Your kindness has made a direct impact on our classroom and has truly helped us create a more supportive and welcoming environment for every child.\r\n\r\n For many of our students, having consistent access to healthy snacks has been essential for staying regulated, calm, and focused during learning. These small but meaningful breaks give them the energy they need to engage in lessons, work through challenges, and build positive connections with peers and teachers. Your contribution has helped meet a need that goes far beyond simple nourishment.\r\n\r\n We are deeply grateful for your support and for believing in the importance of our students' well-being and education. Your generosity reminds us that our community values every child's potential and is committed to helping them succeed. Thank you again for making such a difference in our classroom and in the lives of our students each day.","fullyFundedDate":1749958299742,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-to-help-with-learning/9175876/","projectTitle":"Snacks to Help With Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Rossman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8957796_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1729721794149","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8957796"},{"teacherId":8957796,"projectId":8854592,"letterContent":"I want to thank you all for this donation to our classroom! The fidgets, toys, laminator, velcro, calculators and all other supplies have helped us out a whole lot this year. Our students range with very different support needs which has been a challenge for us this year. The materials have been a big help in supporting some of our high support needs as our teacher has worked with them one on one. We have seen such a big improvement with all our kids in terms of behavior and academics. \r\n With these new materials I have been able to make new folder tasks, create new rewards for the kids, and overall just provide more for them this year. I'll say it was very heart warming just to see their reactions when we received the packages and opened them in the classroom. It was like Christmas for them! \r\n I apologize for the very late response to you all, it has been a busy year with a lot of changes happening, including quite a few changes in staff.

I still plan to create a thinking classroom I guess it just will not be for this year.
