These simple yet meaningful additions have already made a tremendous difference for my students.\r\n\r\nAt this age, children are developing confidence in their reading skills, and having a soft and comforting \"buddy\" to read to creates a safe, encouraging environment. I have seen even my most hesitant readers eagerly pick up a book, cuddle their buddy, and begin reading with newfound excitement. The reading buddies turn what could feel like practice into a joyful, confidence-building experience.\r\n\r\nBeyond literacy skills, these buddies also provide comfort and help children feel calm, supported, and ready to learn. For many of my students, having something consistent and reassuring during reading time helps them focus, persevere, and truly enjoy their learning.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has not only provided a tool for literacy but has also helped foster a love for reading that I know will stay with my students for years to come.

Thanks to your support, we were able to provide every student at our K-6th grade elementary school with thick wool socks, an essential item for staying warm during the harsh Ohio winters. For many of our students, these socks are not just a practical necessity, but a symbol of the care and compassion that surrounds them in our community.\r\n\r\nOur school serves a diverse population, including many low-income families and immigrant students. For these families, winter weather can pose a real challenge, as they may not always have the resources to provide for such essential needs. Your donation has made a tangible difference in the lives of these children, helping them stay warm, comfortable, and ready to learn. You have truly shown the power of kindness and community.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for your generosity and for making a lasting impact on our school. Your support is deeply appreciated, and we are incredibly fortunate to have you as part of our community. Warmth is not just found in socks, but in the hearts of those who care, like you.","fullyFundedDate":1737649826558,"projectUrl":"project/keeping-our-students-warm-for-the-winter/8939592/","projectTitle":"Keeping Our Students Warm for the Winter!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hillard","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3540195_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1533516958367","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/teachinginpearls"},{"teacherId":9568996,"projectId":8454912,"letterContent":"It has been great to have a nice seating choice for my students in my classroom.
