Using the new supplies, students reflected deeply on who they are — their cultures, their families, their experiences, and the many layers that make them uniquely themselves. They created portraits that weren't just about what they look like, but about how they see the world and how the world sees them. Watching them make those connections through art was something truly special.\r\n\r\nThe impact of your contribution goes far beyond the materials themselves. You gave my students the message that their stories and identities are worth celebrating — and worth investing in. We are so grateful, and we can't wait to keep creating.","fullyFundedDate":1770613442575,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-essentials-for-focused-suppor/10083911/","projectTitle":"Classroom Essentials for Focused, Supported Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dugas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8932703"},{"teacherId":10383663,"projectId":10127466,"letterContent":"My students have greatly appreciated the map and globe.

It has allowed me to teach about how map projections are always imperfect, and fascinated even my least engaged students. Informal games have developed where students challenge each other to find countries on the globe, and finding them provokes them to ask me questions about their histories and geography.\r\nThank you so much for providing this resource.","fullyFundedDate":1772503621259,"projectUrl":"project/global-perspective/10127466/","projectTitle":"Global Perspective","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Reid","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10383663"},{"teacherId":6927148,"projectId":10078516,"letterContent":"On behalf of our freshman class, thank you so much for your generous donation of snacks for our students.
