It sparked great conversations and set the tone for what we want this garden to represent on campus.\r\n\r\nWhen they received the items they were so excited! Several students immediately started talking about what they wanted to paint and sketching out ideas. The high quality paints, brushes, and supplies made them feel like real artists, and you could see their confidence grow as they realized how much creativity the materials allowed.\r\n\r\nNext, students will continue painting additional pavers to form a colorful pathway leading into the Kindness Garden. Once all the pavers are sealed and ready, we'll begin placing them in the garden area. Students are also brainstorming ways to incorporate more student-made art and kindness messages throughout the space. Thanks to your support, they feel empowered to continue building a welcoming area that will brighten our school community for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1759657953177,"projectUrl":"project/planting-kindness/9787053/","projectTitle":"Planting Kindness","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. V","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10298667_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759429801845","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10298667"},{"teacherId":3721748,"projectId":9704255,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous support of our classroom project, \"Cultivating Canes.\" Your contribution is making a meaningful difference in the lives of 18 special needs students.\r\n\r\nIt was truly heartwarming to see the excitement on their faces as they helped unpack the new classroom supplies. The goal of the \"Cultivating Canes\" project is to give students hands‑on opportunities to build essential life skills, and your support has made that possible. The students have already planted their first crops and will soon be harvesting tomatoes and squash. Watching them experience the full farm‑to‑table process—and then cook with the produce they've grown—is one of the greatest rewards of this program.\r\n\r\nThrough these activities, students are learning to make connections with healthy foods, develop cooking skills, and build habits that will support their well‑being for years to come. Your generosity has helped create a more interactive, engaging, and meaningful learning environment for them.\r\n\r\nI am deeply grateful for your support in helping us cultivate lifelong learners who will go on to make our world a better place.
