In all of my classes there are students who will rush in to lay their claim on for the day on that corner. The lighting also makes a huge difference. The addition of lamps with a softer yellow glow makes it much nicer to be in my classroom as I am not forced to use the harsh overhead lighting.","fullyFundedDate":1728250866690,"projectUrl":"project/creating-a-cozy-and-comfy-classroom/8845415/","projectTitle":"Creating a Cozy and Comfy Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Cook","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9785982"},{"teacherId":9778489,"projectId":8821636,"letterContent":"We are writing to express our gratitude for your generous contribution to Oakland FlexTech High School. Thanks to your support, we were able to provide T-shirts and vinyl for Project Lit, which has made a meaningful impact on our students and school community. The T-shirts have not only given Project Lit a distinct and recognizable identity but have also fostered a sense of pride and belonging among our students. This visibility has inspired more students to engage with the initiative and join in its mission of promoting a love for reading and literacy.\r\n\r\nWith your help, Project Lit now has an ambassador leading the charge, encouraging students to set and achieve their reading goals. The program has seen tremendous growth, with students actively reading and tracking their progress. The excitement surrounding Project Lit is palpable, and it has created a vibrant reading culture in our school.

It's a great way to get get our question of the day/week involved in a different way. I use the Bluetooth speaker on work days. We will either play music or I will put a calming YouTube video on and play it through the speaker. My treat box ran out within the 1st month or so. I had a lot of students grabbing stuff in the morning and before they would leave for home, which I expected. Myself, like my students don't like the fluorescent lighting.

First of all, I have had so many students benefit from the breakfast bars. I have multiple students stop in daily, many of whom I know do not get the nutrition that they need at home. I even sent a couple of students home with some extras over break to ensure they had a little extra to eat.\r\n\r\nThe activities were a big hit. I did both of the leadership activities with my advisory classes and they asked to do more of them. I loved seeing that group of students come together and I can't wait to use it more with other groups.\r\n\r\nLastly, I appreciate the balloons for my balloon club. As you can see, my students love learning how to make new creations and share them with the school and community. I even had a group of students go with me to an outside of school event for Halloween and hand out balloon animals.\r\n\r\nThanks again as I could not have made this all happen without your donation.","fullyFundedDate":1727360816834,"projectUrl":"project/building-community-through-fun-and-games/8818278/","projectTitle":"Building Community Through Fun and Games","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Wheaton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9776804"},{"teacherId":9780449,"projectId":8830367,"letterContent":"On behalf of the students and staff at Oakland FlexTech High School, I want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous support in helping us establish our esports team.

Many of my students face challenges that make it difficult to stay engaged, especially when they're tired or out of energy. A small boost from a snack or mint has already made a big difference, helping students recharge and refocus. This simple addition has become one less thing for them to worry about and has allowed them to concentrate fully on their learning.\r\n\r\nBeyond snacks, the materials funded by this project have transformed our classroom into a more inviting and supportive space. Items like mood lighting, fidgets, and flexible seating have fostered an environment where students feel comfortable, focused, and ready to learn. These enhancements not only support mental health but also create the best atmosphere for engaging with important lessons about finance—an essential life skill.\r\n\r\nBy making our classroom more welcoming and adaptable to each student's needs, your support has made it easier for students to embrace new experiences, stay engaged, and develop a genuine excitement for learning. The positive energy in our classroom is palpable, and it's all thanks to you.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in this project and for helping to make our classroom the best it can be. Your generosity has shown my students that their mental health matters, their comfort is important, and their success is achievable.","fullyFundedDate":1727193009934,"projectUrl":"project/mental-health-matters-in-this-classroom/8815110/","projectTitle":"Mental Health Matters in This Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Butman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9774696_orig.jpg?crop=2299,2299,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727111778658","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9774696"},{"teacherId":9774316,"projectId":8814520,"letterContent":"I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the generous gifts of puzzles, plants, fidgets, and books that you provided for our students.
