As you know, public school teachers are given very limited supplies, and end up spending money out of their own pocket. Your contribution to our classroom is greatly appreciated and really makes a difference. \r\n\r\nWhen our new materials arrived, my students' reactions reminded me exactly why I love teaching. The moment they walked into the room and saw the boxes, their faces lit up with a mix of curiosity and excitement. Several students immediately asked, \"Is this for us?\" and crowded around as we unpacked everything. There was an immediate buzz—students flipping through resources, testing out materials, and talking about how they might use them in upcoming class projects. It was one of those small but powerful moments where you can truly see the impact of generosity in action.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students the chance to explore, create, and succeed. Your generosity made an immediate, visible difference in our classroom, and we are so grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1755739699747,"projectUrl":"project/new-book-storage-for-our-library/9401334/","projectTitle":"New Book Storage for Our Library!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Coleman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1433033_orig.jpg?crop=2448,2448,x0,y244&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725740189695","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1433033"},{"teacherId":1168395,"projectId":9752818,"letterContent":"Engaging in a consistent gratitude practice with my eleventh and twelfth grade students has been incredibly beneficial to our collecting mental health and emotional well being.

Your support has made a tremendous difference in my high school Spanish classroom. With the addition of new books to our library, my students now have a wealth of engaging, level-appropriate texts to explore during their choice reading time, transforming how they experience language learning.\r\n\r\nThese books are more than just reading material; they are tools for building confidence, fluency, and comprehension in Spanish. By immersing themselves in stories, my students practice essential skills like context clue recognition, vocabulary building, and grammatical structure analysis—all in an enjoyable and meaningful way. Each text opens a door to understanding different cultures, perspectives, and ways of life, creating a rich, immersive experience that makes learning Spanish exciting and personal.\r\n\r\nI've seen their curiosity blossom as they connect with characters and themes that resonate with their own lives. One student, who initially struggled with language learning, has developed a newfound love for reading because of these books. Another student has been diving into every graphic novel we received, and her enthusiasm is contagious, inspiring others to explore genres they've never tried before.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has empowered my students to see themselves as readers and learners who can embrace challenges and grow.
