Your generosity has made a real difference in our classroom, and I wanted to share the impact you've had on my students.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials arrived, my students were in awe. The excitement in the room was contagious — some couldn't stop smiling, others clapped, and a few even asked if they could take their new supplies home to show their families. For many of my students, this was the first time they had access to high-quality, colorful materials of their own. Your donation didn't just provide supplies — it gave them a sense of pride and ownership in their work.\r\n\r\nWe recently completed a creative writing and art integration project where students wrote poems and short stories inspired by their own lives and illustrated them using the new supplies. Markers, crayons, gel pens, and colored pencils allowed them to add vivid detail and personality to their creations. One student said, \"This is the best my work has ever looked!\" It was a powerful reminder of how the right tools can unlock imagination and confidence.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we're planning a \"Culture & Color Showcase,\" where students will use what they've learned to create visual presentations of their heritage and community stories. These projects will involve writing, research, and artistic expression — all supported by the resources you helped provide. Thanks to you, our classroom is now a brighter, more engaging space where every student feels empowered to share their voice.","fullyFundedDate":1716407660997,"projectUrl":"project/creative-minds-of-colors/8283281/","projectTitle":"Creative Minds of Colors","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stapleton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7950834_orig.png?crop=1080,1080,x0,y298&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746060224884","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/missjanyce"},{"teacherId":9743089,"projectId":8764602,"letterContent":"I am incredibly grateful for your generosity in providing our classroom with a new printer through DonorsChoose. Your support is making a meaningful impact on my students' learning experience every day.\r\n\r\nTechnology plays a vital role in education, and this printer is helping my students in so many ways. It allows us to print engaging learning materials, interactive worksheets, and creative student projects, making lessons more dynamic and accessible. Having immediate access to printed resources fosters collaboration, encourages independent learning, and helps students take ownership of their work.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for my students is the ability to bring their ideas to life. Whether it's colorful visuals for presentations, printed research reports, or personalized learning packets, they love seeing their hard work materialize in a tangible way. It has also encouraged them to be more engaged in their assignments, knowing they can produce high-quality work to share and display.\r\n\r\nOne student in particular, Linda, has truly embraced this new technology. As someone who thrives with hands-on learning, they now eagerly print and organize their work, taking pride in each completed assignment. Another student, who previously struggled with written tasks, has found motivation in being able to print and edit drafts, making writing feel less overwhelming and more rewarding.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has not only provided a valuable tool but has also inspired and empowered my students.

Your generous donation of essential supplies has already made a noticeable difference in the daily lives and learning experiences of my students. These tools are more than just materials — they're building blocks for confidence, creativity, and success.\r\n\r\nWhen the boxes arrived, the excitement in the room was overwhelming. Students gathered around with wide eyes and eager hands, asking, \"Are these really for us?\" For many of them, having access to basic materials like pencils, notebooks, markers, and organizational tools isn't something they take for granted. The joy and appreciation on their faces was a powerful reminder of how much these essentials matter.\r\n\r\nWe recently used the supplies during a class-wide collaborative writing and project-based learning unit, where students created character journals and visual storyboards. The new materials allowed them to organize their thoughts, take ownership of their work, and add visual detail in ways they couldn't before. One student shared, \"I feel like a real author now.\" These kinds of moments would not have been possible without your support.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we're using these essentials to support everything from group reading projects to math stations and science reflections. Having these consistent tools ensures that every student — regardless of their background — is set up for success each day. Thanks to you, our classroom is better equipped, more inclusive, and more inspiring than ever before. Your kindness is helping our students thrive, and we're so grateful for the peek you've taken into our world.","fullyFundedDate":1726698241058,"projectUrl":"project/students-classroom-needs/8547778/","projectTitle":"Students' Classroom Needs","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stapleton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7950834_orig.png?crop=1080,1080,x0,y298&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746060224884","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/missjanyce"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_18605","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":221,"numTeachers":18,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":90,"percentWhite":7,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"4 - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"12.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":29.4,"schoolId":18605,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Holly Springs Intermediate School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Holly Springs Intermediate School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/mississippi/holly-springs-school-district/holly-springs-intermediate-school/18605"}
