On behalf of my students and myself, I want to extend our deepest gratitude for your generous donations of food and Spanish-English dictionaries for the families of my students as well as the classroom supplies and food.\r\nYour support has made a profound difference in the lives of our students. The food donations have helped ensure that every child in our room can focus on learning without the distraction of hunger. \r\nThe Spanish-English dictionaries have been equally transformative. By supplying parents and loved ones of the students with tools we have empowered parents as well as built stronger family to school relationships.\r\nYour kindness has created a ripple effect—boosting academic achievement, fostering inclusion, and reminding our students that they are supported by a community that believes in their potential. Thank you for being part of that community.","fullyFundedDate":1743698176298,"projectUrl":"project/english-language-learners-dictionaries/9008035/","projectTitle":"English Language Learners' Dictionaries and Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Edwards","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4055967"},{"teacherId":9931778,"projectId":9131924,"letterContent":"It's an exciting time in our gymnasium! Both myself and the members of the school basketball team are thrilled with the generous donation of new game day basketballs and shoe grip. These resources have already made a tangible difference in our training sessions and are fostering a renewed sense of pride and professionalism within the team.\r\n\r\nFor me, the new game day basketballs have elevated the quality of our practices significantly. The consistent feel and reliable grip of these balls allow for more precise drills focusing on shooting accuracy, ball handling, and passing techniques. We no longer have to contend with worn-out equipment that can lead to unpredictable bounces or slippery surfaces. This consistency allows for a more focused and productive training environment, enabling the students to hone their skills more effectively. The shoe grip has also been a game-changer, literally! The enhanced traction provides our players with greater stability during quick pivots, fast breaks, and defensive maneuvers, reducing the risk of slips and allowing them to play with more confidence and agility.\r\n\r\nThe initial reaction of the students upon seeing the new basketballs and shoe grip was one of pure excitement and gratitude. When the equipment was unveiled, there were audible gasps and wide smiles across the gymnasium. They immediately gravitated towards the pristine basketballs, eager to feel the texture and test their bounce. The shoe grip was met with similar enthusiasm, with players trying it out on the court and noticing the immediate improvement in their traction. There was a palpable sense of being valued and invested in, knowing that the donors cared enough to provide them with high-quality gear. This boost in morale has translated directly into increased enthusiasm and effort during practices.","fullyFundedDate":1742582350361,"projectUrl":"project/game-day/9131924/","projectTitle":"Game Day","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gilreath","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9931778"},{"teacherId":9932212,"projectId":9216348,"letterContent":"Thank you very much for your kind and generous contributions toward my project.
