Because of your contribution, my students now have access to resources that are already making a meaningful difference in their daily learning experience.\r\n\r\nThanks to your funding, my classroom received standing desks with stools, giving students the option to stand during class. This has been especially beneficial for my students who struggle with attention and focus. Having the ability to stand, move appropriately, and \"get their wiggles out\" has helped them stay engaged, focused, and more comfortable during lessons.\r\n\r\nThe impact has been immediate and noticeable. Students are more attentive, energized, and motivated to participate, and the flexible seating has helped create a more inclusive learning environment that supports different learning needs and styles.\r\nYour support goes far beyond the desks themselves. It sends a powerful message to my students that their education matters and that there are people and organizations who believe in their success. This encouragement has had a lasting and positive effect on our classroom community.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of my students and myself, thank you for your generosity and commitment to education. We are truly grateful for your support and the difference you have made in our classroom. David's legacy will live on, not only in my classroom but also in my heart. David was a classmate of my husband and a friend to all who knew him. He is dearly missed by all who were blessed to know him.\r\n\r\n\r\nWith sincere appreciation,\r\n\r\nJessica Schroeder\r\nSpecial Education Teacher\r\nEscanaba Junior High School","fullyFundedDate":1764680450595,"projectUrl":"project/standing-desks-focused-students/9912015/","projectTitle":"Standing Desks = Focused Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Schroeder","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10358549"},{"teacherId":8105148,"projectId":9491920,"letterContent":"Thank you for the writing supplies for the Writing Club.

They used it immediately, and were so happy to have a table that was light and easy to take out of the storage room, and that was not warped on one end. I can assure you, there were smiles all around that table.\r\n\r\nAgain, thank you so very much for your contribution to our FLL team.
