It gives our interns freedom to explore different tastes which gives them more to practice their descriptive words and social skills. The tools provided in this project help us make sure that we are keeping our space organized and clean which is helpful for our set up and take down of the club materials.\r\n\r\nWe will continue to have toast club and encourage our interns to try to initiate social interactions as well as encouraging their independent decision making skills.","fullyFundedDate":1778154362817,"projectUrl":"project/the-first-rule-of-toast-club/10048086/","projectTitle":"The First Rule of Toast Club","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Garibay","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4832259_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1563978348073","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msayala23"},{"teacherId":1219935,"projectId":9912649,"letterContent":"The supplies you donated have made such a difference in our dances. As you will see in the pictures, we have beautiful backgrounds now as well as decorations to make the Multi-purpose room look amazing for dances. The lights make it look like a real dance venue. The leadership students are so proud of the work they are doing on the dances and it makes such a difference to have actual supplies to work with and help inspire. These materials have ensured that the whole school enjoys the dances and have helped improve student socialization. The students are making memories at the dances and with our fabulous photo backdrops. \r\n In addition to use at dances we are using the bubble and fog machine at our intramural sports games. Twice a semester we put on a intramural sports tournament. The students practice at lunch and then we invite students, families and alumni to come watch the game. We use the smoke machine to introduce the teams and the students were SO excited. We also started a cheer program and used the bubble machine for the cheer performance.
