Your contribution is helping us transform an unused closet into a centralized science storage room—a change that will make a world of difference for our middle school science department. With the addition of rolling shelves, we've begun organizing materials by unit and grade level, and the impact is already noticeable. Teachers can now quickly access supplies, which means more time for hands-on experiments and less time searching for equipment.\r\nOne memorable moment was when our science team first saw the new shelves installed. Their excitement was contagious—they immediately started brainstorming ways to use the space efficiently and even began planning upcoming labs that had previously felt impossible due to disorganization. This project is fostering collaboration among teachers and ensuring that students will have more opportunities for engaging, inquiry-based learning. Your generosity is creating a lasting impact on the quality of science education at our school, and we are deeply grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1757683158249,"projectUrl":"project/organized-science/9584921/","projectTitle":"Organized Science","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Schuettpelz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2028037_orig.jpg?crop=3767,3767,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651366115708","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-schuettpelz"},{"teacherId":2028037,"projectId":9521417,"letterContent":"I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous support in providing these incredible resources for our classroom. My students and I have already begun integrating them into our daily routines, and the impact has been immediate and meaningful. The calming corner, complete with the new rug and lap desk, has become a sanctuary for students who need a moment to reset. It's amazing to see how this space helps them return to learning with a clear mind and renewed focus.\r\nOne of my favorite moments was watching their faces light up when they first saw the new materials. They were thrilled to explore their Trusty Science Notebooks, eager to record observations and hypotheses like real scientists. During a recent experiment on CSO's, students used these notebooks to document every step, and the calming strips on the science kits helped them stay engaged and focused throughout the activity. Their curiosity and resilience truly shine when they have the right tools to support their learning.\r\nThank you for helping me create a classroom environment that is safe, inspiring, and organized. Your generosity has given my students not just resources, but opportunities to grow as scientists and as individuals. We are deeply grateful for your kindness and belief in their potential.","fullyFundedDate":1754325231712,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-basics/9521417/","projectTitle":"Classroom Basics","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Schuettpelz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2028037_orig.jpg?crop=3767,3767,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651366115708","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-schuettpelz"},{"teacherId":2028037,"projectId":8519612,"letterContent":"Our classroom has been buzzing with excitement ever since we received the new Stanley water jugs and microfiber cloths. The microfiber cloths have become an integral part of our daily routine, especially as we focus on environmental conservation. Instead of using paper towels to clean up spills, the students now reach for the reusable cloths, which has significantly reduced our waste. The Stanley water jugs have also been a game-changer, providing a constant supply of water for our experiments. This has allowed us to conduct more hands-on activities without the need for frequent trips to the bathroom to fill up beakers.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, their reactions were priceless. They were thrilled to see the Stanley brand, which is quite popular among middle schoolers. The excitement was palpable as they realized the convenience and efficiency these resources would bring to our classroom. The water jugs, in particular, were a hit because they eliminated the need to constantly run back and forth to the bathroom. This newfound convenience has made our lab sessions more productive and enjoyable.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we have several exciting projects planned that will make full use of these new resources. Our next steps involve diving deeper into environmental science, where the microfiber cloths will play a crucial role in teaching the importance of sustainability. Additionally, the Stanley water jugs will support our upcoming chemistry experiments, allowing us to explore more complex reactions and processes. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, our students are more engaged and enthusiastic about learning than ever before. We can't wait to share our progress and discoveries with everyone!","fullyFundedDate":1731512299004,"projectUrl":"project/bring-water-to-my-lab/8519612/","projectTitle":"Bring Water to My Lab","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Schuettpelz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2028037_orig.jpg?crop=3767,3767,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651366115708","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-schuettpelz"},{"teacherId":9338340,"projectId":8890340,"letterContent":"We are using the wobble stools, portable chairs and pillows as part of our flexible seating arrangement.
