Your gift has already transformed our space in ways that words can hardly capture.\r\n\r\nBefore this project, our students had big ideas but limited tools to bring them to life. Now, with professional lighting at their fingertips, they are discovering how color, focus, and intensity can shape mood and storytelling. The excitement in the room is undeniable—students who once stayed quietly in the background are stepping forward to design, create, and lead.\r\n\r\nThis lighting system will not only elevate our upcoming productions, but it will also give students hands-on technical experience that builds confidence, collaboration, and real-world skills. You've helped create a classroom where imagination feels possible and where every student can shine—literally and figuratively.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our young artists and technicians. Your kindness will make an impact for years to come, and we are deeply grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1756294926316,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-use-lighting-to-tell-stories/9644578/","projectTitle":"Help Us Use Lighting to Tell Stories!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Pepe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9884644"},{"teacherId":9782117,"projectId":9148607,"letterContent":"Dear Supporters,\r\n\r\nThanks to your generous donations, our Care Closet has become a lifeline for so many of our students. The clothing you provided is being used every single day—not only helping students feel comfortable and confident, but also making sure they can come to school ready to learn without the stress of not having what they need.\r\n\r\nOne moment that stands out was when a student quietly asked if we had a clean hoodie they could borrow for the day. Their face lit up when they found something in their size, and they proudly wore it through the halls. What might seem small made that student feel included and cared for. These are the kinds of moments your kindness makes possible.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the closet stocked with fresh clothing, their reactions were priceless. There were smiles, laughter, and even some happy tears. They were surprised that people who don't even know them cared enough to give. That sense of being seen and supported truly matters.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, our next steps are to continue expanding the Care Closet so we can offer a reliable resource for every student who needs it. We are planning to connect the closet with classroom projects around kindness and community service, helping students not only receive but also give back—strengthening our school's culture of care.\r\n\r\nYour support has already made a powerful impact, and we can't thank you enough for being part of this journey with us.\r\n\r\nWith gratitude,","fullyFundedDate":1746786319683,"projectUrl":"project/care-closet/9148607/","projectTitle":"Care Closet","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Allie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9782117_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746792007886","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9782117"},{"teacherId":6214289,"projectId":8900547,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to my classroom!

As a result, I filled my classroom pantry with different snacks that my students have shared are their \"favorite American snacks.\" This gave my students an additional choice of food, an introduction to popular American food choices, and comfort in knowing that they do not have worry about when their next meal will be during the school day. \r\n\r\nOn behalf of my students, thank you again for your generosity!

One of the reasons that I haven't created more differentiated texts in the past is that I would either need to draw the images myself, which would take a lot of time, or I would have to look for existing images online, and it would be difficult to find images that are exactly what I'm looking for. I used Midjourney in order to create illustrations for the whole-class novels that I will teach in my classes this year. \r\n\r\nBy having various images accompanying the texts that I teach, I was able to give my students a better educational experience and improve their learning. Having this software and technology allowed me to teach my students classic works of literature that would have been inaccessible to them before.
