Some families chose to move across the island and start over in a new community. At Haiku School we welcomed many students who had lost everything. In my class alone I had 5 families affected by the fires. Creating a safe, comfortable and cozy area filled with cushions, stuffed animals and art supplies was truly essential as well as greatly used. The students and families in my class were so grateful and felt so welcomed. They could see that there was a genuine effort to ensure they had a place to sit, take a break and if desired express their feelings with various art supplies. Your contributions helped make the possible. We will forever be grateful for making my cozy corner become a reality.","fullyFundedDate":1702581629145,"projectUrl":"project/a-peaceful-corner/8086528/","projectTitle":"A Peaceful Corner","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Plumley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1508601_orig.jpg?crop=397,397,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754596818108","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1508601"},{"teacherId":9807693,"projectId":8888248,"letterContent":"It has been an amazing 3 months since receiving your most generous donations for our classroom.

Just mere months ago she struggled to hold a crayon. Now she is drawing circles and the first letter of her name! The power of play is immeasurable. I hope you can see in the pictures the amount of concentration she is possessing to stay on task. \r\nThe biggest surprise was how much the older kids enjoyed the kitchen play set and food. This donation alone created massive opportunities of joint attention for our kids who struggle to connect socially. From the shape sorter to the counting and color sorting set, each toy has been vital to them learning the basic stepping stones of early childhood development.
