Because of your kindness, our classroom received a complete set of custodial supplies—including a custodian cart, mops, brooms, dusters, and cleaning materials—that are already making a huge impact on our students' learning.\r\n\r\nThese tools allow my students to gain hands-on experience with real-world job skills. As part of our employability instruction, students are responsible for cleaning and maintaining designated areas on campus. With these professional supplies, they are learning the importance of teamwork, responsibility, and pride in their work. It's been incredible to see how seriously they take their roles and how much confidence they gain from doing meaningful tasks that prepare them for future employment.\r\n\r\nYour support helps bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-life experience. You have given my students the opportunity to build practical skills that will serve them well beyond high school. We are deeply grateful for your generosity and for believing in the potential of every learner.","fullyFundedDate":1746492037320,"projectUrl":"project/becoming-conscientious-employees/9300560/","projectTitle":"Becoming Conscientious Employees","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Williams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6628790_orig.jpg?crop=1539,1539,x0,y466&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1566164874069","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/williamspyles"},{"teacherId":6628790,"projectId":9321919,"letterContent":"I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your generous support of my DonorsChoose project.

These new workbooks have given my students more choices and opportunities to practice reading, comprehension, and critical thinking in ways that feel relevant and empowering to them. It's been inspiring to see their confidence grow as they realize that learning can be both accessible and enjoyable.\r\n\r\nYour kindness and investment have made a real difference in our classroom.

Unfortunately, my budget constraints led to budget friendly headphones that don't last.\r\n\r\nYou have changed all that! We have more than enough for all of my students and some put aside for next.
