We have been able to reach almost all of the students in middle school, and that is truly amazing. The pictures that I have shared are from a few of the teachers who you was able to bless the students in the BASE classroom, and for Special Needs children who needed snacks to reach the end of the school year. With the kindness of your hearts, the students have been truly blessed and grateful for the snacks. Being able to reach the students when it is hard, towards the end of the year, and every day that they come to school. But you have given with the kindness of your hearts to stop the hungry. And a few other photos showing a few of the students who wanted to show their appreciation and love from the bottom of their hearts. So thank you for doing just that, and giving to them in the trying time, when it is not even their fault. We have also been able to reach the students who have to come to school over summer break. And with the students only coming part-time during the summer, it's hard to find donations for the students. But with your generous and kind heart, we have been able to reach the students over the summer. So, thank you for giving and for picking my project to show the love in our small town. We may be small, but we can still show the love and kindness that this world needs to help students continue their education. And you all have been able to make a difference in this world. And thank you so much and truly from the bottom of my heart, thank you for choosing my project. Together, we will be the difference. It starts with us to choose kindness. Again, we will be the change for the greater good, the good lord has called us to be, and with your blessing, the students have had more than enough to get them through and then some. Truly, you are a blessing, and I wish nothing but the best for you all.","fullyFundedDate":1746125003016,"projectUrl":"project/buddy-pack-to-go-2/9131051/","projectTitle":"Buddy Pack to Go #2","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cortez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9851888_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754071753557","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9851888"},{"teacherId":9851888,"projectId":9032193,"letterContent":"We want to give you a big thanks for blessing our classroom with food for the students to take home over the weekend.
