Your support has helped us provide resources that meet students' basic needs so they can focus on learning, reading, and being successful throughout the school day.\r\n\r\nStudents are using these resources every day. The library has become a place where students know they can quietly and discreetly access a snack or hygiene item when they need one. One especially memorable moment occurred when a student who had skipped breakfast came into the library looking tired and distracted. After grabbing a snack and taking a few minutes to regroup, they were able to return to class feeling more focused and ready to learn. Small moments like these remind us that meeting students' basic needs is essential to their academic success and overall well-being.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the supplies, many were surprised and incredibly grateful. Some students quietly expressed relief that these items were available, while others were excited to know that there was a place on campus where they could get what they needed without embarrassment or judgment. Knowing that caring people they have never met chose to support them made many students feel seen and valued.\r\n\r\nThe next step for our students is continuing to build a school culture where every student feels safe, supported, and ready to learn. The library serves as more than a place for books—it is a space for studying, reading, collaborating, and connecting with others. By ensuring students have access to snacks and hygiene supplies, we are helping remove barriers that can interfere with learning and allowing students to fully engage in their classes, projects, and future goals.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students in such a meaningful way. Your generosity is helping create a caring environment where students know they matter and where they can focus on growing, learning, and reaching their full potential. The impact of your kindness extends far beyond the supplies themselves, and we are deeply grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1778261808686,"projectUrl":"project/getting-ready-for-a-great-new-school-yea/10187704/","projectTitle":"Getting Ready for a Great New School Year!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Leslie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6884361_orig.jpg?crop=2048,2048,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1628105750353","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msleslienavarro"},{"teacherId":6884361,"projectId":10269273,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of books in multiple languages for our high school library. Your gift is helping us create a collection that celebrates the many cultures and languages represented in our school community. These books are more than stories—they are opportunities for students to see themselves reflected in literature and to connect with experiences beyond their own.\r\n\r\nMany people love books but may not realize how much learning can happen through them. These new texts help students develop literacy skills, vocabulary, comprehension, and critical thinking. They also support language acquisition for multilingual learners and encourage all students to build empathy, cultural awareness, and global perspectives. Having access to books in students' home languages strengthens reading confidence and helps foster a lifelong love of reading.\r\n\r\nReading in our library looks different for every student. Some students are curled up with a book that reminds them of home, while others are exploring stories and cultures that are new to them. Students read independently, share recommendations with friends, discuss favorite characters, and often discover that stories transcend language barriers. We strive to create a welcoming environment where students can read for pleasure, curiosity, and personal growth.\r\n\r\nSeveral students have been especially excited about these new books. Our multilingual learners are thrilled to find books in languages they speak at home, and many have expressed how meaningful it is to see their languages represented on our shelves. Students who are studying world languages have also enjoyed exploring texts in languages they are learning. It has been wonderful to watch students eagerly recommend books to one another and experience the joy of finding stories that speak to them personally.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping us provide books that affirm students' identities, broaden perspectives, and inspire a love of reading. Your generosity is making a meaningful difference in the lives of our students.","fullyFundedDate":1778261811721,"projectUrl":"project/diverse-books-for-diverse-students/10269273/","projectTitle":"Diverse Books for Diverse students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Leslie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6884361_orig.jpg?crop=2048,2048,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1628105750353","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msleslienavarro"},{"teacherId":10436855,"projectId":10100252,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations to my DonorsChoose project. As many of you know, school budgets continue to face cuts, and this past year my classroom supply allotment was only $80 for the entire school year. Providing students with the materials they need to learn can be challenging under those circumstances, which makes your support especially meaningful.\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, I will be able to start the upcoming school year with essential classroom supplies such as pencils, markers, chargers, and glue. These may seem like simple items, but they make a tremendous difference in creating a classroom where students can fully participate, stay engaged, and focus on learning. Your generosity directly impacts my students and helps ensure they have the tools they need to succeed from the very first day of school.

Having reliable chargers available helped students stay focused and engaged without interruptions from dead devices.\r\n\r\nThe art supplies have also helped students complete hands-on U.S. History projects and dioramas that brought historical topics to life.

We're going to look at how an author takes a massive global issue and turns it into a gripping story. It's about teaching my students that \"research\" doesn't have to be dry—it can be a passionate call to action.\r\n\r\nAfter the silence of standardized testing, I want my classroom to be loud again. We'll be using these texts for student-led debates and \"Socratic\" circles. I'm especially excited for my students who claim they \"hate reading\" because they find fiction boring. \r\n\r\nThank you for giving my kids something real and urgent to dig into.

With the supplies provided by your generosity, my students were able to create historical projects that coincided with their culture as well as current times.\r\n\r\nThe students were really pleased to see the binders, markers and glue sticks because they understood they could be creative and expressive. With the binders, students were able to journal their thoughts on impacts of historical events on their current lives. I do feel this has helped because many times, it is difficult to teach history and discuss the past and creating relevance for present times. I told them to focus on their own life experiences and trace how they were impacted by the historical occurrences of the past.\r\n\r\nWe utilized poster boards to create theme-oriented invitations to special events as well as describing contributions of historical figures. I have a diverse group of students, and yet we have continued debates about inclusion and significance of the make-up of the American culture. I do believe the project-based learning activities empowered my students to understand their own values and contributions to American history.

I am excited to try out the Fiber kit as the year progresses.\r\n\r\nTo make this high-level learning and flexibility possible, we needed the to have technology.
