My students were extremely excited to see a slushie machine and couldn't wait to put it to use! While the original idea was to raise funds through slushie sales for the Ronald McDonald House, your generosity allowed us to meet a very unexpected and urgent need in our school community. One of our students and her family lost their home in a house fire, and we were able to use the resources from this project to provide immediate support and relief for her.\r\n\r\nThe experience was a powerful lesson for my students—not only about the importance of service and fundraising, but also about compassion, flexibility, and coming together when someone in our community is hurting. Your contribution helped turn a fundraiser into a meaningful act of kindness that touched our entire classroom.\r\n\r\nAlthough the school term ended. I plan to use the supplies gifted to my classroom to continue helping students and families within our community. A new school year has started, and we will begin slushie sales soon. I have been placed in a new department. My new students will also be able to learn the importance of service and fundraising.","fullyFundedDate":1741897007488,"projectUrl":"project/slushies-for-a-cause-supporting-familie/9170344/","projectTitle":"Slushies for a Cause: Supporting Families for Ronald McDonald House","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Moody","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9968313"},{"teacherId":10003166,"projectId":9263421,"letterContent":"We appreciate you making hydration a priority for our students.
