Here's a short, sweet impact letter that fits what you've actually used it for:\r\n\r\n⸻\r\n\r\nDear Donor,\r\n\r\nThank you for rescuing us from the dreaded \"OUT OF PAPER\" sign on the copier! Because of your generosity, my team was able to create differentiated packets during the snow storm so each student got work that actually matched their level—not just one-size-fits-all, grade-level papers they weren't ready for yet.\r\n\r\nYour donation also gave us sturdy cardstock for reusable task cards and math calendar pieces, so we can keep learning organized, hands-on, and long-lasting.\r\n\r\nYou didn't just fund paper—you helped us meet students where they are and move them forward with purpose.","fullyFundedDate":1765900327192,"projectUrl":"project/brilliant-ideas-ahead-if-we-get-more-pa/9942365/","projectTitle":"Brilliant Ideas Ahead (If We Get More Paper)","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bilodeau","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8258027_orig.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1660100944796","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8258027"},{"teacherId":8258027,"projectId":9942392,"letterContent":"I wish you could've seen my kids' faces the first time I told them, \"Yes, those snacks are for YOU.\" Their eyes got huge, and one of them whispered, \"For real? Even the good chips?\" Because of you, I get to say yes a lot more. Yes, you can have a snack before this tough math assignment. Yes, you can grab a mint to calm those test jitters. Yes, you can stay after school and actually have the energy to learn. For kids who come in tired, hungry, and carrying big worries on small shoulders, that simple \"yes\" changes everything.\r\n\r\nDuring after-school tutoring (and even on Saturdays!), your snacks have become part of our little routine. Students drop their backpacks, head straight to the snack stash, and then settle in ready to work instead of ready to give up. The mints are their \"secret weapon\" before tests and reading assessments—one student told me, \"It makes my brain feel calm,\" and I've carried that line with me ever since. You didn't just fund chips, candy, and mints. You helped create a space where students feel safe, cared for, and willing to try one more problem, one more page, one more day.\r\n\r\nAs a teacher and a mom, this project means more to me than I can really put into words. You stepped in for kids you've never met and said, \"You matter. Your education matters.\" That kind of kindness sticks with them—and with me. From my heart, from my daughter who hears all the stories, and from every single one of my snack-loving, hard-working 4th graders: thank you for loving on my students with me. You are officially part of our classroom family now. 💛","fullyFundedDate":1766168763690,"projectUrl":"project/weekend-warriors-weekday-wizards-snack/9942392/","projectTitle":"Weekend Warriors, Weekday Wizards: Snacks for 5-Day Tutoring","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bilodeau","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8258027_orig.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1660100944796","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8258027"},{"teacherId":9683601,"projectId":9914046,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for investing on the future of the kids.

When you funded this project, you didn't just give us Power Pens and card sets. You gave my students a reason to smile, feel confident, and fall in love with learning all over again. In a classroom where many of my students are working below grade level and juggling big emotions, these tools have become little moments of magic.\r\n\r\nNow, during math and reading stations, I hear the soft buzz of a Power Pen and a proud, \"I got it!\" from across the room. Students who used to wait for someone to tell them the answer are trying first on their own. I've watched my quietest learners perk up with pride, and my most hesitant students become the first to grab a pen and get started.
