Frequent, positive rewards are a key part of our program's success, and your support helps make those moments possible. Highly motivating rewards like stuffed animals, slime, and special treats encourage students to keep trying their best, even when learning feels challenging.\r\n\r\nThis year, our students have also developed a love for blank notebooks. They use them to write stories, draw pictures, and express themselves creatively. Thanks to your generosity, these favorites—along with other fun surprises—will be hidden inside the eggs, making the experience even more exciting and meaningful.\r\nThe smiles, excitement, and pure surprise on our students' faces will be priceless. Your kindness reminds them that their hard work matters and that there are people cheering them on beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping make our school a more joyful and motivating place to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1741270137875,"projectUrl":"project/egg-stra-special-reward/9139783/","projectTitle":"Egg-stra Special Reward","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hill","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3098855_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1663031385925","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-hill-cse-reading"},{"teacherId":3797265,"projectId":10021818,"letterContent":"The comfort you have provided for our students is tremendous!

Our school nurse was overjoyed when we presented her with new underpants for both girls and boys. \r\n\r\nThe snacks you provided were appreciated as they warmed the hearts and filled the bellies of our students. Jelly beans, goldfish, and granola bars are among the class favorites when it comes to snacks. My students want to send you a great big, \"Yummm!\"\r\n\r\nI think the most favorite gift our students received are the brand new t-shirts. They look so nice in a clean white t-shirt.

The clipboard organizers are helping students keep their materials neat and accessible during small-group rotations and independent work, while the desk pets have become a fun and motivating way for students to practice responsibility and focus. When the students first saw the new materials, their faces lit up with excitement—they were eager to organize their workspaces and couldn't wait to introduce their desk pets to our classroom routines. Two especially memorable moments were watching students carefully set up their organizers and also reminding one another of expectations so they can earn a chance to get more accessories for their desk pets. Thanks to your support, students are now more engaged and prepared as we move into our next reading and writing projects. They will use their organizers as clipboards to write on and store their work while continuing to build independence and self-management skills.","fullyFundedDate":1762267548243,"projectUrl":"project/empower-through-organization-and-systems/9490096/","projectTitle":"Empower Through Organization and Systems","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cline","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2594579_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753195162542","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2594579"},{"teacherId":709208,"projectId":9830082,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting this project.

One of the students even brought in some of his baked cookies to share. During our fun-filled day, students practiced multiplication, addition, and subtraction. They were invited to wear aprons from home, and decorate a baking hat in school. \r\nSo many of the students have never had the opportunity to bake cookies at home so this was a real treat for them.

This project was a huge hit among the students. They loved going around the classroom and writing something positive to each of their classmates. The students have proudly worn their shirts a few times, and each time their are big smiles on the students' faces. When asked about the shirts, they happily explain that we did this to spread kindness and positivity in the classroom. This is one of my personal favorite activities that I do each year.

The students have been able to use the carpet everyday during morning meeting and read alouds. \r\n\r\nThe carpet was delivered, during the day while students were at intervention. When the students walked in the room after the carpet was delivered they were beyond excited to see the new carpet and be able to be spaced out. \r\n\r\nI can't thank you all again enough for donating to the classroom!
