Being in a title one school, a lot of students don't have the minimum necessities for school. However, with your help, I was able to provide supplies to students who didn't have them. Things like pencils, headphones, paper, and more. I was also able to provide hands-on resources to help us learn about science more creatively. Small things like that can go a long way and ease the burden of stress off students and parents.

I gave my students the supplies as soon as they got here and they were thrilled! Being able to highlight important parts of the Civics articles and papers we read in class is great for the students. It gives them ideas of what to study when it comes to the tests and quizzes. When it comes to pencils, we go through them like crazy because along with reading, we take notes almost every day. It's important for the students to have the tools they need in order to pass the test at the end of the year. \r\nWe were able to use the craft sticks to make some crafts in order to make Civics come alive for them! They enjoyed doing that and using their imaginations! It was a blast for them! The Clorox wipes were also handy after that project! \r\nAs we get into cold season, the kleenex will come handy as well! \r\nMy classes and students thank you very much!","fullyFundedDate":1755694294470,"projectUrl":"project/supplies-supplies-oh-my/9488396/","projectTitle":"Supplies, Supplies, Oh My!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Berry","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3632117_orig.jpg?crop=640,640,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1553396921728","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/melissa-macgregor"},{"teacherId":3632117,"projectId":9483106,"letterContent":"I can't possibly thank you enough for the support you gave to my classroom. Having this project funded has probably been the most helpful. I taught ELA for most of my career and then at the end of last year I was asked to teach Civics. I had nothing! I had no idea what that entailed. So I was starting from scratch. Getting the posters and the bulletin board was amazing. I can now teach what we are studying and put a visual up for the students to see. This is just so helpful for them. \r\nWe turned some grievances from the Declaration of Independence into a text message to King George and they loved it. The kids got to color them and they looked amazing.

Our students live in one of the poorest communities in one of the poorest counties in Florida. Many times, their confidence and self esteem comes from participation in extracurricular activities. Many of my students improved their classroom performance in order to feel worthy of the support. Many others have obtained scholarships from their academic and athletic abilities. \r\n\r\nSeveral of my former students that you helped over the years are playing major college football, basketball and have even made it to the professional ranks in sports. Jamier Jones is a basketball player at Providence College, Lajohntay Wester is a professional football player with the Baltimore Ravens. Those are just a few. So the indirect impact of your support can be quantified. Again, many thanks. Without your support, I would not be able to provide my students the equipment and uniforms that have created the atmosphere of greatness.\r\n\r\nWhen they saw the new equipment and uniforms, it gave our students a strong sense of confidence.

This piqued their interest in how they could \"get some\" of them. In turn, this added to their excitement about checking out books. At the end of each orientation, I drew Exit Tickets and rewarded students with treats and prizes for having the correct answers. \r\n\r\nBy the end of the day, there were students ready to stay after school to check out books to begin their middle school reading journeys.
