These resources have already taken away a lot of the quiet barriers my students deal with every day. Having snacks in the room helps the kids who come in hungry or unfocused, and the hygiene products have given several students a way to take care of themselves without feeling embarrassed. Because of your support, they're able to focus more on learning instead of worrying about things they can't control, and you can really see the difference in their confidence and engagement.\r\n\r\nThese items will continue to support my kids throughout the year. My goal is always to keep my classroom a safe space where their basic needs are met so they can show up as their best selves academically and emotionally.

The moment our cheerleaders received their new reusable tumblers, the energy in the room shifted—they were smiling, laughing, and immediately began matching them with their team bags and uniforms. What might seem like a small addition has already made a huge impact on our program.\r\n\r\nThese tumblers have given our team a stronger sense of unity and belonging. As a cheer squad, every detail matters, our uniforms, our routines, and even the way we show up to represent our school. Now, with matching reusable tumblers and a carrying tray to transport them, the cheerleaders feel like a complete, professional team. They were so proud to take their new tumblers to practice and show them off during our the school day, games, and events.\r\n\r\nYour support means the world to us, and it's because of donors like you that our students get to experience the joy of teamwork, sustainability, and school pride all at once.

Your kindness has made a lasting impact on our students and our growing media program. Because of you, our students are now able to explore the world of visual storytelling in ways that were previously out of reach.\r\n\r\n\r\nThanks to your donations, that dream has become a reality. The excitement in our classroom when we unboxed our new lenses was unmatched students immediately began learning how each lens type affects the image, experimenting with angles, lighting, and focus.\r\n\r\nDue to some items selling out after our project was funded, we had to make a few adjustments and select new lenses. While this unexpected change could have been a challenge, it turned into a valuable learning opportunity for our students. They researched different focal lengths, compared specifications, and learned how photographers and filmmakers choose the right lens for each shot.\r\n\r\nWith our new lenses, we can now capture a much wider variety of shots. One lens allows students to take wide-angle photos and videos, perfect for group portraits, event coverage, and scenic storytelling. The other lens is ideal for close-up frames, helping students focus on the details that make each story unique—expressive faces, product shots for student businesses, or fine details in art projects. These tools have already enhanced the quality of our content and inspired students to think more creatively about how they document school life.","fullyFundedDate":1746787427727,"projectUrl":"project/pose-for-the-camera/9084757/","projectTitle":"Pose for the Camera!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Holliday","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5516741_orig.png?crop=600,600,x0,y106&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757036941728","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msbholliday"},{"teacherId":10071469,"projectId":9447442,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our library wishlist was fully funded, and every item—from supplies to décor—has made an immediate difference in creating a welcoming, engaging space for our students. The transformation has turned our library into not just a place to read, but a place to explore, create, and feel at home.\r\n\r\nOne specific moment that stood out was the first time my students walked into the newly refreshed space. Their eyes lit up as they noticed the colorful décor, organized supplies, and cozy reading areas. Several students immediately grabbed books and settled in, commenting, \"It feels like a real bookstore!\" and \"I want to stay here all day.\" That excitement is exactly the kind of joy and ownership we hoped they would feel.\r\n\r\nRight now, our class is celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month. Each day, I read to them from stories that highlight Hispanic voices, culture, and traditions. Afterward, students take part in book-related activities that spark conversations, creativity, and connections. The new library materials make these lessons even more engaging—students are more eager to participate because the space feels special and inviting.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, our students not only have the tools they need, but also a beautiful environment that fosters joy, curiosity, and a love for reading.
