They give us an opportunity to encourage students, build positive relationships, and remind them that their efforts are noticed and appreciated. Providing snacks to hungry students also helps ensure they feel cared for and are better able to focus and succeed throughout the school day.\r\n\r\nWe are truly grateful for your generosity and for investing in our students and their success.

It is being used as a tool to support social-emotional learning, teamwork, communication, and stress relief. Many students come into the space feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or disconnected, and having access to this technology gives them a positive outlet to reset before returning to class or engaging in school activities.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is being able to connect with their peers through something they enjoy. The games encourage students to take turns, problem-solve, manage emotions, practice patience, and celebrate one another. For some students, this has opened the door to conversations and connections that may not have happened in a traditional setting.\r\n\r\nWe have seen students who are usually quiet or hesitant to participate begin to open up while playing with others. Some students who struggle with frustration have used the gaming space as a calm-down tool, helping them refocus and make better choices throughout the day. Others have used it as a way to build friendships, strengthen confidence, and feel a stronger sense of belonging on campus.\r\n\r\nBecause of your donation, our students now have another meaningful way to experience joy, connection, and wellness at school. Thank you for helping us create a safe and supportive environment where students can build calm, connection, and confidence.","fullyFundedDate":1768709986048,"projectUrl":"project/more-than-a-game-building-calm-connect/9984946/","projectTitle":"More Than a Game: Building Calm, Connection, and Confidence","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Cullen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9743909_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726322097596","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9743909"},{"teacherId":9743909,"projectId":9581040,"letterContent":"Technology plays a critical role in helping our students stay engaged, connected, and prepared to learn each day. Many of our students rely on school as their primary access point for reliable devices and charging resources. By providing consistent access to technology, we are removing a major barrier that can prevent students from completing assignments, participating in class activities, and staying organized. When students are able to keep their devices charged and ready, they are more focused, less stressed, and better equipped to fully engage in their learning.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most about this project is the sense of relief and readiness it brings. Being \"recharged and refueled\" is not just about devices it's about giving students what they need to show up as their best selves. Having access to charging stations and supportive resources means they no longer have to worry about their devices dying during the school day. That peace of mind allows them to focus on academics, collaborate with peers, and take full advantage of instructional time.\r\n\r\nWe have seen a particularly strong impact on students who are frequently on the go, balancing academic responsibilities with personal challenges. Some students who previously struggled to stay prepared or engaged are now arriving to class ready to participate because their basic needs are being met. Students who are typically quiet or hesitant are also more willing to engage when they feel prepared and supported.\r\n\r\nThis project is about more than technology it's about dignity, access, and opportunity. By ensuring our students are both recharged and refueled, we are creating the conditions they need to succeed academically and thrive emotionally","fullyFundedDate":1764738499521,"projectUrl":"project/dont-call-it-a-comeback-recharged-re/9581040/","projectTitle":"Don’t Call It a Comeback: Recharged & Refueled","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Cullen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9743909_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726322097596","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9743909"},{"teacherId":10041298,"projectId":9372375,"letterContent":"I would like to thank you all once again for funding two cameras for my Yearbook students. This only being my second year as a Yearbook Advisor, the main struggle I had was getting enough cameras for the many students that were interested in learning and taking pictures. Last year, I only had two cameras. One was lent to me by a coworker, and the other camera was my personal camera. \r\n\r\nNow, more students are able to, sometimes for the first time, learn about photography, be more engaged with their school, and their peers. Without this technology, my students would not be able to capture memories that will not only teach them the basics of photography, but allow them to have fun and participate in an extracurricular activity. \r\n\r\nI am committed in producing a high quality Yearbook that everyone will enjoy.
