So much so that some teachers are putting in the wash load while the students are in class because the lunch periods only are not enough time and the students are so grateful.\r\n\r\nYour donation has made an impact not only on our students lives, overall School culture, but the society as a whole.","fullyFundedDate":1771194888592,"projectUrl":"project/clean-clothes-confident-students/10043203/","projectTitle":"Clean Clothes = Confident Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Nunez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2362105_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1778214759036","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2362105"},{"teacherId":2362105,"projectId":9903412,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supplying us with the color printer that will be used for our Print Shop Club! \r\n\r\nStudents are currently working on deciding to name their business and what items they will sell.

The snacks came particularly handy during our ACCESS testing as the schedule shifted and students would come and grab a snack between breaks. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for making the day a little brighter for our kids - as you may be aware kids and teenagers have a huge appetite and a little snack goes on a long way to provide the energy needed whether after a busy morning or to help ease the afternoon slump.","fullyFundedDate":1769713808518,"projectUrl":"project/energize-our-students-one-snack-at-a-tim/10060694/","projectTitle":"Energize Our Students One Snack At a Time!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Nunez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2362105_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1778214759036","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2362105"},{"teacherId":2362105,"projectId":9656242,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, we were able to provide every student with a hat and glove set just in time for the winter months. \r\n\r\nThe students were so happy to receive their hats and gloves and couldn't believe they were donated.
