I am often asked for a snack from my students especially after school as I am often one of the only teachers still in the building while students wait for their rides. I am also the health teacher so I try to have healthy snacks available for students. Additionally I teach about nutrition so I like to show students the nutritional label and how to read them so they can decide if a snack is actually healthy.

They eagerly opened every box, carefully organizing the supplies and testing out the button press together. Within minutes, the room was filled with creativity and laughter as they began practicing with sample designs, testing fonts, cutting templates, and pressing their very first buttons. For many, it was their first time using equipment like this, and they loved seeing their \"Future Physician\" and \"Health Advocate\" ideas turn into something real they could hold in their hands.\r\n\r\nThe button maker will play a major role in our upcoming service-based projects and outreach events. Students are already brainstorming designs for awareness campaigns around topics like mental health, nutrition, and preventive care. They plan to create and distribute their buttons during student-led service events, and partnership visits with local hospitals and universities. Each button will serve as both a symbol of their career aspirations and a tool to engage peers in meaningful health conversations.\r\n\r\nAlthough we're just getting started, the students are full of ideas and motivation. This project has given them a tangible way to express their passion for medicine and advocacy. Thanks to your generosity, they now have the tools to make their ideas come to life, one button at a time.","fullyFundedDate":1756678259990,"projectUrl":"project/future-physicians-making-an-impact-one/9645597/","projectTitle":"Future Physicians: Making an Impact, One Button at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. D.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp686140_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1450228668486","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/cdalveren"},{"teacherId":1076064,"projectId":9592134,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting close reading in my classroom. You should have seen the faces of my students when I said these books were theirs to keep and that they could annotate right inside the book. They were incredibly surprised, but incredibly happy at the same time! Usually, students receive Post-it notes and must write all of their thoughts and connections on these notes instead of directly on the book. You made this unit much more authentic because of your generosity.\r\n\r\nWe just finished reading the text in class, and students are getting ready to write a literary argument about whether or not they think Macbeth acted out of his own free will, acted according to his fate, or had his power \"birthed\" from Lady Macbeth.

Our students really love manga and graphic novels! They have told me that these types of books--books that include many images along with words, similar to comics--are a relaxing change of pace from the more rigorous reading that they do in for classwork.\r\n\r\nIn our library, students choose the books that they are most interested in. So many young people do not read for pleasure these days, so having a large collection of books that they want to read is important! These manga and graphic novel books have expanded our collection or filled in missing spaces where books have been lost due to not being returned. Students don't want to start a series at book #2 or #3, and missing a book in a long series (some have 40+ books in them!) can mean they stop reading. Your donation allows more students to find joy in reading.\r\n\r\nI had students come in while I was unpacking the shipment, and they were adamant that they needed to check out these books. Since they weren't in the system yet, I told them they would have to wait. However, I did show them our current manga and graphic novel collection, and they all checked something out; two were helping a third try something new, and these conversations around reading are part of what make a library so magical.
