They are even asking for a sewing club!\r\n\r\nNone of this would be possible without you and your generous donation to my DonorsChoose project. Thank you so much for allowing us to mend clothes and hearts at school. \r\n\r\nThe students are eager to bring in items which need to be fixed and even some of their own creations and I can easily envision several days where we work with students to help them learn to sew. One student is even asking for a sewing machine for her birthday!

They are now not embarrassed to ask for help when they have forgotten a step of the hygiene process in the morning. They simply come to me discreetly and they are provided what they need. A positive outcome of this ability to provide students what they need is self-advocacy. They are learning to feel comfortable to speak up and ask for what they need.\r\n\r\nI arranged my cart so that all materials are organized and easy to access. Students were so excited to see that I was able to provide exactly what was needed so they could move on with their day well taken care of right from the start.\r\n\r\nKeeping my classroom clean and fresh helps each of us start each day with the right frame of mind. The air freshener and Clorox wipes keep us feeling great with the clean scent when we walk in the door, and the tissues get used more than you think with allergy season coming to an end and cold season approaching! I so appreciate your assistance in trying to keep us healthy.","fullyFundedDate":1755084342879,"projectUrl":"project/middle-school-student-hygiene-help/9513748/","projectTitle":"Middle School Student Hygiene Help!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Peters","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3170999_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1478226325145","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3170999"},{"teacherId":10082106,"projectId":9471106,"letterContent":"On behalf of my students and myself, I want to express our deepest gratitude for your generosity in fully funding our DonorsChoose project. As a special education teacher at a Title I school, I see firsthand the challenges my students face each day—academically, socially, and emotionally. Many of them come to school eager to learn but without access to the materials and tools they need to reach their full potential. Because of your kindness, that is no longer the case.\r\n\r\nYour donations have provided us with essential items that directly support my students' learning and development. Whether it's hands-on materials that help reinforce key concepts, sensory tools that improve focus and self-regulation, or basic classroom supplies that make learning engaging and accessible—each item has already made a noticeable difference. The smiles on their faces when we opened the packages said it all. They felt seen, supported, and valued, and that feeling of being cared for is something that can't be measured.\r\n\r\nFor many of my students, success doesn't always come easily. They need individualized instruction, patience, and the right resources to help them thrive. Your generosity has helped create an inclusive environment where every child can participate fully and proudly. The tools you've provided allow me to better meet their diverse learning needs, foster independence, and build confidence—skills that extend far beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in the power of education and for investing in students who need it most. Your support reminds us that there are people out there who care deeply about helping children succeed, no matter their circumstances. You've made our classroom brighter, more hopeful, and full of possibilities.","fullyFundedDate":1755084342825,"projectUrl":"project/2nd-year-special-ed-teacher/9471106/","projectTitle":"2nd Year Special Ed Teacher!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Phillips","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10082106_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x72,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1760122039274","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10082106"},{"teacherId":10030637,"projectId":9339547,"letterContent":"We are off to a fabulous start this school year thanks to your amazing donations.

We keep their materials on our new bookshelves in the room so they don't loose them. The children were so happy to be given brand new supplies that they can call their own. It has given them a sense of pride and I am so thankful for that! I have also been able to use treats and candy as rewards and they work so hard to earn them.
