It is very much appreciated within the classroom as well as our Career and Technical Education hallway. They serve as a daily reminder to students the importance of being a great student, an outstanding employee, as well as what leadership skills are expected when they own or manage their own businesses in the future. \r\n\r\nAs a Title I campus, we really do appreciate not only your donation, but a visual to remind students to hold themselves accountable, and have all the information they need to make informed decisions about their future. In some instances, some of our students will be first-generation to go to a college, university, or even trade school. Collaboration with our Counselors and Career Technicians, students are able to get the most benefit out of qualified staff and additional city or state assistance to pursue their post-secondary goals. Regardless of what they pursue, we know we have prepared them to the best of our ability all four years in their high school career. Again, thank you for your donation.","fullyFundedDate":1755521903640,"projectUrl":"project/mrs-vasquezs-business-classroom-poster/9543356/","projectTitle":"Mrs. Vasquez's Business Classroom Posters","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Vasquez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7505778_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1601700101079","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7505778"},{"teacherId":1053782,"projectId":9413789,"letterContent":"It's remarkable what can take place when students feel empowered by their environment. We get to see this with the area we have created for our student, a place where quiet meets capacity and capacity meets imagination. There isn't anything these students cannot do. Every step in the education process is valuable, and the classroom environment matters most, especially for students who are reluctant to study.\r\nWhen boxes arrive, the students are elated with an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Although we got these during our summer months, the kids were thrilled to see what was happening in the classroom. We spent a lot of time transitioning from summer to class mode, but the areas came to life. Because of you, our classroom is more than a room—it's a launchpad for dreams. Thank you for believing in our students and giving them the space to soar.","fullyFundedDate":1751599982121,"projectUrl":"project/the-oasis-a-place-to-rise-recharge-r/9413789/","projectTitle":"The Oasis: A Place to Rise, Recharge & Reflect","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Yzaguirre (Mrs. Y)","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1053782_orig.jpg?crop=827,827,x0,y276&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1690597556657","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msyzaguirre"},{"teacherId":1053782,"projectId":9227701,"letterContent":"I want to express my gratitude for your generous contributions, which have made a significant impact in our classroom.

Your donation of the Minekkyes Plastic Latching Storage Box, Electric Balloon Pump, and an assortment of colorful balloons has already made a substantial impact on our learning environment, and I am excited to share with you how.\r\n\r\nWe integrated your contributions into a dynamic team-building activity centered on the themes of prioritizing, balancing responsibilities, and advocating for personal needs. The vibrant assortment of balloons was the perfect catalyst for this project. With the help of our new Electric Balloon Pump, we quickly inflated the balloons. During our team-building exercise, students were divided into small groups and tasked with a challenge: using the balloons as symbols, they strategized on how to balance academic goals with personal well-being. They discussed and then crafted a visual project where each balloon represented an aspect of life—whether it be workload management, self-care, or communication strategies. In one memorable moment, a group used their balloon to kick off a discussion on \"advocating for needs,\" drawing parallels between the delicate balance of the balloon's buoyancy and the careful balance required in everyday life. This metaphor not only engaged them emotionally but also deepened their understanding of self-advocacy and mutual support.
