I am a virtual teacher and whiteboards are essential to my classroom. Students are given one at the beginning of the year but things happen and they get misplaced and markers stop working. This donation will ensure that all students will always have a whiteboard and markers. The biggest obstacle I have it getting it to my students which is why I am waiting until a student needs one before I mail them out. I wanted to send pictures but obviously in my situation as a virtual teacher that is very difficult for me to provide. I am so thankful for all the generous donations that made this possible. This will help my students this year and in the years to come. I would like to say a special thank you to Mr. Mantlow and General Motors. Thank you for thinking of my students.","fullyFundedDate":1747018851562,"projectUrl":"project/whiteboards-for-students-to-learn-to-wri/9334909/","projectTitle":"Whiteboards for Students to Learn to Write","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Quattlander","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10027790"},{"teacherId":5260860,"projectId":8506213,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the donation of the wig, costume, and makeup supplies.
