The classroom feels brighter—both literally and figuratively! We've been using the new materials during small-group lessons, review days, and independent work time. For example, our \"Snack & Study\" Fridays have become a favorite routine—students grab a treat, settle in, and dive into their social studies review activities with excitement and focus.\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the students' faces lit up. They couldn't believe everything was just for them. One student said, \"Now we can actually stay full and keep learning!\" It was such a simple but powerful reminder of how much these small comforts matter.\r\nThese resources have helped build a classroom environment where students feel valued, cared for, and ready to learn. Next, we're gearing up for our upcoming unit on the Constitution, and the energy from these treats and supplies will keep our momentum strong as we tackle new material and prepare for our end-of-semester projects.\r\nThank you for fueling both their minds and their motivation—you've made a lasting difference in our classroom community!","fullyFundedDate":1757511027305,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-minds-one-treat-at-a-time/9680531/","projectTitle":"Fueling Minds, One Treat at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. A","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10013311_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756952907978","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10013311"},{"teacherId":10013311,"projectId":9318205,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, \"Bringing Comfort Back to Middle School\" has truly transformed the atmosphere in our classroom. My students immediately noticed the difference, having access to comfortable seating and classroom resources has given them a sense of ownership and pride in their learning space. One moment that stood out was when several students eagerly gathered in the new seats during group discussions, commenting on how it made class feel \"more like home.\" This shift has helped even my most reluctant learners feel more at ease and ready to engage.\r\n\r\nThe impact of your support is already visible in our daily lessons. Students are using the new resources to collaborate during social studies projects, participate more fully in discussions, and stay focused during independent reading time. Instead of worrying about distractions, they now have an environment that supports both comfort and concentration. Their reactions, smiles, excitement, and even comments about wanting to stay longer in class, show just how much this change means to them.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we're excited to continue using these resources as we dive into upcoming projects on the American Revolution. Students will be working in groups, using their new classroom space to collaborate, debate, and create presentations. I'm confident that the comfort and support you've helped provide will allow them to think critically, share ideas more freely, and grow as learners. Thank you for giving my students not only the tools to succeed, but also the message that their education and well-being matter.\r\nWith gratitude,","fullyFundedDate":1755798027641,"projectUrl":"project/bringing-comfort-back-to-middle-school/9318205/","projectTitle":"Bringing Comfort Back to Middle School","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. A","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10013311_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756952907978","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10013311"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_10236","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1239,"numTeachers":77,"percentFrplEligible":78,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":28,"percentWhite":8,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":52,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"16.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":44.4,"schoolId":10236,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mayde Creek Junior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mayde Creek Junior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/katy-independent-school-district/mayde-creek-junior-high-school/10236"}
