These sketchbooks have quickly become a cornerstone of our daily art practice. Students use them to experiment with new techniques, brainstorm ideas, and reflect on their creative journeys.\r\nWhen the sketchbooks first arrived, the excitement was visible. Many students had never owned a sketchbook before, and their faces lit up as they realized this was theirs—a place to capture ideas and express themselves without limits. Several immediately began sketching and drawing on their covers before I even finished passing them out!\r\nYour support didn't just provide supplies—it gave my students a sense of ownership over their art and a tangible reminder that their creativity matters.

Many students just did not have the resources to buy their own notebooks; but thanks to your donation I was able to give a notebook to most students who needed one.

For this project, we brought physical activity into our lesson! The students are used to being inside the classroom, and I'm happy that we could go outside for this activity. I designed a small obstacle course on the front lawn of our school campus using the cones, hoops, and traffic signs. All students accompanied me outside and 30% of the students participated in the obstacle course (i.e. running the course). Even though that may seem like a low number, I count it as a huge success because the students were engaged, they understood the connection, and they were showing teamwork by supporting each other. I look forward to having more activities like this to bring in more physical activity (inside and outside of the classroom).","fullyFundedDate":1733768163712,"projectUrl":"project/move-over-fedexdelivering-the-packag/8941858/","projectTitle":"Move Over, FedEx...Delivering the Packages No Matter the Obstacle Course","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McGill","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7593380"},{"teacherId":7593380,"projectId":8947972,"letterContent":"Thank you for your kind donations.

This, undoubtedly, was an out-of-the-box activity, but I wanted to teach students employability skills that would prepare them to enter the job market. We will keep a few items here in the classroom, but we will provide professional items for students in need of workwear or graduation attire. This was a passion project for me, and I'm very grateful to have community partners like the Enrichment Fund and others supporting our initiatives.
