Your donations of pencils, markers, paper, hygiene supplies, candy, and other items mean more than you may realize. Many of our students come from families already carrying heavy financial burdens, and having these essentials available in the classroom helps ease some of the pressure that comes with preparing for a new school year. Knowing students can walk into class with access to basic supplies, even deodorant wipes when personal hygiene items may not be available at home, helps create a space where they can focus on learning, feel cared for, and keep their personal dignity.\r\n\r\nI'm also especially excited to use the candy and small rewards to encourage participation, celebrate effort, and build a stronger classroom community. Sometimes even small treats become the biggest motivators, helping students feel seen, valued, and excited to engage. Your support is helping create not just a stocked classroom, but a welcoming environment where students feel safe, supported, and encouraged to do their best. Thank you for investing in our students and for making such a meaningful difference in their everyday lives.","fullyFundedDate":1778262226811,"projectUrl":"project/start-us-off-right/10092786/","projectTitle":"Start Us Off Right!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lawsen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2768280_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1501696664620","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2768280"},{"teacherId":2768280,"projectId":10092603,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the wonderful books you donated to our classroom library.

These books are especially meaningful because they include main characters who are people of color, LGBTQ, immigrants, and people from many different backgrounds. For many of my students, it is powerful to open a book and see characters who look like them or share similar life experiences. For a lot of them, it will be the first book they're ever excited to read. \r\n\r\nYour donation is helping create a classroom where every student feels seen and valued. These stories will help students build empathy, learn about different points of view, and grow their love for reading.
