In a world with so many competing needs, I am truly honored that you chose to support our mission. \r\nYour support arrived at the perfect time.

Because of your generosity, my students now have access to resources that directly support their learning, engagement, and confidence. Technology plays an important role in today's classrooms, and these materials allow students to practice skills in a hands-on, meaningful way. Whether they are reinforcing academic concepts, participating in interactive lessons, or collaborating with peers, the new resources have helped create a more inclusive and supportive learning environment for all learners.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhat has been most exciting to see is how motivated and eager the students are when using this new technology. Students who sometimes struggle to stay engaged are more focused and willing to participate, while others have taken on leadership roles by helping classmates navigate the tools. The immediate feedback and interactive features allow students to learn at their own pace, build independence, and take pride in their progress.\r\n\r\nThis project has had a particularly positive impact on students who benefit from additional structure and visual support. Having access to these tools has helped reduce frustration, increase confidence, and create more opportunities for success. Your generosity has truly made a difference in our classroom, and my students feel valued knowing that people beyond their school believe in them and their potential. Thank you for investing in their learning and future.","fullyFundedDate":1769309667069,"projectUrl":"project/charged-fed-and-focused-essentials-fo/10052578/","projectTitle":"Charged, Fed, and Focused: Essentials for Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Jevric","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9012572"},{"teacherId":9012572,"projectId":9659261,"letterContent":"Thank you for your incredible generosity in supporting our project, Charged Up for Learning: Headphones & Chargers for Every Student. Because of your donation, our students now have access to essential tools that make a real difference in their daily learning experience. While technology may feel routine in many homes, in a school setting it plays a critical role in instruction, assessment, and accessibility. Your support has helped ensure that every student can fully participate without unnecessary barriers.\r\nIn our classrooms, students regularly use Chromebooks for reading and math programs, research projects, interactive lessons, and assessments. Headphones are especially important because they allow students to listen to instructions, videos, and audio supports without distractions. This is crucial during independent work, small-group instruction, and testing. Chargers are just as important—without them, valuable instructional time can be lost when devices run out of power. Thanks to you, students no longer need to stop learning due to a dead battery or share limited resources with classmates.\r\nWhat excites students most about this project is the sense of independence and preparedness it brings. They feel confident knowing they have what they need to start their day ready to learn. There is less stress and frustration in the classroom because students no longer have to worry about borrowing headphones, waiting for a charger, or missing part of a lesson. This has created smoother transitions, better focus, and a calmer learning environment overall.\r\nThis project has had an especially strong impact on students who benefit from audio-based learning supports. Students who are English Language Learners, students with learning differences, and students who need repeated directions or read-aloud features are now more engaged and successful. With their own headphones, they can replay instructions, listen at their own pace, and work more independently. Teachers have noticed improved attention, increased participation, and greater confidence in these students.\r\nBeyond academics, your generosity has helped promote equity and inclusion in our school. Not all students have access to technology or accessories at home, and this project helped close that gap. Every student now has equal access to the tools needed to succeed, which sends a powerful message that their learning matters. It also teaches responsibility, as students take pride in caring for and using their equipment appropriately.\r\nOn behalf of our students and staff, thank you for investing in their education and believing in their potential. Your support has truly kept our classrooms \"charged up\" and ready for learning each and every day.","fullyFundedDate":1762265316472,"projectUrl":"project/charged-up-for-learning-headphones-ch/9659261/","projectTitle":"Charged Up for Learning: Headphones & Chargers for Every Student","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Jevric","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9012572"},{"teacherId":8182209,"projectId":10052835,"letterContent":"Your support for \"Fueling Minds and Mastering Math!\" has fundamentally changed my students' daily experience. By meeting our total project goal of $936.53, you have provided both the physical nourishment and the high-level technology necessary for my learners to thrive. The immediate impact was visible the moment our first shipments arrived, as students eagerly opened boxes of snacks like Mott's fruit snacks and Annie's Bunny snacks, which provide the essential \"fuel\" they need to stay focused throughout the school day.\r\n\r\nThe TI-84 Plus CE Graphing Calculators help my students learn by serving as a visual bridge to complex mathematical concepts. For students with disabilities, abstract algebraic equations can feel insurmountable; however, these calculators allow them to visualize the equations as clear, color-coded graphs and patterns. This technology turns a frustrating, intangible problem into something concrete that they can manipulate and understand. Furthermore, the dedicated charging station ensures these vital tools are always powered and ready, reinforcing our students' importance of preparation and classroom organization.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting thing for my students has been the high-tech, professional feel of the graphing calculators. In a school where resources can be scarce, providing access to the same advanced technology used in college-level courses helps students feel seen and valued as serious scholars. Beyond the technology, the arrival of bulk snacks such as Nutella & GO!, Teddy Grahams, and granola bars fostered a sense of community and care in the classroom.\r\n\r\nSome students in our SPED program have particularly warmed to this technology. One student, who previously struggled to stay engaged during coordinate plane lessons, became a class leader after realizing they could \"see\" the math on their calculator screen. Another student, who often experiences food insecurity, has shown a marked increase in stamina and participation now that they know they have a reliable snack, such as Cheez-Its or Kellogg's cereal, waiting for them during our toughest lessons. Your generosity hasn't just provided supplies; it has given my students the confidence and energy they need to master any challenge.","fullyFundedDate":1769310471696,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-minds-and-mastering-math/10052835/","projectTitle":"Fueling Minds and Mastering Math!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Elizabeth Iannacone","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8182209_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1769972779781","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-iannacone"},{"teacherId":5621225,"projectId":10039898,"letterContent":"My students thank you for donating to our classroom you have provided for many students who are grateful .
