One of our favorite moments was a simple \"snack-and-create\" activity where students shared a treat while working on small art projects. The relaxed setting helped conversations flow naturally and allowed students to feel more comfortable opening up.\r\nThe younger students were immediately excited about the snacks—they loved having something comforting, and it really helped ease their shyness. Our mentors were thrilled about the art supplies because they make activities more engaging and help spark meaningful conversations.\r\nOur next steps are to continue using these resources to strengthen mentor–mentee relationships. We'll be incorporating more structured craft activities that promote teamwork, self-expression, and communication. These materials will continue to support a safe, positive space where students can build confidence and stronger connections with one another.","fullyFundedDate":1763474826935,"projectUrl":"project/snackin-craftin-with-peer-mentors/9672510/","projectTitle":"Snackin’ & Craftin' with Peer Mentors","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Michel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8504985_orig.jpg?crop=2208,2208,x0,y736&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1731471781963","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8504985"},{"teacherId":8504985,"projectId":9086931,"letterContent":"I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for your generous support of the Girls Just Want to Have Fun project. This initiative has been a passion of mine for the past three years, and it's with great excitement that I look forward to our upcoming event on September 22nd. Thanks to your kindness, we are able to continue providing a safe space for our young female students to explore what it means to be strong, independent young women.\r\n\r\nThis year's event will feature two incredible speakers who will address important topics such as female health and relationship responsibilities. Our goal is to empower the girls by discussing how to be supportive friends, how to navigate relationships safely, and most importantly, that they are never alone in their feelings as they grow up. Alongside these discussions, the students will create bags to hold menstrual supplies, which we hope will not only provide a practical resource but also serve as a symbol of the sisterhood we are building.\r\n\r\nI'm truly excited about the day ahead and cannot thank you enough for helping make it possible. This event would not have been achievable without your support, and I am incredibly grateful for your belief in our mission. Your generosity is empowering these young women to understand their value, their strength, and the importance of supporting one another.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping make Girls Just Want to Have Fun a reality.

It was amazing to see their enthusiasm as they connected science concepts to hands-on learning.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, our students are now preparing for an exciting robot competition between the two 6th-grade classes on our campus. This project has not only provided them with an opportunity to develop STEM skills but has also showcased the benefits of project-based learning for even the youngest students on our Jr./Sr. high school campus. Your support has been instrumental in demonstrating the incredible potential of junior high students in STEM fields.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for believing in our students and for making a difference in their educational journey.
