The snacks you provided are being used in a very meaningful way, whenever a student is hungry, they are able to quietly take a snack and continue with their learning. This simple support has made a big difference in helping students stay focused and comfortable throughout the day.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the snacks, they were genuinely excited and grateful. Some of them were surprised that someone they had never met cared enough to provide for them in this way. It created a moment of appreciation that I will always remember, and it reminded my students that they are supported beyond the walls of our classroom.\r\n\r\nAs we continue working on our lessons, my students are building their language skills through participation, collaboration, and practice. Having access to snacks allows them to stay present and engaged, without the distraction of hunger. Your kindness is helping create a classroom where students feel cared for, supported, and ready to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1769192015313,"projectUrl":"project/little-reward/10038125/","projectTitle":"Little Reward","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ortega","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9848704"},{"teacherId":9845627,"projectId":9924889,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your support.

Having snacks to provide my high school kids is invaluable. I have students who just need a break from class and come see me for a five minute check in and snack. I have other kids who have food insecurity and need a bite to eat. Some students do not like going to the cafeteria and would rather have a granola bar to get them through the day.\r\n Other students are shy and do not seek my help, so rewarding them with a treat helps positively reinforce their visit and encourages them to come back to me for help. \r\n I also was able to buy gloves and hats for my students and have passed them out throughout the winter. Many students are from tropical nations and are not prepared for the New England weather. Many walk to school or take the public busses, waiting outside to transfer from one route to another. We have had two major snowstorms, four snow days and three virtual days due to the rough weather. Having a hat and gloves is essential to survival in this Providence climate.

Your support has made a meaningful and immediate impact on our students and our program.\r\n\r\nMany of the snowboards donated to our club over the years are still in excellent condition; however, the plastic bindings on many of them had worn out or broken, making the boards unsafe to use. Because of your donation, we were able to replace the old bindings with new ones and put those snowboards back on the mountain.\r\n\r\nBeyond the equipment itself, students were genuinely excited to learn how to remove damaged bindings and properly install new ones. This hands-on experience helped them develop practical skills, confidence, and a deeper understanding of how their equipment works an opportunity they would not have had without your generosity.\r\n\r\nWe were also able to create a safety bag stocked with snowboard replacement parts and tools, allowing us to make quick repairs when bindings break at the mountain. This has greatly improved both safety and efficiency during our ski club trips and ensures that students can spend more time on the slopes and less time sitting out due to equipment issues.","fullyFundedDate":1764733860395,"projectUrl":"project/snowboarding-safely/9927274/","projectTitle":"Snowboarding Safely","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lipa","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9846989"},{"teacherId":10363975,"projectId":9935368,"letterContent":"I cannot thank you enough for your kindness and generosity in giving towards my project \"Let's Learn How To Cook,\" by providing the funding for 2 electric skillets for my Special Education High School life skills/transition classroom. My students with severe intellectual disabilities have been learning to cook using various appliances. Having an electric skillet has enhanced my students' cooking skills by learning how to pan fry, saute, and deep fry various food items such as chicken, ground beef, potatoes, etc. They will also be beneficial for our May breakfast scheduled for early May, when they will learn how to cook all their breakfast favorites, i.e., scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, homefries, and pancakes. \r\n\r\nLearning to cook using an electric skillet is an excellent opportunity for students with severe intellectual disabilities to work on functional academic skills by creating hands-on learning experiences, as well as working on social skills, as they have to learn to communicate, work with one another, take turns, and use their manners. Having these electric skillets has helped to motivate my students by learning new recipes, which keep them engaged in a fun way. \r\n\r\nThe most important goal for every student who is in my classroom is to teach them to be as independent as possible by the time they graduate or exit high school. The students were very excited to learn that we received two brand new electric skillets through your generosity. They enjoy learning to be independent by making simple recipes in the classroom that they can cook at home. Thank you for making learning in my classroom fun and engaging.

Our materials for the cart finished arriving just in time for competition season, so students jumped right in to help get everything ready. They labeled and decorated the storage totes using the stickers and even designed and built custom brackets to securely hold the electrical strip on the cart. Seeing the cart come together as a functional, student-improved tool was a great moment for our team. We're excited to see it in action at competitions and outreach events—it's smooth as butter and has already saved our backs from a lot of unnecessary hardship.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the materials, the reaction was pure excitement. It was a welcome and refreshing break from the stress of building and troubleshooting robots. Instead of pressure, the focus shifted to collaboration, problem-solving, and testing something new. Building and testing the cart together gave everyone a chance to step back, breathe, and enjoy a hands-on win that immediately made our work more efficient.\r\n\r\nThanks to our donors, this project has made a big impact on how we transport and organize our materials for competitions and outreach events. While the cart has significantly improved our portability, our robotics space itself is still a work in progress. We are currently split between two rooms, which makes full organization a challenge. Our next steps involve continuing to refine our robotics room with the long-term goal of bringing everything together into one well-organized, functional space where students can work, build, and learn more efficiently.","fullyFundedDate":1765139868013,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-innovation-our-robotics-power-c/9925186/","projectTitle":"Fueling Innovation: Our Robotics Power Cart Project","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Vezina","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9730524_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y232&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1764807643628","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kristengineering"},{"teacherId":9722943,"projectId":9913106,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous contributions!
