Many shared that they had never used one before and eagerly asked if they could have one of their own. I promised them they would—and thanks to your generosity, that promise is now becoming a reality.\r\n\r\nAlthough the toothbrushes will be part of their Christmas gifts, the learning has already begun. Students are talking about healthy habits, asking thoughtful questions, and connecting our hygiene lessons to their own routines. This project truly supports our theme: Bright Smiles for Bright Second Graders.\r\n\r\nOur next step is continuing to build these habits through practice, reflection, and hands-on learning once they receive their toothbrushes. Your support has made my students feel seen, valued, and excited about taking charge of their health. Thank you for making this experience possible.","fullyFundedDate":1758858875540,"projectUrl":"project/bright-smiles-bright-futures-in-second/9571620/","projectTitle":"Bright Smiles, Bright Futures in Second Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Grayson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7074559_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1657683335985","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7074559"},{"teacherId":6719669,"projectId":9730497,"letterContent":"We're so grateful for your donation!
