Your support means more than words can express. We are currently in the middle of our novel study, The Lemonade War, and my students are absolutely loving it! The story brings out the quirky bond between two siblings along with their all too well known rivalries and my students can't wait to see what happens next. It's been so special watching them make connections, laugh, and truly enjoy reading. We also want to give a huge thank you for the rolling desk! I use it daily, and it has been such a game-changer. It allows me to move around the room freely and stay close to my students while teaching. I am able to keep them engaged and supported every step of the way.

It's nice for them to have a safe, screen-free way to explore ideas and learn more about art. They enjoy flipping through the pages, noticing details, and talking with classmates about what they discover.\r\n\r\nYour donation is making a big difference in our classroom.

Your unwavering commitment to enhancing educational environments has made a significant impact on our student's health and well-being.\r\n\r\nThe refrigerator has been a game-changer for our clinic, allowing us to store medications and perishable items safely. This ensures that our students receive timely and effective care when they need it most. The ability to provide fresh, healthy snacks has also been a wonderful addition, promoting better nutrition among our students and helping to keep them focused and energized throughout the school day.\r\n\r\nIn addition to the refrigerator, the medical supplies you provided have been invaluable. From first aid items to personal hygiene products, these items have equipped our clinic to address a variety of health needs. Our students now have access to the necessary resources to manage minor injuries and illnesses right on campus, which fosters a safer and more supportive learning environment.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your incredible support.

I often have trouble getting books from the library because of our tight schedule so being able to pick out books with ease is a relief. I read the Last Kids On Earth and the full series being available was perfect. Once again thank you very much.\" (7th grader)\r\n\r\n\"I just want to thank you for the books!

The books are of great quality and I enjoy this new book. I am very appreciative of your kindnessThank you so much!\"\r\n\r\nThe new additions to our class library have allowed us to create an actual reading corner! After a long day of learning you will often see our 5th graders come in first....they put their bookbag down in their chair, grab their snack, and then snuggle up with a book over in the corner. And then not to long after, the 7th and 8th graders come in and join them.\r\n\r\nThank you again and I hope this letter paints a solid picture of what your donation has done for the students.","fullyFundedDate":1733451376868,"projectUrl":"project/turning-pages-opening-worlds-our-middl/8768305/","projectTitle":"Turning Pages, Opening Worlds: Our Middle School Classroom Library Project","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Anthony","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9699025_orig.png?crop=999,1000,x0,y123&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724342557385","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9699025"},{"teacherId":9617288,"projectId":8533834,"letterContent":"I hope this message finds you well.
