When the boxes arrived, I tucked everything away in my classroom closet. Later that day, I opened the door to reveal shelves full of snacks and the reaction was priceless. There were actual gasps, wide eyes, and a moment of complete awe.\r\n\r\nThe snacks have already become a powerful motivator in our classroom as well. I told my students that I would spin a wheel of names for those who were on task and doing what they were supposed to do to earn a treat. The change was instant—students sat up straighter, focused their attention, and showed me they were ready to learn. It was amazing to see how something so simple could encourage responsibility, effort, and positive behavior in such a meaningful way.\r\n\r\nPlease know that your support goes far beyond food. You are helping create a classroom environment where students feel supported, motivated, and valued. I am incredibly grateful for your generosity and for the care you've shown my students. Thank you for making a real difference in our day-to-day learning and for putting so many smiles on so many faces.","fullyFundedDate":1766067686637,"projectUrl":"project/helping-6th-graders-stay-focused-one-sn/9961664/","projectTitle":"Helping 6th Graders Stay Focused, One Snack at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Wibel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8583940_orig.png?crop=1154,1154,x0,y338&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1766021368785","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8583940"},{"teacherId":8951883,"projectId":9448199,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to my Donors Choose Project! My students were very excited to help open all the boxes and organize all our amazing school supplies for the year. All of the supplies have been going to great use in my classroom. Here are some examples:\r\nThe brown paper bags and Hershey's chocolate make discreet feminine product baggies for my girls. The girls in my school know I have these and come to my room all the time asking for one. I have students who cannot afford deodorant, so having spray deodorant in my cabinets for them to use help them concentrate more on school and less on how they smell. It is the same concept with the breakfast bars. The students love using the broom and dust pan to help keep our classroom clean. \r\n\r\nOverall, this funded project was able to help my students get the supplies they need and cannot afford, help me create differentiated and fun learning activities, and help me stay organized and on top of things, which contributes to a positive working environment. I am so thankful that you funded my project. \r\n\r\nStay wonderful!","fullyFundedDate":1752586569082,"projectUrl":"project/supplies-for-title-i-classroom/9448199/","projectTitle":"Supplies for Title I Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Maas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8951883_orig.jpg?crop=2188,2188,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1712757989514","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/marrs-show-choir"},{"teacherId":9690425,"projectId":8678279,"letterContent":"I wanted to send my heartfelt thanks for your incredible support of our band program through your generous donation of tuners, reeds, and much-needed supplies. These items might seem small on paper, but they make a huge impact in our rehearsal room every single day.\r\n\r\nThanks to your help, my students now have the tools they need to tune accurately, play confidently, and grow as musicians. For many of them, access to quality supplies isn't something they can count on outside of school so your donation not only helps them musically but also shows them that there are people out there who believe in their success.\r\n\r\nWe are a Title I school, and many of our students face financial challenges that make it difficult to purchase even the most basic supplies on their own. Because of your generosity, every student now has access to the tools they need to succeed regardless of their circumstances. \r\n\r\nYour donation didn't just fill a supply gap, it created equity in our classroom and allowed our students to focus on making music rather than worrying about what they didn't have.\r\nThank you again for your kindness and support.

They actively get up and grab one on a regular basis to remove the rosin dust left on their instruments. They also are learning to be more independent by tuning their instruments daily by themselves. They are only asking for help now when they have strings that are really out of tune! \r\n\r\nSome students have been able to use the Kun shoulder rests and they like those more than the sponges we were using as it allows them to have better posture. We will definitely be looking to get more of those as they make the students feel better and more confident about their playing. \r\n\r\nWe already had our recruitment concert back in February but are excited to use the Broadway Favorites book to play some familiar tunes for the elementary school students next year. Ironically, one of my classes asked to play the theme from Phantom of the Opera and it is in the Broadway book so we will be playing that for our final concert in May! \r\n\r\nI look forward to seeing my program grow and am so appreciative of the materials you helped us get for the classroom!
