Because of your generosity, my students will now have access to meaningful prizes and incentives that will bring extra excitement and joy into our classroom. In a Title I school like ours, where many children face challenges outside of school, these small but powerful rewards make a huge difference. They help my students stay motivated, celebrate their achievements, and feel proud of their hard work.\r\n\r\nEach day, I see my students striving to learn, even when it isn't always easy. Many of them are balancing school with responsibilities at home, or navigating obstacles that no child should have to face. When they know there is something fun to look forward to—whether it's a small prize, a class challenge, or a token of recognition—their effort grows. The sparkle in their eyes when they earn something is about so much more than the item itself. It represents accomplishment, perseverance, and the belief that their hard work matters.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, I now have the ability to offer prizes that are engaging and meaningful. These rewards will be used not just for academics, but also for positive behavior, kindness, teamwork, and responsibility. I want my students to see that every part of who they are can be celebrated, not just test scores or grades. When a child receives a prize for showing kindness to a peer or going above and beyond to help, it builds their confidence and creates a ripple effect of positivity throughout the classroom.\r\n\r\nYour support also sends an important message to my students: that there are caring people in the world who believe in them, even if they have never met them. For children in underserved communities, that message of encouragement can be life-changing. It helps them feel seen, valued, and supported. I know my students will carry this feeling with them, long after the prize is in their hands.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of myself, my students, and our school community, thank you for investing in us. Your generosity is not only funding supplies—it is fueling hope, joy, and motivation in young learners who need it most. I wish you could be there to witness the smiles, the laughter, and the pride that your donation will create. Please know that you are making a real and lasting impact in the lives of children who are eager to learn and grow.\r\n\r\nWe are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1730240935307,"projectUrl":"project/prizes-help-motivate/8899711/","projectTitle":"Prizes Help Motivate!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dewan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7561446_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1693704061320","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7561446"},{"teacherId":7561446,"projectId":8556435,"letterContent":"Dear Amazing Donors,\r\n\r\nI am deeply grateful for your generous support in funding our STEM project at our rural Title I school. Your kindness has opened doors for my students that might otherwise have remained closed due to limited resources.

Your donation has made a profound impact not only on my classroom, but also on the hearts of the children who walk through its doors each day. At our small, rural Title I school, resources are often limited, and opportunities like this are few and far between. That's why your support means more than I can fully express in words.\r\n\r\nWhen I submitted this project, I hoped — but wasn't sure — that someone out there would understand the need and want to help. What I didn't expect was the overwhelming generosity from people who may never meet my students, but still believe in the power of education and the importance of equity. You saw a need, and you responded with kindness and action. That is incredibly powerful.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, my students now have access to materials and tools that will significantly enrich their learning experiences. Whether it's hands-on supplies that bring abstract concepts to life, books that spark their imaginations, or resources that allow them to work collaboratively and creatively, each item you helped provide will be used with intention, care, and deep appreciation. These aren't just school supplies — they are building blocks of confidence, curiosity, and joy in learning.\r\n\r\nTeaching in a rural area comes with both beautiful community connections and unique challenges. Many of my students face economic hardships at home, and the classroom often becomes a second home — a place of stability, creativity, and discovery. Your support helps create an environment where they can feel valued, capable, and inspired. They know that someone, somewhere, believed they were worth it — and that message is priceless.\r\n\r\nOne of the most rewarding things I get to witness as a teacher is the excitement on a child's face when they use something new in the classroom — not just because it's \"cool\" or different, but because it helps them understand something in a new way. Thanks to you, I've already seen that spark — and I know there's more of it to come.\r\n\r\nI want you to know that your generosity will have a ripple effect far beyond the immediate future. These materials will benefit not only my current group of students, but many classes in the years to come. You have helped plant seeds that will continue to grow, and I will make sure that your gift continues to be put to good use every single day.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in us, for standing behind educators, and for giving children in rural communities the tools they need to thrive. Your kindness is making a real and lasting difference.","fullyFundedDate":1732897133469,"projectUrl":"project/more-math-and-ela-materials/8586905/","projectTitle":"More Math and ELA Materials","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dewan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7561446_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1693704061320","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7561446"},{"teacherId":7561446,"projectId":8267038,"letterContent":"I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your generous support of our STEM-focused classroom project. Your contribution made a powerful impact on my students, many of whom come from underserved rural communities where access to hands-on STEM materials is often limited or non-existent. Because of your kindness, these bright young learners now have tools in their hands that spark curiosity, inspire discovery, and open doors to a world of possibility.\r\n\r\nBefore this project was funded, many of my students had never worked with real STEM manipulatives—no snap circuits, no coding bots, no building kits. Their understanding of science, technology, engineering, and math was largely limited to textbook pages or online videos. But thanks to your donation, they are now doing, not just watching. They're building, testing, troubleshooting, and collaborating—real-world skills that will benefit them far beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nYou brought excitement and engagement into our learning space. Watching their faces light up as they explored how circuits work, created simple machines, and coded their first lines of instruction was priceless. One student said, \"I didn't know science could be this fun!\" That joy of discovery is exactly what I hoped for when creating this project—and you made it happen.\r\n\r\nThese materials are more than just educational tools. In our rural setting, where many students face economic and social challenges, they represent opportunity and equity. They allow students to experience the same kinds of hands-on, inquiry-based learning that kids in well-funded schools take for granted. You've helped level the playing field.\r\n\r\nYour generosity also sparked deeper conversations in our classroom—about careers in STEM, about inventors and engineers, about solving real problems in our community. One of my students now says she wants to be a robotics engineer. Another wants to design apps that help people with disabilities. That's the kind of long-term impact your gift can have—it plants seeds of inspiration that grow into lifelong dreams.\r\n\r\nAnd it's not just this class that benefits. These STEM resources will be used year after year, helping many future classes explore science and engineering in engaging, meaningful ways. You've made an investment not just in one project, but in a new culture of learning that will thrive in our school for years to come.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you. Your kindness and belief in our students show them that their dreams matter and that people care about their futures—even from far away. In our classroom, your donation wasn't just felt—it was celebrated.","fullyFundedDate":1720298132108,"projectUrl":"project/stem-is-the-way-to-go/8267038/","projectTitle":"STEM is the Way to Go!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dewan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7561446_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1693704061320","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7561446"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_82987","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":13,"numTeachers":3,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":83,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"4.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":33.3,"schoolId":82987,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Harry Reid Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Harry Reid Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/clark-county-school-district/harry-reid-elementary-school/82987"}
