Your donation was able to help 22 students have a wonderful school year. Students were able to have all the supplies they needed to be successful in the classroom and it has a positive impact on their learning. We read some amazing books, and students came in each day with a positive attitude ready to learn because they knew they had what they needed to be successful.

Simple things like having working markers, fresh poster board, and individual folders made a huge impact. One student held up a new binder and said, \"Now I actually know where everything is!\" That sense of ownership and organization has truly helped them feel more confident and ready to learn. The snacks have also been a quiet but powerful support—students who come to school hungry now have one less barrier to overcome, and you can see the difference in their focus and energy throughout the day.\r\n\r\nOne specific moment that stands out was during a group project where students created visual presentations using the new construction paper and poster boards. Instead of scrambling for supplies or sharing worn-out materials, each group had exactly what they needed to bring their ideas to life. The creativity and pride they showed in their work was a direct result of having the right tools at the right time. As we move forward, we're continuing to build routines around independence and self-management—skills that are supported by the structure your generosity helped create. Your donation didn't just provide supplies; it helped us build a classroom where students feel cared for, capable, and ready to grow.","fullyFundedDate":1750077348716,"projectUrl":"project/tools-to-thrive-setting-up-for-student/9406634/","projectTitle":"Tools to Thrive: Setting Up for Student Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rousseau","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10053658_orig.jpg?crop=360,360,x0,y88&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749916590639","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10053658"},{"teacherId":4106722,"projectId":9378528,"letterContent":"Our classes our so grateful for you support.

Your generous support has made a lasting impact on our diverse community of readers here at the Everett Elementary in Dorchester, MA.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, our once makeshift reading space is now well on its way to becoming a vibrant, student-centered environment where learning feels joyful, purposeful, and accessible. The addition of functional storage has brought a much-needed sense of order and calm to our space, allowing students to focus more easily and take ownership of their materials. Even more importantly, the decodable books and multisensory reading tools you helped provide are already supporting our students—especially those with reading challenges—as they build confidence and fluency, one page at a time.\r\n\r\nOur learners come from many cultural and linguistic backgrounds, and many face systemic barriers to accessing quality literacy instruction. But when they walk into our Reading Oasis now, they're met with tools that honor their learning styles, spark curiosity, and make reading feel achievable.\r\n\r\nYour kindness is helping change the trajectory of our students' lives by giving them the foundational literacy skills they need to succeed—not just in school, but in the world beyond it. Thank you for believing in them, and in the power of a well-equipped learning space to unlock potential.","fullyFundedDate":1713830736788,"projectUrl":"project/furnish-the-future-equipping-our-new-re/8297620/","projectTitle":"Furnish the Future: Equipping Our New Reading Haven","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lally","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8780953_orig.jpg?crop=643,643,x571,y153&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1712201144725","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-lally"},{"teacherId":4106722,"projectId":8998803,"letterContent":"The bins are great because we were able to organize our grade level activities in color bins.

Because of your donation, our 4th-grade class now has a large, cozy rug that has completely transformed our learning space. It may seem like a simple addition, but this rug has already made an incredible difference in our daily routine, providing a comfortable, inviting place where students can gather, collaborate, and engage in learning together.\r\n\r\nBefore we had this rug, our whole-class meeting area was not nearly as inviting, and it was challenging to create a shared space where students felt comfortable sitting for discussions, read-alouds, and group work. Now, students eagerly transition to the rug for morning meetings, partner reading, and math discussions. One of my students, who often prefers to work alone at a desk, has even started choosing to join the class on the rug because it feels like a welcoming and inclusive space. Seeing this shift has been a heartwarming reminder of the impact a comfortable and safe environment can have on learning and participation.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has not only provided a rug—it has given my students a sense of community and belonging. They now have a space where they can share their ideas, build relationships, and engage in meaningful conversations. This rug will continue to be an essential part of our classroom for years to come, creating a positive and supportive atmosphere for many students beyond this school year.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and for making our classroom a more engaging and comfortable place to learn.
