We were also able to use some of the snack during our testing season. Students test for a whole month and work so hard. It was really nice to be able to give each of them snacks each day.

Students were excited to brainstorm, design and start creating their first pieces to hand out in our school.\r\nWith supplies from this project first and fifth graders created \"house\" lanyards that they provided to students who were going above and beyond in both academics and leadership roles across the building. Students who were apart of the kindness team wore school colors lanyards as a visual representation of what excellence looks like. \r\nAdditionally, this fall's belonging challenge had to revolve around a reading challenge. Students designed through circuit canvas, printed and assembled 80 book marks for teams who reached their team goal of 40 books this fall.\r\n With many supplies still available, students are working on designing and creating stickers and pins to spread kindness, belonging and leadership throughout our school this spring.","fullyFundedDate":1729232547086,"projectUrl":"project/kindness-swag/8854724/","projectTitle":"Kindness Swag","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Schlichemeyer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9130522_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1728013384645","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9130522"},{"teacherId":4265085,"projectId":7985036,"letterContent":"The snacks received were a blessing to so many.
