Your support transformed a classroom assignment into something meaningful, tangible, and deeply personal for our students.\r\n\r\nAs students began testing recipes and revising their work, we quickly realized that this process is taking longer than anticipated. At this point, we are still in the draft stage, as students thoughtfully try recipes, make adjustments, and rewrite instructions to ensure clarity and accuracy. While the project is unfolding more slowly than planned, this extended process has actually deepened students' learning by emphasizing reflection, revision, and care in their work.\r\n\r\nThis cookbook has become a powerful tool for promoting empathy. As students explore their peers' recipes and cultural traditions, they are developing greater understanding, respect, and appreciation for one another. These are lessons that extend far beyond the kitchen and into how they relate to others in their school and community.\r\n\r\nYour generosity helped create an experience that blended creativity, cultural identity, and connection.

Your support has made a meaningful and lasting impact on our students and our school community.\r\n\r\nThese resources allow us to continue the gardening legacy of a beloved former colleague whose passion for hands-on, farm-to-table learning shaped our program for a number of years. Because of your generosity, that legacy will live on, giving students the opportunity to learn where food comes from, how to care for the land, and how thoughtful preparation connects the garden to the kitchen.\r\n\r\nThe sheds provide much-needed organization and accessibility, while the gloves and nail brushes help students develop professional habits around safety, hygiene, and responsibility. Together, these tools make it possible for us to fully integrate gardening into our curriculum in a way that feels purposeful, respectful, and sustainable.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, our students now have more opportunities to build practical skills, work collaboratively, and experience the pride that comes from growing, harvesting, and preparing food themselves. This kind of learning stays with them far beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and for helping us continue a tradition rooted in care, connection, and hands-on learning.","fullyFundedDate":1758857168372,"projectUrl":"project/carrying-on-the-garden-legacy/9584589/","projectTitle":"Carrying on the Garden Legacy","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Moreira","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10066208_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751113700338","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10066208"},{"teacherId":10066208,"projectId":9816717,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredibly generous gift of a refrigerator for my classroom. I can't even put into words how much this has changed our daily routine. Before your donation, I constantly had to juggle ingredients, stack things precariously, and hold my breath every time I opened the door because an avalanche was basically guaranteed. Now, every single day feels smoother, calmer, and so much more organized.\r\n\r\nThis extra refrigerator hasn't just improved our food labs. It has genuinely improved me as a teacher. All the time and energy I used to spend rearranging and troubleshooting storage issues has now been poured right back into my students, where it belongs. And they've noticed. They can feel the difference in the flow of our labs, and in my energy, too.\r\n\r\nTeaching can sometimes feel like swimming upstream without much help, but your kindness reminded me that we're not alone. Your generosity has lifted such a weight off my shoulders and has made a meaningful impact on both me and my students. Thank you for believing in our program and supporting the work we do every day.

Your support has brought an incredible amount of excitement and inspiration to our students!\r\n\r\nThey are thrilled to explore new creative possibilities with the food printer, experimenting with designs and colors in ways that were not possible before. The containers have also made a huge difference, helping them package their creations professionally and safely, which has boosted their confidence and pride in their work.\r\n\r\nRecently, the students used their skills to create edible ghost brownies, which they sold to raise funds for our county's Domestic Violence Center in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Seeing their work make a real impact in our community was incredibly rewarding for them.\r\n\r\nYour contribution is not only enhancing their culinary skills but also fostering teamwork, creativity, and a sense of social responsibility in ways that will have a lasting impact.

Your contribution has done more than update a space. It has empowered students, strengthened our sense of community, and sparked a renewed culture of giving and confidence among our teens.\r\n\r\nWhat was once a small, overlooked room has now become a source of pride and connection. Students describe Kacie's Kloset as a \"safe space\" where they feel supported and valued, not just for what they wear, but for who they are. The redesign inspired by your grant has made it easier for students to access clothing in a way that feels dignified, personal, and even joyful.\r\n\r\nThe transformation also ignited leadership among our SADD Club members. They took ownership of the project, assembling furniture, designing displays, and welcoming classmates into the new space. Watching them take such pride in serving their peers has been one of the most rewarding parts of this journey.\r\n\r\nThis year's homecoming illustrated the impact perfectly: over thirty students found their dresses through Kacie's Kloset, many of whom wouldn't have been able to attend otherwise. Each exchange, a dress for a can of food, created a beautiful cycle of kindness, reminding everyone that giving and receiving can go hand in hand.\r\n\r\nYour generosity helped turn this initiative from a simple act of sharing into a symbol of care and inclusion that our students truly embrace. As we continue to enhance the space with small touches, painting lockers, adding fairy lights, and creating stylish displays for donated shoes, we're also building something far more lasting: a culture of compassion and belonging that reaches well beyond our walls.\r\n\r\nThank you, from all of us at Kacie's Kloset, for believing in the power of community and for helping us show our students just how much they matter.","fullyFundedDate":1755084545369,"projectUrl":"project/enhancing-kaseys-kloset-free-prom-bout/9506461/","projectTitle":"Enhancing Kasey's Kloset (Free Prom Boutique)","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Moreira","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10066208_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751113700338","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10066208"},{"teacherId":10100934,"projectId":9516601,"letterContent":"I want to sincerely thank you for your generous donation to our Multicultural Quilt Project.

Your contribution has made a lasting impact on our Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) club and our entire school community.\r\n\r\nWe used the Cricut to design and create custom T-shirts featuring our SADD logo to promote the club. Each student also printed a personal message, motto, or uplifting quote on their shirt to express their individuality and inspire others. These shirts have already helped build a sense of belonging among our members and serve as a symbol of positivity during school and community events.\r\n\r\nIn October, our students participated in a ribbon-tying activity around town to raise awareness for Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The purple ribbons we displayed included local resources for those seeking help. Shortly after, students proudly wore their shirts to promote our Prom Dress Closet initiative, which ensures that every student can attend school events regardless of financial circumstance.\r\n\r\nDuring September's Suicide Prevention Month, we displayed motivational \r\nposters and shared the stickers you donated to spread messages of hope and mental health awareness. Looking ahead, our students are planning to use the Cricut to create banners that promote kindness, healthy choices, and support for one another, especially during the holidays.\r\n\r\nYour donation has truly uplifted our club and helped us triple our membership.

These books have been such a valuable addition to our classroom and have truly helped make our learning environment more inclusive and welcoming for all students.\r\n\r\nIn our Human Growth and Development class, the stories have sparked thoughtful conversations about empathy, identity, and understanding others' perspectives. As part of our lessons, students evaluated the books through the lens of the five CASEL competencies: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. We discussed how each story could help preschoolers and school-age children develop empathy, self-awareness, and a stronger sense of belonging through positive representation and emotional growth.\r\n\r\nOne of the most special moments was when my students each selected a favorite book to read to kindergarteners in our district. It was wonderful to see your donation continue to make an impact beyond our classroom, inspiring younger students and spreading messages of kindness and acceptance.\r\n\r\nThank you again for supporting our students and helping us grow both academically and emotionally.
