We were so excited and grateful to receive these materials. My students were blown away by the fact that a company choose to donate so a generous gift and that we were the group chosen. \r\n Cleaning supplies like the wipes and tissues specifically, have helped create a cleaner and healthier classroom environment. When surfaces can be regularly disinfected, students are less likely to get sick and miss school. Everyone knows-you can't learn if you're not in school!! A clean space also allows the students to take pride in our classroom and creates a sense of community.\r\n The other basic supplies like folders, markers and chair pockets play an equally important part in supporting the student's success. These tools help my students stay organized and prepared for class which reduces stress as well as reduced lost instructional time. These supplies contribute to more structured, efficient learning environment where students can focus on their work and participate with more confidence.","fullyFundedDate":1769219617058,"projectUrl":"project/clean-and-safe-classroom/10048356/","projectTitle":"Clean and Safe Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Eggleston","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp528946_orig.jpg?crop=144,144,x0,y8&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1770395710366","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/528946"},{"teacherId":5345534,"projectId":10048099,"letterContent":"I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for your generous donation to our classroom.

Many of my students struggle keeping papers together and having color coded folders has allowed them to build responsibility in managing their materials. The chair pouches have truly transformed our classroom environment. With limited storage space, these pouches give students a designated place to keep their materials.

The swifters have helped maintain a clean and healthy classroom. A tidy learning space improves focus and comfort, and my students take pride in helping keep our room clean. It has also helped reduce dust and allergens, creating a more welcoming environment for everyone. The snacks you donated have been extremely impactful.

Also, on our spring field trips, I know have the snacks to take with me instead of asking families to bring in one for their child.\r\n\r\nThe wonderful cleaning supplies are keeping our classroom clean with less dirt and germs. This is especially important during these cold winter months. The swifter has been a hit with keeping our floors clean from spills or other dirt that is brought in on the students' shoes. The wipes are wonderful for daily desk cleaning. Our students eat their breakfast in the classroom, and this helps clean desks before their daily instruction.\r\n\r\nThe clothing is essential and perfect! The students were all given socks to keep their feet warm under their boots. In addition, we now have sweatpants and leggings available for spills, or when a child's bottom is too small. There are many reasons to have extra clothing items ready to go!\r\n\r\nThe children are excited about all of these items for our class.
