The moment we unboxed the micro:bits, excitement filled the room—students couldn't wait to start exploring all the possibilities these boards offer.\r\n\r\nMy students have truly fallen in love with learning to code using the micro:bits. Whether they're creating interactive games, designing digital thermometers, or experimenting with sensors, each lesson sparks their curiosity and creativity. It's inspiring to see them collaborate, troubleshoot, and celebrate when their programs come to life. Their confidence grows with every new challenge they conquer.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity and belief in our classroom.

Your support has been instrumental in equipping our school with essential supplies dedicated to ensuring the safety and well-being of our students and staff.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has enabled us to distribute these crucial supplies to over 50 teachers, each of whom has incorporated them into our evacuation bags. These bags are a vital component of our emergency preparedness strategy, designed to be employed in the event that we need to evacuate the school for safety reasons.\r\n\r\nSince the receipt of these materials, we have conducted numerous practice drills to familiarize our teachers and students with evacuation procedures. Although these drills have been purely precautionary, the presence of the supplies in teachers' bags provides a significant sense of security. The materials you donated are intended to be used during real emergencies, and they serve a dual purpose: not only do they offer practical support, but they also help to calm students during potentially stressful situations.\r\n\r\nWhile we hope that we never face a situation requiring their use, it is reassuring to know that we are prepared. Your donation ensures that in the event of an actual emergency, we have the resources readily available to manage the situation effectively and maintain a calm environment for our students.\r\n\r\nWe are incredibly grateful for your contribution to this important initiative. Your support helps reinforce our commitment to safety and preparedness, making a significant impact on our school community.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your generosity and dedication to the safety of our students.","fullyFundedDate":1755699085255,"projectUrl":"project/stay-safe-stay-calm-well-be-okay/9506224/","projectTitle":"Stay Safe, Stay Calm, We'll Be Okay!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. DeLand","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1027103_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1535736926520","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jdeland"},{"teacherId":8298457,"projectId":8832773,"letterContent":"The cameras I was able to purchase has benefited my yearbook staff.
