Your generosity allowed my fourth and fifth grade students to transform a blank wall into a celebration of the many languages spoken in our Queens community. When the materials arrived, students were immediately excited and couldn't wait to begin painting. As an educator, this was one of the best projects I've ever done with a group of students!\r\n\r\nWith help from multilingual students and staff, we wrote \"welcome\" in Arabic, Bengali, Spanish, Polish, Haitian Creole, Urdu, Greek, and more. It was wonderful working on this project, having students sign the side of the canvas, and then being able to display the mural prominently in the hallway. \r\n\r\nThank you for believing my in our Queens' students and for helping us show that in our school ALL are truly welcome.","fullyFundedDate":1746459777883,"projectUrl":"project/many-voices-one-wall/9261851/","projectTitle":"Many Voices, One Wall","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Adamson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp101592_orig.jpg?crop=382,382,x1,y41&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726164363679","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jaclyn-adamson"},{"teacherId":8297750,"projectId":9469789,"letterContent":"Dear Donors,\r\n\r\nThank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting our classroom through the \"Give Hope Through Giving Supplies\" campaign. Your generosity has truly brought hope, joy, and excitement into our learning space, and my students feel it every single day.\r\n\r\nWhen the boxes arrived, my students' faces lit up with pure disbelief. They gasped, clapped, and immediately started talking about all the things they wanted to create. You gave them more than supplies—you gave them possibilities.\r\nThank you for believing in my students. Thank you for giving them tools to learn, explore, and feel confident. And most of all, thank you for giving them hope through the simple act of giving.","fullyFundedDate":1758811962307,"projectUrl":"project/give-hope-through-giving-supplies/9469789/","projectTitle":"Give Hope Through Giving Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Shishkoff","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8297750_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1674585756679","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8297750"},{"teacherId":436414,"projectId":9316120,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping this project become a reality! We use it daily for ELA reading and writing. The thermal printer has been a game-changer—it allows me to print anchor charts and resources that fit perfectly into students' notebooks. Now they can easily reference them whenever needed.\r\n\r\nIt has also saved so much time since we no longer have to tape or cut paper to size. At first, the students weren't sure how it would help them, but now they're excited and relieved whenever I hand out their perfectly sized printouts!\r\n\r\nThe paper towels have also been a huge help—accidental spills happen often, and they're great to have on hand. During snack time, students use them instead of placing food directly on their desks. These small improvements have made a big difference in keeping our classroom organized, efficient, and clean.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generous support","fullyFundedDate":1746666674718,"projectUrl":"project/zero-waste/9316120/","projectTitle":"Zero Waste","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Duncan-Mora","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp436414_orig.jpg?crop=1099,1099,x230,y340&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1638556221084","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/k-duncan2"},{"teacherId":3259386,"projectId":8807853,"letterContent":"Since my students received the Boogie Boards, I have seen so much progress in terms of them answering questions immediately without the extra worry of having working markers or readily available erasers. They couldn't believe how easy it was to use and they acclimated swiftly to the routines I set in place. \r\n\r\nOne thing they really like to do with the Boogie Boards is to produce art without getting dirty.

As you can imagine, using pencils does not do the job well.\r\n\r\nMy students are thrilled to have these tools at their fingertips. The highlighters have added a splash of color to their notes and made learning more interactive and engaging.
