The new solar inverter now powers our water pump, allowing us to circulate water through the wetland feature the students designed and built themselves. This sustainable energy component has not only made the project fully functional but has also given students firsthand experience with renewable energy in action.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the pump flowing water through their projects, their excitement was unforgettable. They gathered around the water feature with wide eyes, eager hands, and huge smiles. Many of them couldn't believe that something they had planned, measured, and constructed was now working exactly as they hoped. Seeing the water move through the system made their learning feel real, purposeful, and inspiring.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, students are thinking bigger than ever. Our next steps involve diving into water quality science by testing how clean and clear our water is—from wetland to pond. Students will learn about filtration, clarity, pH, and the connection between healthy water and healthy ecosystems. Your contribution didn't just help us complete a project; it opened the door to a new level of inquiry, discovery, and environmental stewardship.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students the opportunity to learn, explore, and create with resources that empower their curiosity every day.","fullyFundedDate":1758689884810,"projectUrl":"project/solar-powered-wetland-project/9651893/","projectTitle":"Solar Powered Wetland Project","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Zamora","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10224957_orig.jpg?crop=1442,1442,x0,y48&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756323448699","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10224957"},{"teacherId":8946298,"projectId":9499081,"letterContent":"The donation of yoga mats has made a powerful and immediate impact on our Mats for Mindfulness project at Buell Central. Because of this generous contribution, our students now have equitable access to a safe, comfortable space where they can practice calming strategies, build emotional regulation skills, and engage in meaningful self-care during the school day.\r\nWith their own mat, students feel a sense of ownership and pride—something especially meaningful in a DAEP setting. These mats allow us to bring mindfulness, stretching, breathing exercises, and restorative movement directly into PREP and SEL lessons, helping reduce stress, increase focus, and promote more positive behavior choices.\r\nMost importantly, the donation reinforces to our students that their well-being matters. Community support like this shows them that people believe in their success, their growth, and their ability to build healthier coping skills. Every mat represents a moment of peace, a reset, and a step toward emotional stability—and our students feel that daily.\r\nThe impact is not just physical; it's transformative. These mats help us create a calmer campus culture while empowering our students with lifelong tools for mindfulness and wellness.","fullyFundedDate":1755089689233,"projectUrl":"project/mats-for-mindfulness/9499081/","projectTitle":"Mats for Mindfulness","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Prado","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8946298_orig.jpg?crop=752,752,x1545,y1155&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1730923871742","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8946298"},{"teacherId":9786863,"projectId":9307789,"letterContent":"Dear Donors,\r\nOn behalf of Buell Central High School, we would like to sincerely thank you for your generous contribution through Donors Choose.
