The materials we received — including a printer, mechanical pencils, folders, tissues, Sharpies, and pens — have greatly improved our daily learning environment and classroom efficiency.\r\n\r\nThe printer has been especially helpful in providing students with immediate access to worksheets, quizzes, and enrichment activities. It allows me to print differentiated materials to meet the diverse learning needs of my students and to quickly provide feedback on their work. Students now have access to clear, organized handouts that make learning more interactive and engaging.\r\n\r\nThe mechanical pencils, pens, and Sharpies have given students the tools they need to take notes, complete assignments, and participate in group projects with confidence. Many students who previously struggled to come prepared now have reliable writing materials, reducing interruptions and increasing focus during lessons.\r\n\r\nThe folders have helped students stay organized, especially as they manage assignments, study guides, and project materials. Having their own folders gives them a sense of ownership and responsibility for their learning.\r\n\r\nEven the tissues have played a role in creating a comfortable, caring classroom environment. Students appreciate having them available, especially during allergy and cold seasons — a small but important way to support their well-being.\r\n\r\nOverall, these materials have fostered a more structured, productive, and supportive learning environment. My students feel valued and equipped to do their best work. I am deeply grateful for these resources and for the opportunity to provide my students with the tools they need to succeed both academically and personally.\r\n\r\nThank you for your generosity and for helping make a real difference in our classroom.\r\n\r\nWith appreciation,\r\nHemlata Puri\r\nCamden High School","fullyFundedDate":1753197166440,"projectUrl":"project/overcoming-challenges/9307359/","projectTitle":"Overcoming Challenges","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Puri","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10010897"},{"teacherId":4918783,"projectId":9082577,"letterContent":"When I received the notification that our \"Creative Fundraising for our Senior Class of 2025\" project was fully funded, I was overwhelmed with gratitude. Your support not only provided resources, but opened up real possibilities for our students to take ownership of their senior year, both creatively and entrepreneurially.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generous donations, we received a sublimation printer, tumblers, and sublimation paper which was everything we needed to start creating custom merchandise. Students were able to design, press, and sell personalized items like tumblers, mugs, and keychains. This helped us raise money for senior events such as prom, graduation, and class trips.\r\n\r\nBut even more than raising funds, this project taught students new skills: graphic design, branding, product creation, and marketing. They learned how to take an idea, make it tangible, and sell it to support their peers.\r\n\r\nOne of the most meaningful moments was watching a group of seniors collaborate on designing custom tumblers for the entire senior class. Each design celebrated Camden High's Panther pride, and seeing the students beam with joy as they held their own creation was a moment I'll never forget. They weren't just creating products, they were building memories.","fullyFundedDate":1746787357704,"projectUrl":"project/creative-fundraising-for-our-senior-clas/9082577/","projectTitle":"Creative Fundraising for Our Senior Class of 2025","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Herder","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4918783_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1509126365554","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/drherder"},{"teacherId":4918783,"projectId":9082551,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our project, \"Warm Hearts, Warm Hands: High School Seniors Supporting Our Community.\" Because of your generosity, we were able to create and distribute 24 care bags filled with essential items for those in need in our community. Each bag included an uplifting, handwritten note from one of our students. That was a small gesture that brought big smiles. Watching people take the time to read the notes, and then light up with gratitude, was the most powerful part of the experience for us.\r\nYour kindness didn't just warm hands, it warmed hearts and sparked inspiration. Our students were deeply moved by how their small acts of giving made such a meaningful impact. Many of them are now brainstorming new ways to continue serving others throughout the year. Thank you for being the spark behind this wave of compassion and for showing our seniors the power of giving back.

With our new balls, cones, and goals, students are able to rotate through skill stations that focus on dribbling, passing, shooting, and defensive strategies. One memorable moment was when we hosted a mini-tournament with student-created teams—it was incredible to see the excitement, sportsmanship, and confidence grow in every player, especially those who had never played before!\r\n\r\nThe moment the students saw the brand-new soccer balls and equipment set up in the gym, there were cheers and big smiles all around. Several students immediately asked if we were \"really getting to use those today.\" For many of them, this was the first time they had high-quality soccer gear to play with, and it made them feel valued and motivated to participate.\r\n\r\nOur next steps include building on the foundational skills we've learned by introducing small-sided games and peer coaching roles. Students will take turns leading warm-ups, setting up drills, and offering positive feedback to teammates. We're also planning to integrate a reflection activity where students write or share what teamwork means to them and how they've grown during this soccer unit. These next steps will continue fostering not just athletic development, but leadership and collaboration skills as well.","fullyFundedDate":1735152451029,"projectUrl":"project/kickstarting-soccer-dreams-at-chs/8903634/","projectTitle":"Kickstarting Soccer Dreams at CHS","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Avery","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9567383_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1731689657926","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9567383"},{"teacherId":2223392,"projectId":8851730,"letterContent":"On behalf of Camden High School, I want to extend our deepest gratitude for your generous support in funding this project.
