This involved me shooting and editing all the videos, which not only was an enormous amount of work for me, but didn't teach students how to do the work themselves. \r\n\r\nYour donation changed all this! Now students roam the halls in teams of reporters, help each other shoot news stories and segments, and edit all their own footage on their own. It's been truly empowering.\r\n\r\nThe news segments are one of the unique highlights of our school. It brings together our school community and boosts school culture.

One specific moment that stood out was during our public speaking unit. Thanks to the microphones you helped fund, each student got the chance to practice speaking clearly and confidently in front of their peers. For many of my students, this was their first time using a microphone, and their faces absolutely lit up with excitement!\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, they were in awe. The supplies, snacks, and especially the social-emotional learning tools—like the stuffed animals and sensory items—created a comforting, welcoming space. One student even said, \"This feels like home.\" That meant the world to me.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we're starting a county research project where students will use the materials to create posters and presentations about different parts of Oregon. They'll be using their speaking skills, teamwork, and creativity—skills that you've helped nurture. Your donation gave them the tools they needed and the belief that their voices matter.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students more than just supplies—you gave them confidence, joy, and a better shot at success.","fullyFundedDate":1741110512718,"projectUrl":"project/4th-grade-tools-to-succeed/9138596/","projectTitle":"4th Grade Tools to Succeed","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. LoMonaco","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8935088"},{"teacherId":1592827,"projectId":9143728,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting my classroom project!

Every student deserves to feel like they belong and the books, posters, tools, and materials in this project has allowed this to happen.\r\nFirst, the books around character traits supports me teaching the students how to be successful in the world and solve problems in healthy ways. I was also able to get books centered around different perspectives, a variety of cultures, and people that can show STEM in a positive light.\r\nSecond, I was able to get posters and art materials that help my students be seen. Showing a diverse selection of people in a positive light helps my students feel like they are being represented in the classroom. The same goes with the art supplies. Helping students see that all colors are beautiful and that white is not the default will support their growing perspective of themselves. Having colored pencils with all skin colors allows them to truly create themselves.\r\nThis project has been a positive boon for the classroom as my students now see that they are important and matter to me.","fullyFundedDate":1741059002174,"projectUrl":"project/representation-in-the-classroom/9138325/","projectTitle":"Representation in the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Brabham","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2937948_orig.jpg?crop=1238,1238,x112,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1582606339721","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2937948"},{"teacherId":1954849,"projectId":9143727,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our 2nd grade classroom has been transformed into a warm, inviting space where reading comes alive!
