While items like deodorant, toothpaste, body wipes, and socks may seem simple, they make a significant difference in the lives of many of our students. Several students expressed appreciation knowing they would have access to products that help them feel clean, comfortable, and confident throughout the school day. Having these essentials readily available has helped remove barriers that can sometimes affect a student's focus, participation, and overall well-being.\r\n\r\nWe have been using these resources to support students who may not have immediate access to hygiene products at home or who find themselves in need during the school day. As a Health teacher, these supplies have also allowed me to reinforce lessons about personal hygiene and healthy habits with real-world connections. One meaningful moment occurred when a student discreetly asked for hygiene products and was relieved to know we had resources available without judgment or embarrassment. Opportunities like this remind us that meeting students' basic needs is an important part of helping them succeed academically and socially.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, we will continue incorporating discussions about personal health, self-care, and hygiene into our curriculum while ensuring students have access to the supplies they need. Your generosity has provided more than just products; it has helped promote dignity, confidence, and a sense of belonging for our students. Thank you for investing in their health and well-being and for making a lasting impact on our school community.","fullyFundedDate":1788289881544,"projectUrl":"project/confidence-starts-with-clean/10468463/","projectTitle":"Confidence Starts With Clean","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Goodman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5585084_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1693408942468","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5585084"},{"teacherId":10301601,"projectId":9792873,"letterContent":"Because of your generosity, my multilingual students were given more than classroom supplies—you gave them confidence, access, and hope.\r\nMany of my students enter math class feeling overwhelmed. Language barriers and abstract concepts can make algebra feel impossible. When our Hands2Mind manipulatives arrived, everything changed. Suddenly, math was no longer something they just heard about—it was something they could touch, build, and understand.\r\nUsing algebra tiles, positive and negative counters, and coordinate grids, students began to physically model equations. I watched students who once shut down during math light up with excitement as they made connections on their own. They proudly explained their thinking, pointing to the manipulatives as they spoke—something that wasn't happening before.\r\n\r\nThe Kaplan flashcards also became a daily favorite. Students practiced math vocabulary together, improving pronunciation, fluency, and confidence. For many, this was the first time they felt comfortable using academic language out loud in front of peers.\r\nBecause of you, our classroom made incredible progress. In just a month and a half, we reduced the number of students scoring at the Does Not Meet (Failing) level from 91% to 64%. That number represents real children—students who now believe they can succeed.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, my students love learning with these tools. They ask to use them. They support each other. They persevere when problems get hard.\r\nThank you for believing in my students and investing in their future. Your kindness has made a lasting impact that will continue far beyond this school year.","fullyFundedDate":1769177282001,"projectUrl":"project/speak-math-fluently-empowering-every-la/9792873/","projectTitle":"Speak Math Fluently: Empowering Every Language to Excel","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Allen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10301601"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_15901","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":613,"numTeachers":62,"percentFrplEligible":94,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":11,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":81,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"9.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":52.6,"schoolId":15901,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about William James Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"William James Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/fort-worth-independent-school-district/william-james-middle-school/15901"}
