You have all made the lives of so many children that much better. The looks on their faces as new centers roll out and new Lego sets arrive is truly priceless. However as we all know, nothing in life is free and for that I needed so much help to make this dream a reality. I have already seen the love and excitement for Science, Engineering and STEAM grow in the short time since our boxes started to roll in. I am so excited to show them the projects we can now create with the donated art supplies. I have to say an extra thank you for the Clorox wipes, especially in this fun flu season. In the start of this school year I stepped into a new roll at school for the first time in 16 years. I was switching all I knew about teaching to become a Science cluster teacher. My dreams of turning this room into a world for children to learn and grow while getting their hands on an array of materials to expose them to new career opportunities and dreams for their future are all coming to life each day as I watch the children explore all the new donations. From the bottom of all of our hearts we thank you for your impact on this project.","fullyFundedDate":1763553881043,"projectUrl":"project/creating-the-future-builders-and-shapers/9731777/","projectTitle":"Creating the Future Builders and Shapers of the World","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Levin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10270268"},{"teacherId":6315584,"projectId":9165193,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity in helping us bring new social-emotional learning and music books into our classroom.

These books are already sparking curiosity and opening doors for deeper conversations in our classroom community.\r\n\r\nThe identity-centered texts you helped provide give students tools to better understand their emotions and regulate them throughout the school day. They also offer meaningful opportunities for children to connect their own experiences and cultures to what they're learning. Each time a student recognizes themselves in a story or discovers new language for what they feel, they are empowered to grow not only as musicians but as human beings.\r\n\r\nYour gift has done more than put books on a shelf, it has created space for our students to make meaning, to celebrate who they are, and to explore the beauty of their identities through music and story.

Color-coding rhythms and notes to match our instruments has made it easier for all children, including those who learn differently, to follow along and grow their skills with confidence. We've also been able to make personalized games, manipulatives, and bright certificates that keep students engaged and excited about their progress while adding special touches to concerts and celebrations.\r\n\r\n\r\nYour donation has empowered us to open new doors of imagination and discovery for every child in our classroom.

This spring alone, they brightened a variety of productions including the Treble Makers Chorus Show, the Step Show, the Talent Show, PreK Stepping Up, Kindergarten Stepping Up, and our 5th Grade Graduation Ceremony. Each of these events was more vibrant, more professional, and more meaningful because of your support.\r\n\r\nThe joy these lights have brought to our students has been incredible. For the first time, many of them saw their faces lit up on stage, giving them the confidence to perform proudly for their friends, families, and teachers. Parents were equally thrilled, they could clearly see their children's expressions, their excitement, and their hard work come alive under the new lighting. These moments of visibility and celebration are ones that our community will cherish for years to come.\r\n\r\nYour generosity didn't just purchase lights, it illuminated possibility. You helped turn our auditorium into a stage where every student feels seen, valued, and celebrated. Thank you for believing in our kids and for investing in the magic of the arts at PS32.

The impact of this gift has truly been immeasurable.\r\n\r\nThe new full drumset took center stage at our Spring Talent Show in May 2025, and it was incredible to see our students beam with pride as they performed on a professional-level instrument in front of their families and peers. In the classroom, the portable drumset has been just as powerful allowing every student the chance to practice and learn the foundations of drumming as part of their daily musical journey. Students who once only imagined themselves behind a drumset are now confidently keeping time, experimenting with rhythms, and discovering their own unique musical voices.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has not only filled a need it has ignited excitement, possibility, and joy.

These items may seem small on their own, but together they have transformed the way my students experience music every day.\r\n\r\nThe impact was immediate: the first time students used the headphone splitters, they lit up with joy at finally being able to hear each other play on the same piano at once. That moment of shared discovery, hearing harmony come alive for the first time, was filled with wonder and excitement. Since then, the handbells have filled our classroom with new colors of sound, and the camera has helped us capture these joyful milestones so we can reflect on our growth together.

Through engaging narratives and informative content, students are developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills. They are learning to make connections between scientific concepts and real-world applications, fostering a deeper understanding of subjects like physics, chemistry, and engineering. Additionally, these texts are enhancing their literacy skills, including vocabulary expansion, comprehension, and the ability to synthesize information from multiple sources.\r\n\r\nSeveral students have shown remarkable enthusiasm for the new books and materials. For instance, a budding scientist has been captivated by the book on bubbles. Another student has found joy in the hands-on activities we have done after reading the stories. More importantly, I am seeing an increase in confidence as the students are able to make connections between our activities and the stories we are reading together. \r\n\r\nYour contributions have not only provided our students with valuable resources but have also fostered a supportive and inspiring learning environment.
