As the dough was portioned out, each group added food coloring for their layer. \r\n\r\nAdditionally, I think students show more gratitude when they know that the community is supporting them as the mature into young adults. It's great to have someone, or many people, that believe in you.

The new pegboards have turned what was once a cluttered, cramped storage space into a vibrant display of color and inspiration. Students can now easily see and access the wide variety of yarn we have, which has already sparked new excitement for their projects. The space feels more creative, welcoming, and professional—like a true art studio.\r\n\r\nThe impact goes beyond organization. By freeing up shelves, we now have room to proudly showcase student creations, giving them a sense of accomplishment and ownership. Several students have already commented on how much more fun and inviting the space feels, and I've noticed them gravitating toward yarn-based projects more often because they're inspired by the beautiful display. This upgrade has not only improved efficiency but has also boosted creativity, pride, and joy in the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1750373684179,"projectUrl":"project/yarn-in-sight-creativity-in-flight/9413354/","projectTitle":"Yarn in Sight, Creativity in Flight!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bourgoin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4047479_orig.jpg?crop=1242,1242,x0,y269&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736526266042","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-bourgoin"},{"teacherId":4047479,"projectId":9406739,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom!

Students will use the chalk to create uplifting messages of hope, inclusion, and encouragement right at the school entrance—a project that will not only showcase their creativity but also help them feel ownership and pride in their school community.\r\n\r\nIn the meantime, the Sharpie markers and paint brush cleaners have already become everyday staples in our classroom. From bold outlines in student artwork to mixed-media projects that express their identities, the Sharpies have allowed students to make their ideas come to life with confidence and clarity. The brush cleaners have made clean-up more efficient and have taught students the importance of taking care of shared materials. As we prepare for our first big chalk art project, students are already developing the artistic skills and responsibility they'll need to make it a success.

Many students are hesitant to come to the front of the classroom to present their work to the class.

My students were so excited to see the new supplies for them to make their own shirts! \r\n\r\nWe have worked to build our Science Olympiad program for years and have kept accessibility a priority, which has meant that we've needed to find creative ways to cut costs and subsidize our expenses. Our students love to have matching shirts when we go to our tournaments, and the Cricut has allowed us to design and create these shirts at a fraction of the cost. \r\n\r\nIn order to make the process more student-run, we needed a few more start-up supplies so that they could weed, align, and press the images that they created and cut. They took great pride in being able to see the entire process through the creation of 45 shirts, this year! The supplies in this project definitely empowered them to run this project on their own, and they are excited to plan and execute their next designs!","fullyFundedDate":1731001488313,"projectUrl":"project/expanding-kids-creative-boundaries/8897920/","projectTitle":"Expanding Kids' Creative Boundaries","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Krones","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp367484_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1492106855732","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/367484"},{"teacherId":6042236,"projectId":8921118,"letterContent":"It is with tremendous gratitude that we write to you to thank you for supporting a low-tech Makerspace in our Library Media Center. The title of the project reflects our goal: to \"craft calm, creativity, and connection.\" Thanks to your generous support we have begun to do just that! \r\n\r\nStudents were delighted and surprised when we received the crafting supplies. Your donations allowed us to provide them with materials they have been asking for for quite some time. We rolled the use of the space in sections. We immediately stocked a coloring area where students can color bookmarks and coloring pages. Then, we set up a giant coloring poster for community coloring and quick bursts of stress relief. \r\nThe individual and communal coloring areas are more popular than we could ever imagine! The two tables are regularly filled during our advisory period and four lunch periods. Between 30-50 students visit the coloring area daily. It is by far the most popular community making feature in our library and shows us that students both need and appreciate having an opportunity to create and relax. Additionally, we started offering self-serve craft stations including paper decorations and origami making. \r\n\r\nLastly, in order to help the students use the materials more effectively, we began offering Friday \"Maker Days\" where staff teach a craft to other interested students/staff. Our two most successful \"Maker Days \"have allowed attendees to learn crocheting and loom knitting. Since then, students have returned on additional days to continue working on their projects and we now have students teaching other students these crafts. Plans for upcoming \"Maker Days\" include button making, \"advanced\" coloring like an illustrator with alcohol markers, and washi tape crafts.\r\n\r\n\tThis project has influenced student learning, by providing opportunities for stress relief and positive community building with our students. These opportunities improve our students' mental health which allows them to focus better on their school work and feel more connected to their school community. \r\n\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity and the generosity of both the Burkehaven Family Foundation and Google Teen Mental Health Initiative, we have been able to create a communal space that allows students to explore lifelong hobbies that provide healthy ways to manage stress and improve their mental health. We are excited to see our Maker Program evolve and look forward to seeing the creations and community connections that our students make.
