Your donations helped us create a safe, inclusive, and joy-filled celebration for families throughout our community.\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, we were able to welcome over 350 children and their families, from our community, to enjoy an evening of fun, connection, and care. Your candy contributions help provide and transform our parking lot into a sweet space where every child could feel included and every family could celebrate without barriers.\r\n\r\nThe smiles we saw, the laughter we heard, and the sense of belonging felt throughout the event were a direct result of your generosity. Thanks to you, we were able to:\r\n•\tProvide a safe space for families to celebrate together\r\n•\tFoster a spirit of inclusion and community connection\r\n•\tCreate lasting memories and joy for children of all ages\r\n\r\nYour support reminds us of what's possible when a community comes together with open hearts and shared purpose.

From the moment the club was announced, students were extremely excited to be a part of the club and to discover more about the study of Historical European Martial Arts. This ultimately led to a group of 16 dedicated students forming the inaugural batch of the Wolverine Fencing Club.\r\n\r\nThrough the donations provided from DonorsChoose, we were able to provide eight fencing masks for our club members, allowing us to divide our club into two teams, Red and Blue. By having the masks available from the very beginning, our club was able to immediately begin safe and effective learning, training, and sparring. Students in the Wolverine Fencing Club were extremely dedicated, with 100% attendance from club members through every meeting. \r\n\r\nLooking forward, students are already asking about the club for the 2025-26 school year and I am extremely excited to reintroduce the club, this time for a much longer duration through the year. Your support has brought a unique and exciting club to Wilder Middle School and we are forever thankful to you for supporting our crazy little club!","fullyFundedDate":1742911756371,"projectUrl":"project/fencing-masks-for-the-wolverine-fencing/9192346/","projectTitle":"Fencing Masks for the Wolverine Fencing Club","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Rice","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9966635_orig.jpg?crop=1071,1071,x3,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1742474720232","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9966635"},{"teacherId":9332917,"projectId":8473404,"letterContent":"The students love the new additions to the library!

The chair allows for planning and relaxing at the same time. I can see the relaxation on their face when seated in the chair.\r\n\r\nI see that the staff are more focused in the space and appreciate the environment without being disturbed.
