My students are so appreciative of the supplies I am able to provide them, thanks to you. Several students chose to use binders rather than folders, and some even decorated pages to make custom binder covers! It has also been a huge blessing to have plenty of sharpened pencils with great erasers, especially in a music class, where students make plenty of mistakes while learning.\r\nThe organizational supplies have been a personal boon. I am not always the best at finding homes for new materials, and having hanging paper organizers for assignments has been wonderful. Students are able to check the paper organizer to find any past assignments they need without having to wait for me to look around through all of my own folders, which enables them to be more self-sufficient.","fullyFundedDate":1758848054093,"projectUrl":"project/supplies-for-success/9583634/","projectTitle":"Supplies for Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hunter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8429476_orig.jpg?crop=685,685,x1592,y1149&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651146806742","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/nhshunter"},{"teacherId":8429476,"projectId":9083071,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation!

By being able to add kinesthetic learning to their classes, I'm able to reach more and more students that haven't had much experience with music in an academic setting.

The feeling of being thought of, encouraged, and invested in by people they've never met truly made an impact — it reminded them that their education matters beyond our school walls.\r\n\r\nWe dove right in! Students were eager to try out the new equipment, and they were amazed at how much faster they could cook. Our first experiment — a colorful and flavorful fried rice — was a hit (see our example photo!). They couldn't believe how quickly it came together compared to the stovetop version.\r\n\r\nNext semester, these tools will be used in our Nutrition and Wellness class, where students will focus on cooking healthy meals in less time. They'll explore everything from quick one-pot dinners to making homemade yogurt in the Instant Pot. These hands-on experiences help them understand how modern cooking technology supports better nutrition and smarter food choices.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, my students are gaining real-world skills that will last a lifetime.
