The refillable ink printer has been a total game changer—students can now receive copies, handouts, and printouts right when they need them, without me having to wait in line for the copier in the teacher's lounge. Along with the boxes of markers, scissors, glue sticks, colored paper, white cardstock, and giant sticky note pads, my students are able to fully engage in their interactive notebooks and classroom projects every single day.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials arrived, my students were beyond excited. They couldn't believe we had so much to work with, and immediately started asking what projects we could create next. What stood out the most was the relief and confidence I saw in them—students no longer worry about not having supplies or needing to \"save\" materials. Instead, they jump right into learning, experimenting, and expressing their ideas freely.\r\n\r\nI am so happy that these resources will continue to support our lessons by allowing students to focus on creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking rather than worry about not having supplies they need. Whether they are building interactive notebook pages, brainstorming on sticky notes, or designing projects that show their learning, your support has removed barriers and opened doors. Thank you for believing in my students and helping create a classroom where creativity truly thrives.","fullyFundedDate":1760039675444,"projectUrl":"project/notebook-magic-printing-paper-and-crush/9438744/","projectTitle":"Notebook Magic: Printing Paper and Crushing Goals!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tijerina","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5953904_orig.jpg?crop=1284,1284,x0,y329&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751157825884","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5953904"},{"teacherId":10048496,"projectId":9391178,"letterContent":"The donations have made a meaningful and lasting impact on our student support group by providing essential tools that help students practice emotional regulation and strengthen their mental health. Because the group meets once a week in a shared space, the ability to bring in and remove these materials has been critical to creating a consistent, welcoming, and purposeful environment each session. The items donated allow us to transform the room into a safe, engaging space where students can focus on learning skills that help them be emotionally ready to return to class and fully participate in learning.\r\n\r\nThrough these materials, students are learning valuable coping skills and social-emotional strategies in hands-on and meaningful ways. During group, they engage in activities such as crafts, journaling, and circle discussions that encourage self-expression, reflection, and connection with others. Many of these students are facing significant challenges, yet they show remarkable courage—especially when they ask for support or guidance. The donated items give them a voice through art, writing, and conversation, and help them build the confidence and emotional tools they need to manage their feelings, strengthen relationships, and succeed in the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1755470273955,"projectUrl":"project/our-middle-school-counseling-group/9391178/","projectTitle":"Our Middle School Counseling Group","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jurado","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10048496_orig.png?crop=268,268,x6,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1767731142828","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10048496"},{"teacherId":9100858,"projectId":9692540,"letterContent":"Thanks to your incredible generosity, our wrestling room is now cleaner, safer, and healthier than ever before. The vacuums and disinfectant supplies you donated have made an immediate and visible difference for our Gladiator Wrestling team. We are now able to keep our practice area spotless on a daily basis, removing dust, debris, and sweat residue that used to build up quickly during intense training sessions.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, your support has helped us maintain a sanitary environment that protects our student-athletes from skin infections and illnesses some of the most common risks in wrestling. With the new equipment, our team can disinfect mats faster and more thoroughly, ensuring every practice begins with a clean and safe space. This gives our wrestlers peace of mind and allows them to focus on improving, competing, and enjoying the sport they love.\r\n\r\nYour donation didn't just give us cleaning supplies it gave our athletes pride in their environment, confidence in their safety, and a sense of professionalism that motivates them to train harder.

Before, our vocabulary and examples lived only in notebooks; now, students interact with content every single day through dynamic, rotating word walls. These chalkboards allow us to create visual, hands-on reference spaces that students help build themselves. When we introduce new math terms like \"rational,\" \"vertex,\" \"compound interest,\" or \"transformation\" students immediately add definitions, diagrams, color-coded examples, and even real-world applications directly to the chalkboards.\r\n\r\nBecause the word walls stay up and evolve throughout each unit, students constantly revisit concepts. I frequently see them walking to the boards on their own during practice time, using the visuals to check their understanding or explain problems to each other. This has improved retention, boosted confidence, and encouraged far more peer-to-peer teaching than I saw before.\r\n\r\nThe chalkboards also give students ownership. They take pride in designing and updating the word walls, turning vocabulary into something creative, memorable, and student-driven.\r\n\r\nYour support didn't just add chalkboards it added a living learning tool that makes every lesson clearer, more interactive, and more meaningful. My students and I truly thank you.","fullyFundedDate":1755438151147,"projectUrl":"project/interactive-word-walls/9611692/","projectTitle":"Interactive Word Walls","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. MORENO","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9100858_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1689630057606","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/coachmoreno"},{"teacherId":5630931,"projectId":9477034,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our project!
