We have built it in to our schedule for students to have a snack midway between the start of school and their lunchtime. The kids certainly know and watch the clock for snack time. I had no idea how popular the Ritz crackers with peanut butter would be. They also really seem to love the Ritz crackers with cheese\r\n\r\nThe snacks help them maintain focus until lunch. They do get free breakfast at school so knowing that they have a snack coming up has been very beneficial for them.\r\n\r\nThank you for your continued support of students. Recognizing that helping students outside of strictly academic means is amazing.","fullyFundedDate":1725913164620,"projectUrl":"project/kids-are-hungry-help-them-help-their-br/8753011/","projectTitle":"Kids Are Hungry!

These materials have provided our Botany students with a unique and engaging opportunity to explore the natural world in a creative and hands-on way.\r\n\r\nWhen the supplies arrived, my students were absolutely thrilled. Many of them had never worked on a project like this before, and the excitement in the room was contagious as they began designing and assembling their moss terrariums. One memorable moment was watching their faces light up as they learned how moss can act as a natural air purifier and humidifier, turning their creations into both beautiful and functional pieces of living art.\r\n\r\nThis project has been especially impactful for students who don't often get the chance to engage in fun, hands-on learning experiences. It has sparked curiosity, creativity, and pride in their work. Looking ahead, students are planning to expand their knowledge by experimenting with different types of moss and exploring how these terrariums can be used in sustainable design. Your support has made all of this possible, and we are deeply grateful for the joy and learning you've brought to our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1715035091231,"projectUrl":"project/live-moss-terrariums-for-air-purificatio/8154000/","projectTitle":"Live Moss Terrariums for Air Purification, STEM, and Mental Health","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Leah","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7536628"},{"teacherId":7536628,"projectId":8576650,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of woodworking tools, including chisels, hand saws, and mallets. These resources have transformed our classroom into a space where students not only learn practical skills but also develop confidence, patience, and creativity.\r\n\r\nWhen the tools arrived, my students were thrilled and couldn't wait to get started. Many of them had never worked with professional-grade tools before, and their excitement was palpable as they explored the possibilities. One memorable project involved designing and crafting small wooden stools. Watching students carefully measure, cut, and assemble their creations—and seeing the pride on their faces when they completed their work—was truly inspiring.\r\n\r\nAs we look ahead, students are eager to tackle more complex projects that involve precision and creativity, such as building small tables or decorative items. These tools have allowed us to go beyond simple tasks, giving students the opportunity to problem-solve, work collaboratively, and take pride in their craftsmanship. Thank you for helping to make this incredible learning experience possible.

The materials you provided have been a wonderful addition, helping my students not only learn new skills but also spread kindness and positivity within our school community.\r\n\r\nSince receiving the materials, students have embraced button-making with enthusiasm and creativity. They've been using the buttons to send messages of hope and acceptance, particularly in support of the LGBTQ community. A heartwarming moment occurred when a group of students made buttons to give to classmates who seemed down or alone at lunch, inviting them to sit together and feel included. These small gestures have had a big impact, fostering a more welcoming and compassionate environment for everyone.\r\n\r\nStudents also love using the buttons for various events, including spirit week and family nights, showing off their school pride and individuality. As we continue, our next steps involve incorporating these buttons into larger projects that promote school-wide unity and amplify student voices.
