They didn't just watch a performance—they became part of it. The energy in the room was electric as children participated in songs and skits that made big ideas feel personal and real. Through joyful expression and active involvement, they saw these values in action, and more importantly, how to practice them in their own lives.\r\n\r\nYour contribution didn't stop at the assembly. Because of your gift, students now have access to dramatic play materials that allow them to continue exploring these values through play. Whether acting out stories of helping a friend, trying again after a challenge, or taking responsibility, our students are now empowered to model what they saw and felt during the assembly. These play experiences deepen their understanding and encourage them to live out these values every day.\r\n\r\nYour support has made a lasting impact—sparking creativity, empathy, and growth in every child. Thank you for making this experience possible.","fullyFundedDate":1745939728540,"projectUrl":"project/kindness-musical-assembly-follow-up-thro/9127118/","projectTitle":"Kindness Musical Assembly Follow Up Through Classroom Play","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Russell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9929847"},{"teacherId":8787471,"projectId":9011844,"letterContent":"I can not thank you enough for your generous donations which helped to purchase decodable books and incentives for the students I work with!
