My goal with this project was to be able to print out more work and opportunities to work with pen to paper. We have seen, just over the past three months, students' reading levels begin to rise a little at a time. We have also seen how to help students one-to-one with pencil grips and overcoming deficits due to a lack of spelling ability.\r\n\r\nOne would not think that going digital would have had as large an impact as it has. That being said, though, with AI, predictive spelling, spell check and more, students have not truly needed the skills to prepare for college and career after high school. The past three months of school, I have had the opportunity to work with students in a judgment-free zone that allowed me to provide hands-on opportunities for learning again. \r\n\r\nAs more and more districts are looking at digital formats of curriculum due to finances and ease of sending out to the students, you were able to give my classroom the gift of being able to go back to the time-tested method of working on paper with pen and pencil. I even have opportunities to see the kids' artistic talents again in the doodles on the sides of papers. Thank you for the opportunity.","fullyFundedDate":1790865649565,"projectUrl":"project/consumables-for-the-classroom-going-bac/10436795/","projectTitle":"Consumables for the Classroom: Going Back to Writing and Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nikki Warren","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7220298_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1596754481799","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7220298"},{"teacherId":7220298,"projectId":10210517,"letterContent":"Thank you for your donations to refill the school supplies for my classroom.

You were able to provide other supplies like paper, fun colored paper, pencils, laminator sheets, and more. \r\n\r\nThe students are not used to having others care for them or supply extras like special glittery colored pencils and crayons. The students take extra care with the items that come from donors like yourselves. They light up and smile when we talk about volunteerism and being a village, because they have seen it firsthand.\r\n\r\nWe are looking into starting our own community project around our school or students' neighborhoods for the Thanksgiving season.

We have seen the unfortunate side of ecosystems as they are balancing with the death of snails and a few fish. We have seen how fish will school together to make themselves look better. We have also seen how animals like turtles, snails, and fish can cohabitate in a place where none of them are eaten and all are thriving.\r\n\r\nThe students had so many questions about how the animals are shipped live and how we check for pH and nutrients within the tank. It has been a beautiful process to watch. Students have asked questions and had conversations about some of the neatest things they see within the tanks.

These items supported students from low-income, foster, and unaccompanied youth families who would not otherwise have access to food at times like evenings, weekends, and school breaks. \r\n\r\nStudents were so grateful to have a few more options other than what was provided for school breakfast and school lunch. It gave them just a little joy to have some of their favorite items that they enjoy eating because I was able to ask those students prior to ordering. It also helped students who arrived late to school who missed breakfast still have access to a little something before starting the day in class.

We had three students reading over the directions, unboxing materials and building together.

Your contribution has made a powerful and immediate impact on some of our most vulnerable young people—students who face housing instability, food insecurity, and significant day-to-day challenges.\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, we were able to create a fully stocked essentials pantry filled with socks, tights, T-shirts, hoodies, hairbrushes, menstrual products, and other items that many of our students struggle to access on their own. This space has quickly become a trusted resource where students can stop by, feel safe, and \"shop\" for what they need with dignity and without judgment.\r\n\r\nYour donation has done more than provide basic necessities—it has given our students a sense of stability, comfort, and support. These items help them feel confident coming to school, better able to focus on their learning, and reassured that someone cares about their well-being.\r\n\r\nOne of the most touching moments we've experienced since opening our pantry involved a former student who had graduated but found herself in a difficult situation. She returned to our school because she said it was the only place she knew would help her. She was able to select clothing and toiletries from our closet, reminding us that the impact of your generosity extends beyond our current students and continues to support young people even after they leave our halls.\r\n\r\nPlease know that your donation is making a real difference in the lives of students who need it most. You have helped create a resource that supports their dignity, fosters trust, and reminds them that their community believes in them.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and for helping us meet their essential needs in such a meaningful way.
