We will soon move into the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors. Students have used their supplies to sketch and reflect on the principal civilizations of Mexico. We are very excited to be half way through our first large art project - creating Paper Mache Alebrijes (spirit animals). These projects allow students to reflect on their personal and cultural identities and to honor them through art.\r\n\r\n Thank you so much for helping us be able to continue this class.

In the event of a severe emergency—whether from an accident, natural disaster, or violence—these supplies can mean the difference between life and death. Quick access to bleeding control tools, tourniquets, and trauma bandages allows immediate response before first responders arrive, giving injured students or staff a fighting chance. It empowers teachers and trained staff to act decisively, bridging the critical minutes that matter most.\r\n\r\nBeyond the practical life-saving capability, these supplies also bring a sense of reassurance to the classroom. Just knowing they are there can help reduce anxiety for students, staff, and families, reinforcing the idea that their safety has been considered and prioritized. \r\n\r\nWhile no one hopes to ever use them, the presence of these tools communicates preparedness, care, and a commitment to protecting the school community. In moments of crisis, this preparation becomes a powerful source of comfort and stability.","fullyFundedDate":1746787107416,"projectUrl":"project/every-second-counts-classroom-trauma-ki/9296915/","projectTitle":"Every Second Counts: Classroom Trauma Kit","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. C-Squared","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9018064"},{"teacherId":9219896,"projectId":7879111,"letterContent":"Thank you for helping my classroom get graphing calculators.

My students have expressed an excitement for reading that you don't see often out of such a wide variety of high school students. Students have said that the books that you've funded have shed new light on their own experiences, the experiences of their siblings, and have given them important considerations into their own choice to be a parent later in life. \r\n\r\nSome of the most memorable quotes from this experience have been; \r\n- \"I'm the only girl in a family of boys, I want to have an idea of what my brothers may be experiencing\"/ in reference to Decoding Boys By Cara Natterson\r\n- \"I feel like I'm emotionally intelligent but I feel like this book will help me even more\"\r\n- \"I like how this book makes becoming a first time father seem less daunting. Plus it's engaging to read\" \r\n- \"This book speaks to my experiences with trauma and how it's impacted me in a way that no one has been able to explain or understand before today\" \r\n\r\nPlease know that your generous donation is already having a positive impact on not only these students, they are impacting future generations of my students, potentially their future children of these students, and their relationships with their own families.
