I teach an amazing group of students who are truly curious about the natural world and are eager to make true connections with their peers. Because of your donation, we are able to create an environment where both needs and desires can be met in one atmosphere- our \"Love the Blue\" club. In this club we invite students of all abilities to participate and support them with social skills instruction so that they can participate with their general education peers. General education peers are taught how to interact and appreciate the strengths that their counterparts may have and learn to work with them inclusively. I appreciate you providing us with this donation to allow us this opportunity.","fullyFundedDate":1773080007498,"projectUrl":"project/developing-compassion-for-our-fellow-man/10084530/","projectTitle":"Developing compassion for our fellow man, animals and planet!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cooksey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9884909_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1769252090189","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9884909"},{"teacherId":9884909,"projectId":10114290,"letterContent":"Thank you for your gracious donation to my classroom! My students were thrilled to see the buckets, grabbers, gloves, wagon and recycling and trash bags arrive so that they could give back to our community. Our first clean up started small with our own school after our end of year field day. The students felt a huge sense of pride and stewardship caring for our campus and our school community by making sure that the litter wouldn't make its way further into the ecosystem. These materials helped us meet our commitment to the Guy Harvey Foundation, which allowed our students to explore the natural world through immersive field trips. I appreciate you supporting our class become more involved citizens and we look forward to bigger and more impactful community cleanups!","fullyFundedDate":1773428701007,"projectUrl":"project/help-my-students-give-back-through-local/10114290/","projectTitle":"Help my students give back through local clean ups!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cooksey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9884909_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1769252090189","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9884909"},{"teacherId":9884909,"projectId":9938301,"letterContent":"I want to emphasize that the items that were sent to us aren't just \"snacks.\" They aren't just things that were handed out arbitrarily to keep the students quiet or busy. We are a Title 1 school, meaning that a large portion of our students come from homes that are living in poverty. The items that you graciously donated to our classroom were sent just after the November 2025 government shut down, when these families were affected by the cessation of food stamps, and many families were still reeling from the rippling effects of having those supports removed from their families. In our unit, we held both a Thanksgiving and a Christmas dinner for our students, and it was our unit that raised the most donations for the Thanksgiving Food Drive as many of our students were directly benefiting from those donations. \r\nHaving these food items in class allowed my self-contained special needs students to find a place of solace in a time of unsurety. Our classroom was a place of comfort and safety beyond what it normally is. They didn't have to try to \"power through\" their hunger, they were able to solve it. I was able to teach many of them life skills, such as how to use a microwave to prepare these items independently, and we were able to send some of these items home with them over the weekend to supplement the food they had access to at home.","fullyFundedDate":1766067649629,"projectUrl":"project/meeting-basic-needs-to-build-better-acad/9938301/","projectTitle":"Meeting Basic Needs to Build Better Academic and Behavior Skills","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cooksey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9884909_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1769252090189","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9884909"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_70543","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":655,"numTeachers":44,"percentFrplEligible":50,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":10,"percentWhite":44,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":37,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":66.7,"schoolId":70543,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Centennial Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Centennial Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/pasco-county-school-district/centennial-middle-school/70543"}
