Students have had a great time working on their labs and have all of the tools they need to find success in class. Headphones have been a lifesaver for independent work time and providing accessibility to students with different learning abilities as they can listen to articles read aloud to them. Snacks keep hungry bellies full and brains turned on. Sharp pencils are being used to formulate great science thinking and all of the tissues are helping us all to stay healthy during cold and flu season. The paper cutter has allowed me to be more efficient with creating interactive lessons and the stickers have been wonderful incentives for positive student behavior. \r\n\r\nStudents are feeling well supported and taken care of in the classroom community your contribution has helped us to cultivate.","fullyFundedDate":1754322382752,"projectUrl":"project/supplies-for-science-class/9284073/","projectTitle":"Supplies for Science Class","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Fuller","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9231295_orig.jpg?crop=2448,2448,x0,y783&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1693257263395","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9231295"},{"teacherId":9308403,"projectId":9759421,"letterContent":"To those who generously donated snacks to my counseling office, you have made a meaningful difference in my students' daily lives in ways that extend far beyond simply filling hungry stomachs. For many students, having access to snacks creates a welcoming, caring environment where they feel safe and supported, helping to build trust and openness during counseling check-ins and future planning, or simply addressing a need on their way to class. \r\n\r\nNutritious snacks also address immediate physical needs that can significantly impact a student's ability to focus, learn, and engage emotionally—hunger is a real barrier to both academic success and emotional regulation. By ensuring students have access to food, you as donors have helped remove one obstacle that might otherwise prevent my students from fully participating in their education and personal growth. \r\n\r\nPerhaps most importantly, this act of generosity sends a powerful message to students that their community cares about them and their wellbeing, reinforcing the sense that they matter and deserve support. The ripple effects of this kindness—improved concentration, reduced anxiety, and a stronger sense of belonging—have touched many students who may never know the names of those who gave, but who have certainly felt the impact of their compassion.","fullyFundedDate":1762266430314,"projectUrl":"project/more-than-snacks-building-trust-one-bit/9759421/","projectTitle":"More Than Snacks: Building Trust One Bite at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mads","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9308403_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y772&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1695916546670","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9308403"},{"teacherId":9308403,"projectId":9590016,"letterContent":"I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous contributions to enhance my school counseling office.

Your support demonstrates a genuine commitment to student well-being, and I am truly grateful for your investment in my students and school community at large.\r\n\r\nThe items you so generously provided—from fidgets and organizing supplies to office materials—have already had a tangible impact on our daily work. The fidgets, in particular, have become invaluable tools that help students self-regulate, ease emotions, and stay focused during our sessions. Students who walk into my office immediately feel more at ease in an organized, comfortable environment, and this directly contributes to their willingness to open up and engage in meaningful conversations. Your donations have transformed my counseling space into a sanctuary where both students and I can do our best work.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in the importance of counseling and guidance support in our schools and for taking concrete action to strengthen my counseling space.

Clear, consistent labels and organized systems have made it easier for me to manage the classroom efficiently, and even substitutes and fellow teachers can now find what they need without confusion.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. This donation has been instantly transformative. In today's educational environment, having reliable devices is not a luxury. it's a critical tool for equity, and adding these two computers immediately cut down on the waiting time for every student. This means less time watching and more time actively doing, creating, and engaging. These new tools don't just sit on a shelf; they are active gateways to learning that bring real time resources and collaborative digital workspaces into our daily lessons. \r\n\r\nThese two dedicated Chromebooks also serve a crucial, often unseen function: they provide essential contingency and reliability. In a busy school year, students inevitably lose, misplace, or accidentally damage their school-issued devices. Before your donation, a broken screen or a lost charger meant a student was completely sidelined until the device could be fixed or replaced, sometimes taking days or even weeks. Now, these two new machines act as our reliable classroom lifeline. They ensure that no student falls behind due to a technical glitch, guaranteeing that every child has the opportunity to participate in the day's digital lessons, regardless of the status of their personal machine. This reliable backup system is invaluable for maintaining consistent learning momentum for the entire class.","fullyFundedDate":1747105111704,"projectUrl":"project/chrombooks-for-students/9278175/","projectTitle":"Chrombooks for Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Schaeffer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9718265_orig.jpg?crop=640,640,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726673482404","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9718265"},{"teacherId":9005680,"projectId":8805540,"letterContent":"Thank you for the pink wagon!
