Your generosity has made an immediate and meaningful impact on my students, who are the heart of our business program. They are innovative, collaborative, and eager to take on real-world challenges, and your contribution has helped create an environment that truly supports their growth.\r\n\r\n With the resources you provided, my students now have tools that elevate both their organization and their engagement as they prepare for their ESB certification. The folders have become a daily staple; helping students keep track of notes, journals, and weekly checklists while breaking down complex concepts into manageable steps. Students also love the swivel chair, which offers a flexible seating option that keeps them comfortable and focused during class. Even the refreshed bulletin board décor has added energy and pride to our space, giving students a motivating environment to walk into each day.\r\n\r\n Because of your kindness, my students now have a more organized, adaptable, and inspiring classroom. These resources will continue to support them as they build the habits and skills that will shape their future careers. We are truly grateful for your support and investment in their success.","fullyFundedDate":1755521923081,"projectUrl":"project/from-chaos-to-control-organizational-sk/9456987/","projectTitle":"From Chaos to Control: Organizational Skills for Business Innovation","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kaylin Johnson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9610819_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722065492528","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9610819"},{"teacherId":10005151,"projectId":9276124,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations.
