The goal of this project is to ensure that students have access to sensory tools anytime they may need them, and your gift has aided in achieving that goal. \r\n\r\nFidget and other sensory tools are among the most frequently requested items by students as they come through the school counselor's office. The pure joy that flashes across a student's face when they see a special tool they connect with and that is available for their use is absolutely priceless! Such a small item can have a huge impact on a student's day. \r\n\r\nThank you for helping make this project come to life and for helping students be their best selves each day!","fullyFundedDate":1761324743356,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-tools-for-self-regulation/9681726/","projectTitle":"Sensory Tools for Self-Regulation","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Amber Hunter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10031757_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y208&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757512421753","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ahunter513"},{"teacherId":9515968,"projectId":9202857,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our preschool classroom has become a more comforting, energized, and organized space. The Hugimals have been a huge hit, especially for students who don't have a stuffed animal of their own for nap time. Our special needs students have found extra comfort in these weighted friends, and it's heartwarming to see how they instinctively reach for them when they need a calming moment. While no one has a favorite between the sloth and koala, they're both loved equally and often passed around with big smiles.\r\n\r\nThe Clorox wipes have been a game changer. With all the hands-on activities we do and the busy active days that preschoolers thrive on, these wipes help us keep everything clean and safe without missing a beat. The snacks and BodyArmor drinks have been perfect for those high-energy days when our little learners need a boost to stay focused and happy. Whether it's after outdoor play or during a long learning stretch, these treats help us recharge and keep the momentum going.\r\n\r\nWe're currently working on a sensory-based learning unit and these resources have made a noticeable difference in how engaged and supported our students feel. From the laminated visuals that help with routines to the dry erase markers that make group learning more interactive, every item you helped provide has found a meaningful place in our classroom. Thank you for making our space more inclusive, joyful, and ready for learning.","fullyFundedDate":1746786401940,"projectUrl":"project/gym-goals-restock-refresh-and-revital/9202857/","projectTitle":"Gym Goals: Restock, Refresh, and Revitalize!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Israel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9515968_orig.jpg?crop=513,513,x0,y1097&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1715571314671","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9515968"},{"teacherId":10031757,"projectId":9682137,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our students at Ethel Taylor Junior High now have direct access to personal hygiene products and other essential items through the \"Take What You Need\" free store located near the school counselor's office (my office).\r\n\r\nHaving these personal care products readily available is vital for our students' physical, mental, and social well-being. Financial barriers can make it difficult for young people to access the basic tools needed for proper self-care, but thanks to you, that barrier has been lifted.\r\n\r\nOur students can walk the hallways with greater confidence, knowing they can get what they need, when they need it—no questions asked. They simply stop by the shelves and take what's helpful to them. The excitement is real. I often hear students say things like, \"Oh man, I really needed this,\" or \"Wait, I can just have this?\" Watching their faces light up when they find something they've been hoping for—like lotion, shampoo, lip balm, a toothbrush, or feminine care items—is a powerful reminder of just how much these items mean.\r\n\r\nEach product on the shelf may seem small, but to our students, it represents dignity, care, and the support of someone who believes in them.\r\n\r\nEvery student deserves to feel confident and able to present their best self each day. Thank you for helping make that possible by ensuring essential self-care supplies are always within reach.","fullyFundedDate":1758847009215,"projectUrl":"project/personal-hygiene-kits-for-teens/9682137/","projectTitle":"Personal Hygiene Kits for Teens","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Amber Hunter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10031757_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y208&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757512421753","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ahunter513"},{"teacherId":8359672,"projectId":8698378,"letterContent":"Thanks to you, my students will soon have the earbuds they desperately need. \"Hear Success\" will transform our learning environment, allowing for focused listening during lessons, personalized practice, and engaging multimedia activities.
