Your kindness is truly making a real difference. We could not have done this without you.\r\n\r\nThis initiative means so much to us, and it also shows our students how they, too, can make a difference in the lives of others through the gift of sharing their time and effort. Because of your generosity, students like them and families alike are being fed over the weekend with these donated nonperishable food items.\r\n\r\nWe are using the new resources to support a student-led service project focused on addressing hunger in our community. Students worked together to organize, sort, and prepare nonperishable food items for weekend distribution. One meaningful moment was watching students take ownership of the process carefully packing food bags and encouraging one another, knowing their efforts would directly help families like their own.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the materials, they were excited and proud. Many expressed gratitude and immediately began asking how they could help. Seeing the supplies made the project feel real to them, and it helped them understand that their actions could truly make a difference.\r\n\r\nBecause of our donors' generosity, students now have the opportunity to continue learning through service. Our next steps include reflecting on the impact of this project, discussing the importance of community support, and exploring additional ways to give back. Students will also connect this experience to lessons on empathy, responsibility, and leadership, helping them grow not only academically but also socially and emotionally.","fullyFundedDate":1763498719832,"projectUrl":"project/feeding-hope/9864700/","projectTitle":"Feeding Hope","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Biggs","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9240646_orig.jpg?crop=2567,2567,x510,y174&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1693508518155","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9240646"},{"teacherId":4769465,"projectId":9578421,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous contribution to our classroom! Your donation of headphones has made a tremendous difference for my third graders. Before, many students struggled to focus during online Iready lessons because of background noise or because they had to share headphones. Now, each student can fully concentrate on their learning, whether they're practicing reading fluency, working on math lessons, or listening to interactive activities. These headphones have helped create a calm and focused learning environment where every child can thrive.\r\n\r\nMy students were SO excited to receive their own headphones-- they felt proud and responsible for their new learning tools! For many of them, this was their first time having access to quality headphones that made online programs enjoyable instead of frustrating. Programs like I-Ready, Read works, Edpuzzle, and Flocabulary have become student favorites, and I've already seen a boost in engagement and confidence during independent work time. Thank you again for supporting our classroom and showing my students that their learning matters-- you've helped set them up for success this school year and beyond.","fullyFundedDate":1762265304368,"projectUrl":"project/helping-every-student-hear-success/9578421/","projectTitle":"Helping Every Student Hear Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Beasley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4769465_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1531782047452","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/magickidneytable"},{"teacherId":9240646,"projectId":9275288,"letterContent":"We are thrilled to express our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support of our wellness project.
