Because of your thoughtful contribution, we were able to provide mental health kits to students and offer meaningful stress management opportunities that are already making a positive impact.\r\nHope Week is centered on promoting connection, resilience, and mental wellness. For many students, it can be difficult to know where to start when it comes to taking care of their mental health. The mental health kits you helped fund provided that starting point. Each kit was thoughtfully assembled with items designed to encourage self-care, grounding, and emotional regulation. From stress-relief tools to encouraging messages, these kits gave students something tangible to hold onto during overwhelming moments.\r\nThe response from students has been incredibly positive. Many shared that they felt seen, supported, and valued. Some students expressed that simply receiving a kit reminded them that their well-being matters and that there are people in their community who care about how they are feeling. For others, the items inside have already become part of their daily routines, whether that means using breathing cards before a test, journaling to process emotions, or keeping a calming tool in their backpack for stressful moments throughout the day.\r\nIn addition to the mental health kits, students are especially excited about the upcoming yoga sessions focused on stress management. Adolescence comes with academic pressure, social challenges, and the ongoing task of discovering identity and purpose. Providing students with healthy coping strategies, such as guided movement and mindfulness, equips them with lifelong tools to manage anxiety and regulate stress. Yoga offers a space for students to slow down, breathe intentionally, and reconnect with themselves in a supportive environment.\r\nMany of our students have never participated in yoga before, and they are genuinely looking forward to trying something new that promotes both physical and emotional wellness. Your funding has made it possible to bring this opportunity directly to them, removing barriers and ensuring access for all students who wish to participate.\r\nYour generosity does more than fund supplies or sessions. It sends a powerful message that our community believes in the importance of mental health and is willing to invest in proactive, preventative support for young people. Because of you, our students are learning that asking for help is brave, caring for themselves is important, and stress can be managed in healthy ways.\r\nWe are deeply grateful for your partnership and commitment to student well-being. Thank you for helping us create a Hope Week that truly lives up to its name. Your support is making a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of our students.","fullyFundedDate":1768771633082,"projectUrl":"project/mind-body-balance-tools-for-student-s/10036074/","projectTitle":"Mind, Body, Balance: Tools for Student Self-Care and Stress Relief","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Owens","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8109236"},{"teacherId":3767340,"projectId":10012947,"letterContent":"I truly can't thank you enough for supporting my classroom supplies drive.

My students were excited to see the collection of AP Physics C Mechanics and Physics 1 practice books, as well as an amazing set of children's books that bring complex topics like quantum physics to life in such an accessible and engaging way. As a science teacher, one of my goals is to help students not just learn formulas and theories, but to truly connect with the subject and reading plays a powerful role in that journey. Many of our students don't have access to these kinds of books at home, as they can be a bit expensive for some families. Now, they have the chance to dive into high-quality study materials and approachable, creative texts right in our classroom.\r\nEven though it's only the first week back, I've already seen how excited the students are. They've been borrowing the practice books to take home and study, eager to get a head start on mastering the material. It's amazing to see that level of motivation, especially knowing that these resources were made possible by donors like you. The children's books have sparked an entirely different kind of enthusiasm. My students were instantly drawn to them, and many were surprised by how effectively these books simplify difficult physics concepts while still being fun. They're now inspired and looking forward to our project in which they get to create their own children's books to teach physics. \r\nIn our classroom, reading isn't just about comprehension it is also about curiosity, problem-solving, and creativity. Whether they're preparing for college-level physics exams or exploring new ways to explain energy and motion, my students are growing into thinkers and strong communicators. Your support didn't just provide books. It opened doors and my students and I are so grateful. As we continue to grow our classroom library, I look forward to seeing more young minds light up with the joy of learning and a big part of that is thanks to you!","fullyFundedDate":1749764781453,"projectUrl":"project/physics-is-lit/9227281/","projectTitle":"Physics is LIT","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sanchez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7860909_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1620850676431","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/sanchj5"},{"teacherId":328084,"projectId":9058180,"letterContent":"I used the resources by laminating interactive deck of cards.

With the laminating pouches and containers, I will be able to keep the cards for future use without damage or having to replace them. \r\n\r\nAnother way I used the resource was to create a table of contents on the white board using painters tape. This organization helped students to know what they missed and was easy for me to update.

The ability to conduct real-time progress monitoring and provide immediate feedback during assessments on the iPad has been transformative. Students are more engaged during these activities, and the instant results allow for immediate clarification and adjustment of their understanding. When we meet to discuss their progress, the visual representation of their data on the iPad makes the information more accessible and less abstract, fostering a deeper understanding of their learning journey and their individual goals. Furthermore, using the iPad to deliver lessons with screen sharing capabilities allows me to present information in a dynamic and interactive manner, catering to different learning styles and keeping students actively involved as I circulate and provide individualized support.\r\n\r\nWithout a doubt, the most exciting aspect of the new technology for my students is the immediacy and interactivity it offers. They are thrilled to take assessments on the iPad, often asking for their results right away and showing genuine interest in the visual data we review together. The Apple Pencil adds another layer of engagement, allowing for more natural and intuitive interaction with educational apps and activities. I've seen particular students who were previously hesitant or disengaged during traditional progress monitoring tasks become much more receptive and even enthusiastic when using the iPad. For instance, one student, who often struggled with the format of paper-based assessments, now approaches iPad-based tasks with confidence and a sense of accomplishment, eagerly awaiting the immediate feedback. Another student, who benefits greatly from visual aids, is now more actively participating in data review meetings, pointing to specific areas on the screen and asking insightful questions.","fullyFundedDate":1739367638713,"projectUrl":"project/enhancing-progress-monitoring-for-studen/8904840/","projectTitle":"Enhancing Progress Monitoring for Students with Learning Disabilities through Technology","teacherDisplayName":"Coach Gibbs","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5977633_orig.jpg?crop=180,180,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1730220818867","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5977633"},{"teacherId":328084,"projectId":8942808,"letterContent":"My students loved the new resources!
