Your generosity is making a profound difference in our classroom.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, we can now provide our students with materials that nurture a growth mindset. The inspirational posters, books, and interactive tools you've helped fund are vital in teaching our students the importance of effort, resilience, and viewing mistakes as learning opportunities. It's been heartwarming to see how students have embraced these concepts, becoming more confident in tackling challenges and viewing themselves as integral members of our classroom community.\r\n\r\nMoreover, your support has enabled us to transform our classroom into a cozy and inviting learning space. By providing funds for comfortable seating, cozy reading nooks, and organizational supplies, you've helped create an environment where students feel at ease and fully engaged in their learning journey. This sense of belonging has been pivotal in fostering a strong classroom community.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your invaluable support and for believing in the potential of our students.","fullyFundedDate":1715136209375,"projectUrl":"project/123-we-can-do-hard-things-growth-mind/8266274/","projectTitle":"1,2,3 We Can Do Hard Things!

Wintertime is always difficult with the amount of sicknesses going around.\r\n\r\nEvery kid in the school comes to art, and so we often go through coloring materials quite quickly. Markers seem to be the ones that need to be replaced the fastest. Especially with the younger kids using them and the lids not always being replaced correctly.
