in these activities promotes school pride, encourages collaboration, and creates a culture where students feel connected to a common purpose.\r\n\r\nReceiving supplies also contributed to student success by reducing stress for both students and families. Many families face financial challenges that can make purchasing school supplies difficult. By providing resources at little or no cost, schools can ease this burden and ensure that students have what they need to be prepared and successful. When basic needs are met, students are more likely to attend school regularly, participate actively, and remain engaged in their academic and extracurricular pursuits.","fullyFundedDate":1778276194521,"projectUrl":"project/cricut-anyone/10277330/","projectTitle":"Cricut Anyone?","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Butler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2149472_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1480214760861","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-butler5"},{"teacherId":2149472,"projectId":10219350,"letterContent":"Providing supplies strengthens relationships among students, staff, and the broader community.

As a result of your donation, our air purifiers are working their magic in our classroom. We have already noticed improved indoor air quality. The air purifiers have reduced airborne particles (dust, pollen, pet dander), lowering overall pollutant levels students breathe. By filtering respiratory droplets and aerosols, purifiers can lower transmission risk of illnesses (like colds or flu), helping maintain attendance and reducing outbreaks.\r\n\r\nWe have also seen fewer allergy and asthma triggers. The air purifiers are removing common allergens that decrease symptoms for sensitive students, leading to fewer disruptions, doctor visits, and missed school days. AND Better concentration and cognitive performance. We know that cleaner air is linked to improved attention, memory, and test performance; reducing pollutants supports learning focus.\r\n\r\nThanks again for making the difference in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1760759175028,"projectUrl":"project/a-breath-of-fresh-air/9746965/","projectTitle":"A Breath of Fresh Air","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Butler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2149472_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1480214760861","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-butler5"},{"teacherId":2149472,"projectId":9635146,"letterContent":"Thank you for your donation. Stickers provide quick recognition right after a desired behavior, which strengthens the connection between the behavior and the reward. A sticker is a small physical token students can see and show. That visibility boosts pride and signals success to peers and caregivers. When my students receive stickers for effort, following directions, or meeting goals, they're more likely to repeat those behaviors to earn more recognition.

Play-Doh and laminated materials offer powerful, hands-on benefits especially for students in Special Day Class (SDC) settings. Manipulating Play-Doh strengthens fine motor skills—important for tasks like writing, buttoning clothes, and using scissors—by encouraging finger isolation, hand strength, and bilateral coordination. The sensory experience of squishing, rolling, and molding clay can also be calming and regulate arousal levels, helping students who struggle with sensory processing or anxiety to focus more easily during lessons. Because Play-Doh activities are inherently flexible, teachers can adapt them to teach a wide range of academic skills (letter formation, counting, shape recognition) while keeping students engaged through tactile, multisensory learning.\r\n\r\nLaminated materials further enhance instruction by providing durable, reusable resources that support repeated practice and immediate feedback. Lamination allows educators to use dry-erase markers for tracing letters, solving math problems, or working through communication boards—then quickly erase and reuse, which is cost-effective and reduces preparation time. For students who need visual supports, laminated cue cards, schedules, and choice boards are easy to handle, resilient to wear, and can be personalized with pictures or icons to match individual communication and learning goals. Combined, Play-Doh and laminated tools create an interactive, low-pressure environment where SDC students can practice skills repeatedly, build independence, and experience measurable progress in both academic and functional areas.","fullyFundedDate":1755724961557,"projectUrl":"project/sense-and-sensibility/9592824/","projectTitle":"Sense and Sensibility","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Butler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2149472_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1480214760861","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-butler5"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_54643","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":349,"numTeachers":18,"percentFrplEligible":71,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":85,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"19.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":72.1,"schoolId":54643,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Shadow Hills Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Shadow Hills Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/fontana-unified-school-district/shadow-hills-elementary-school/54643"}
