Because of your contribution, our students were able to create and sell beautiful Valentine's Day items to raise money for prom and other senior activities.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw all the materials—craft supplies, decorations, candy, and packaging—they were absolutely thrilled. Their faces lit up with excitement, and they immediately started brainstorming creative ways to put everything to use. It was inspiring to see their enthusiasm turn into action as they worked together to design, assemble, and sell Valentine's gifts for our school community.\r\n\r\nOne of the most memorable moments was watching a group of students organize an assembly line to package candy grams. They were so proud of the final products and even more excited when they saw the strong support from classmates and staff. This fundraiser not only helped raise important funds, but it also gave students a chance to practice teamwork, creativity, and leadership skills.\r\n\r\nNext, our students are planning and budgeting for prom decorations and activities. They're using the money raised from the Valentine's Day fundraiser to make this year's events extra special and meaningful for the entire senior class.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making this possible—you truly made a difference for our students and their senior year memories!","fullyFundedDate":1738429526163,"projectUrl":"project/seniors-spreading-love-fundraising-for/9086418/","projectTitle":"Seniors Spreading Love: Fundraising for Our Final Year","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Tarver","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8815191_orig.jpg?crop=1086,1086,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1737740890948","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8815191"},{"teacherId":8815191,"projectId":9082185,"letterContent":"Thanks to your incredible generosity, our 9th grade students have been able to experience a much smoother and more supported transition into high school. The sensory items you helped fund — including fidget tools, textured items, calming lighting, and weighted lap pads — have made a huge difference in our classroom environment.\r\n\r\nWe use these resources daily. Students are able to quietly grab what they need when they start feeling overwhelmed, whether during a tough lesson, a crowded passing period, or stressful testing days. One memorable moment was during our first big group project of the year: a student who typically struggles with anxiety was able to stay engaged and complete their presentation by using a small fidget cube. It gave them the calm focus they needed to succeed, and they were so proud of themselves afterward!\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the students were thrilled. There was a buzz of excitement as they explored the textures, tools, and options. Many expressed surprise that they were allowed to use these items freely — they felt truly seen and supported.\r\n\r\nRight now, we're working on a \"Coping Skills Toolkit\" project where students are creating personalized kits they can take with them to different classes. The sensory tools you provided are an essential part of this. The next steps will involve students reflecting on which tools help them most, learning when to use them, and continuing to build self-awareness and emotional regulation skills as they grow through this important first year of high school.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping to make our classroom a safer, more welcoming space for everyone","fullyFundedDate":1737943389101,"projectUrl":"project/calm-minds-focused-hearts-sensory-tool/9082185/","projectTitle":"Calm Minds, Focused Hearts: Sensory Tools for Stressed-Out 9th Graders","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Tarver","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8815191_orig.jpg?crop=1086,1086,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1737740890948","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8815191"},{"teacherId":8815191,"projectId":9079516,"letterContent":"We are so grateful for the generous donation of snacks and treats! My students were thrilled when they first saw the collection of cookies, chips, and other goodies. Their eyes lit up, and the excitement in the room was contagious. It was an immediate morale booster and gave us the perfect opportunity to kick off our new incentive program.\r\n\r\nWe're using the snacks as rewards for students who demonstrate consistent attendance, improved behavior, and academic achievement. One memorable moment was when a student who had been struggling with motivation proudly received a snack pack for turning in all of his assignments on time for the first time this semester. His confidence soared, and it encouraged others to do the same.\r\n\r\nIn the classroom, we've been working on a group project where students research and present on historical figures who have overcome adversity. The incentive program has created a positive and collaborative environment—students are more engaged and encouraging of one another. Our next steps include preparing presentations and creating a visual display of their work, which they're excited to share with the school community.\r\n\r\nThank you again for supporting our classroom and helping us build a space where students feel recognized, motivated, and inspired!","fullyFundedDate":1737835498389,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-success-snacks-to-power-9th-gra/9079516/","projectTitle":"Fueling Success: Snacks to Power 9th Grade School Achievements","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Tarver","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8815191_orig.jpg?crop=1086,1086,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1737740890948","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8815191"},{"teacherId":9817866,"projectId":8906363,"letterContent":"Students were able to complete their college applications through their lunch period and after school as well as begin their financial aid applications while passing their classes.

Your support has done a great deal for our students and school community! We have been able to add stress balls, sensory objects, books and snacks to the resources that we have available to students and I have been able to see a huge impact. At first, the students were so surprised by the amount of resources that my office now houses. They got so excited that they were able to pick things for themselves (and even for their siblings) to use as healthy and calming distractions from some of the stressors that they experience! The snacks have helped to keep more students in class and focused throughout the day, as many of them have last period lunch. As we get down to the last few sensory and stress relief objects left, I know that we wouldn't have been able to provide the students with a fraction of what we have done without your support. They definitely seem happier and calmer while in our building with these resources that are at their disposal.","fullyFundedDate":1729983508577,"projectUrl":"project/toys-and-other-soothers-for-teens/8900214/","projectTitle":"Toys (and Other Soothers) for Teens","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Headley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9814436_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1729786497374","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9814436"},{"teacherId":121397,"projectId":5914978,"letterContent":"Thanks so much for your generous donations.
