Because of you, I'm able to turn an empty classroom into a space full of possibility, creativity, and connection — and I truly couldn't have done it without your help.\r\nThis year is a fresh start in so many ways — a new school, a brand-new 7th grade Social Studies classroom, and a vision to make learning come alive through both academic exploration and creative expression. Thanks to your donation, I now have the essential materials to begin building that vision: sketchbooks, drawing supplies, and tools that will not only support engaging Social Studies lessons, but also fuel my students' passion for storytelling and self-expression through our comic book art club.\r\nWhat I love most about teaching 7th grade is witnessing students step into who they're becoming — curious, thoughtful, eager to understand the world and share their place in it. With your support, I can create a classroom that welcomes them to do just that. Your kindness is already making a difference, and your belief in my students and their potential means more than I can say.\r\nFrom all of us — thank you for helping us start this school year with joy, creativity, and inspiration.","fullyFundedDate":1758898844485,"projectUrl":"project/new-year-new-school-new-grade/9624467/","projectTitle":"New Year, New School, New Grade!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. DeFeo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8811945_orig.png?crop=398,398,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1668005755762","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/missdefeo"},{"teacherId":6284318,"projectId":8845780,"letterContent":"You have helped open up a world of dystopian literature for our students.

Last week, we wrapped up our unit with a publishing party featuring a real editor from a sci-fi and fantasy publisher. The students were so proud of their work and the visiting parents were so impressed. All of this is thanks to your generous donation!
