You have ended the war over pencils in my classroom. I no longer have to say, \"stop stealing my pencils!!\" and beg for my pencils back at the end of every period. Haha. On top of this, my students now have the materials to fulfill any projects requirements. They absolutely love going into those drawers and seeing ample materials for them to draw / write / work with for whatever they may need. \r\n\r\nAlso! I have been luckily able to laminate copies of ALL READINGS done in my classroom! This way, next year, I will have copies printed, laminated, and ready to go for my classes. Students do not have to worry about losing a copy, as it will always be in my room and accessible to them, and I no longer have to worry about my copies being destroyed or taken by accident!\r\n\r\nThank you so much.","fullyFundedDate":1769639714565,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-necessities-for-future-histori/10035676/","projectTitle":"Classroom Necessities for Future Historians","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kniffin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10161396_orig.png?crop=1169,1170,x0,y752&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754596744965","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10161396"},{"teacherId":9107586,"projectId":9954753,"letterContent":"As a teacher at a Title I school, your generosity has made a significant impact on my students. Although we ask parents to provide a wireless mouse for their child to use at school, many cannot afford the extra expense. This often results in students either lacking a mouse, sharing with classmates, or borrowing one from the teacher. The Chromebooks we use are outdated and beginning to fail, particularly the touchpads. This is extremely frustrating, as it can lead to students clicking on the wrong answers or disrupting their work. By donating the mice, storage bags, and the pocket chart, all my students now have access to a functioning mouse that is securely stored for long-term use. They understand that these items were given specifically for them, and they are taking excellent care of them, recognizing their responsibility. Again, thank you for your kindness and generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1766878163508,"projectUrl":"project/clicking-into-success/9954753/","projectTitle":"Clicking into Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cerda","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9107586_orig.jpg?crop=710,710,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757190414102","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/cerda232"},{"teacherId":9989178,"projectId":9245741,"letterContent":"We are very fortunate and appreciative that you were able to fund our project for our Volleyball season.

They thought it made them more unified, and the arm bands did wonders on their arms; no more bruises! \r\n\r\nAdditionally, the new equipment led to a decision to start a boys' volleyball team that will be starting this Spring. We have chosen our team, and with the same enthuseasum of the new equipment, we hope to win some tournaments!

Being that this is the first year my school has had a cheer team, I couldn't be prouder of the progress which we've made already. \r\n\r\nMy girls have been able to grow and learn safely with the ground stunting stand. Our flyer has improved SO much by being able to practice her balance without being all the way up in the air. Not only does this allow her to practice without fear, but it keeps the stunt group from tiring out by having to throw the same stunt a million times so that she can learn her balance. \r\n\r\nAlso, due to your donations, I have been able to provide my team with a uniform for practices. This makes our team not only look more cohesive but allows the kids to truly feel like a team every single time they practice. \r\n\r\nIn addition to all of this, I was able to give each and every student on my team a brand-new bedazzled bow, a bag to hold their cheer clothes during school, and socks for games. \r\n\r\nI know that with the materials you all have graciously donated towards, my team will be able to be the best they can be, while feeling confident, and looking their best.

The new printer, shredder, labeler, and storage bins have made a huge difference in our daily routines and projects.\r\n\r\nWe're using the printer to create student work samples, reading guides, and visual aids that support comprehension and creativity. The labeler and bins have helped us set up a clear classroom system for materials, making it easier for students to find what they need and take responsibility for keeping our space organized. The shredder is being used to safely discard outdated papers, helping students understand the importance of confidentiality and recycling.\r\n\r\nWhen I showed my students the new materials that I received from DonorsChoose, they were genuinely excited—especially about printing their own work and labeling their supplies. It gave them a sense of ownership and pride in their learning environment. One student even said, \"Now it feels like a real office in here!\"\r\n\r\nOur next step is to continue using these tools for upcoming reading and writing projects, where students will print, organize, and present their final work portfolios.
