Your generosity has already made a tremendous impact on my students' motivation, confidence, and overall joy for learning.\r\n\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw all the materials, their excitement filled the room. They crowded around the table, pointing at everything, asking questions, and talking about which incentives they wanted to work toward. For many of them, positive reinforcement makes all the difference, and these materials give them something to look forward to every single day.\r\n\r\nThanks to your kindness, our classroom has become a place where students feel encouraged and capable. As we move into our next unit, we'll be using these incentives to motivate students through multi-step math tasks and writing activities. The resources help us celebrate small wins and build endurance—skills that are essential for their growth both academically and socially.\r\n\r\nWe are deeply grateful for your support. Because of you, my students have access to tools that help them learn, feel valued, and believe in themselves. Thank you for investing in them and for believing in the power of education.","fullyFundedDate":1763427101177,"projectUrl":"project/inspire-nourish-initiative/9896055/","projectTitle":"Inspire & Nourish Initiative","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Duhon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2048409_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y30&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1763489872679","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2048409"},{"teacherId":6544388,"projectId":9709628,"letterContent":"We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for generously donating to our project. Your contribution made it possible for our students to explore their creativity through the use of a digital camera. Because of your support, our students can now capture their learning, document special moments, and express themselves in new and exciting ways.\r\n\r\nThe digital camera has opened up new opportunities for our students to learn through creativity and hands-on exploration. They're using it to document classroom projects, capture moments during school functions, and create visual stories that reflect what they've learned. It helps them practice communication, collaboration, and digital literacy skills—skills that connect directly to real-world learning.\r\n\r\nOur students are most excited about being able to see their work come to life. They love taking turns behind the camera, experimenting with angles and lighting, and showing their classmates their photos. It's made learning feel more interactive and fun, and they take real pride in sharing their finished projects.\r\n\r\nSome of our quieter students have especially connected with the camera. It gives them a new way to express ideas and creativity without having to speak in front of a crowd. A few have even taken on the role of \"class photographer,\" helping to capture and organize photos for displays and presentations. It's wonderful to see them gaining confidence and finding joy in learning through this new tool.\r\n\r\nYour generosity helps inspire curiosity and creativity in every child—thank you for making a lasting impact!","fullyFundedDate":1758830622955,"projectUrl":"project/through-the-lens-bringing-learning-to-l/9709628/","projectTitle":"Through the Lens: Bringing Learning to Life8","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Taylor Luquette","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/taylor-luquette"},{"teacherId":10216526,"projectId":9641196,"letterContent":"The J.H.

The math program we use at school require my students to have ear buds while using. So many come to school without the earbuds that their classmates may have, and being able to provide them with a personal set warmed my heart and I hope it makes yours smile too. The resources donated helped way more than half the kids in my class with anxiety, or fidgeting, that sometimes gets them in trouble becuase they want to walk around, or talk and disrupt others has helped out so much. They loved being able to stay at their desks and use the rubber bands, or have the inflatable seats to rock on while sitting at their desks as well. The amount of disruptions decreased tremendously which meant I could teach longer and my students were most times working bell to bell. We absoluteley loved the growth mind set pendants. I still use them this year. They feel so special when they recieve one. So again, thank you, these things plus much much more were only able to happen becuase of donors like yourself. I only wish I could provide more for my students, but I was able to make school life better for majority of my students. God bless, and keep having a huge heart!","fullyFundedDate":1723585560379,"projectUrl":"project/exploring-hearing-mastering-succeedin/8412723/","projectTitle":"Exploring, Hearing, Mastering, Succeeding, Changing the World!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Babin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9551000_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755318771902","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-babin"},{"teacherId":6544388,"projectId":9564028,"letterContent":"First and foremost, thank you. Words alone cannot fully express our gratitude. If it weren't for your generosity, my paraprofessionals and I would have had to come out of pocket to provide these incentives for our students.\r\n\r\nAt our school, we are goal-oriented and focus on encouraging growth and a positive mindset in both academics and life. This philosophy carries into my classroom, where my students know that not every challenge in life comes with a reward. However, I strive to motivate and encourage them—especially through their most difficult assignments—to keep reaching new levels. Some of our biggest challenges include meeting benchmark assessment goals and achieving AR point targets, and the prizes you donated give my students the extra motivation they need to keep going.\r\n\r\nYour donations are not only practical, but also meaningful. The items are carefully chosen to match my students' interests, which makes them even more determined to earn them. Already, several students have reached their personal goals, and the look on their faces when they realize both the quality of the prizes and that their hard work made it possible is truly priceless.\r\n\r\nThank you again for supporting my classroom and investing in my students' success. Your kindness is making a real difference.","fullyFundedDate":1755720315030,"projectUrl":"project/progress-rewards/9564028/","projectTitle":"Progress Rewards","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Taylor Luquette","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/taylor-luquette"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_16038","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":374,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":82,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":54,"percentWhite":25,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"10.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":63.9,"schoolId":16038,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about J.H.
