Your gift has already made a meaningful impact on our middle school community. When we had the first chance to use them the students were very excited for the new additions of games and the variety that they have not seen before! \r\n\r\nThese games have provided our students with fun, engaging opportunities to connect with one another, especially during indoor recess and times when other spaces are unavailable. They've helped foster important social skills—like cooperation, communication, and empathy—in a way that's both enjoyable and enriching.\r\n\r\nThe staff that supervise this time enjoyed watching the students engage meaningfully with each other and it was heart warming to watch very innocent and cooperative experiences between our students. The staff also jumped in at times to engage with these games as well which helps foster those important connections between teachers and students as well.","fullyFundedDate":1755878073503,"projectUrl":"project/game-time-for-growth-strengthening-soci/9453374/","projectTitle":"Game Time for Growth: Strengthening Social Skills and Peer Connections","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Purtell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10073747"},{"teacherId":9101585,"projectId":9300157,"letterContent":"My students absolutely loved reading Ghost as a class novel.

Your generosity provided a portable AC unit for my middle school classroom, and it's already making such a difference. With the hot and humid weather, my students can now focus and feel comfortable while learning. Your support is directly impacting their daily experience in such a positive way, and I'm so grateful.\r\n\r\nHaving a cool and comfortable classroom also helps regulate my students' moods and energy. Instead of becoming restless, tired, or distracted from the heat, they are calmer, more engaged, and better able to participate in lessons. The AC truly creates an environment where learning can thrive.\r\n\r\nThis gift will continue to benefit my students throughout the school year and for years to come.

On the third floor of an older building, our classroom used to get so hot and humid that it was hard to focus, especially in the afternoons. The first day we turned it on, my students literally sighed with relief — a few even cheered!\r\n\r\nNow, instead of being distracted by the heat, they can concentrate on their work and stay engaged throughout the day. One student told me, \"It finally feels like we can actually think in here!\" That small change has made a huge difference in their energy and motivation.\r\n\r\nWith a more comfortable environment, we're able to dive deeper into our lessons without the constant struggle of the temperature wearing us down.
