The start of the school year is always a hectic time for students and their families. I am happy that we were able to provide some relief in the school supply shopping list this year. \r\n\r\nThe extra supplies also offer a bit more security should an emergency pop up. They know they have a central location that has most of the basic supplies they would need. \r\n\r\nI am also excited to share that the floor pillows have been a huge success. Not only does it give students a larger sense of autonomy over their space in the classroom because they can sit outside of the desks. But it also provides a more comforting aura for the class and if a students needs to reset they have something they can use to have their own space comfortably.","fullyFundedDate":1755719835026,"projectUrl":"project/headstart-to-sy-2026/9489874/","projectTitle":"Headstart to SY 2026","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Macias","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9186219_orig.jpg?crop=273,273,x177,y198&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1695394983571","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9186219"},{"teacherId":9186219,"projectId":9275747,"letterContent":"Our students have continued to use the donations to this project to feel confident in themselves.
