The weighted adaptive utensils and the variety of healthy snacks have not only met a physical need but have also fostered a greater sense of independence and confidence among our students. Thank you for giving us the tools to make everyday tasks easier and our lessons richer!\r\nThe resources are now integrated into our daily routine, transforming both mealtime and nutrition lessons. The weighted and ergonomic adaptive utensils are used every day during our lunch and snack periods. For many students, this simple change has reduced the anxiety and frustration associated with eating. The stability the weighted base provides has allowed students with motor planning challenges or mild tremors to successfully scoop food without needing adult assistance.","fullyFundedDate":1758221283356,"projectUrl":"project/beyond-the-fork-adaptive-tools-and-heal/9619642/","projectTitle":"Beyond the Fork: Adaptive Tools and Healthy Fuel for Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Winters","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9465423"},{"teacherId":9844981,"projectId":8959420,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting \"Project Clean Start\" on Donors Choose! You've helped us put together an awesome collection of dental hygiene supplies, and I can't tell you how much of a difference it's already making for our students. We've got our hygiene closet stocked with toothpaste, floss, toothbrushes, and all the basics our kids need, and they know they can grab what they need whenever things get tight at home.\r\n\r\nYour support has been absolutely incredible, especially when we've had to help students who suddenly lost their housing. We've been able to put together emergency care packages for kids who found themselves with nowhere to go overnight, and honestly, we've had way too many of these situations recently. Having these supplies ready to go has been a lifesaver – we can respond right away when these crisis moments happen, and that means everything to these kids.\r\n\r\nI'm amazed at how quickly this little hygiene pantry has become such an important part of our school community. It's not just about having toothpaste and floss available – it's about making sure our students have one less thing to worry about when life gets tough. Your generosity has given these kids something so basic but so important: the ability to take care of themselves and feel confident doing it. Thank you for believing in our students and for helping us be there for them when they need it most.","fullyFundedDate":1743027011347,"projectUrl":"project/project-clean-start/8959420/","projectTitle":"Project \"Clean Start\"","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Brock","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9844981_orig.jpg?crop=1538,1538,x0,y256&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1733331773743","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9844981"},{"teacherId":9465423,"projectId":9514153,"letterContent":"We are incredibly grateful for your contribution, which has fully funded our \"Real-World Readiness\" project. The combination of vocational tools and dedicated life skills resources has fundamentally changed how our students approach concepts like responsibility, employment, and financial independence. Thank you for investing in their future success!\r\nThese resources have become the foundation of our Classroom Economy and Job Skills Program. The mock time clock system is the centerpiece, used by students every day as they transition into their assigned roles (e.g., materials manager, office messenger, technology assistant). This system adds gravity and realism to their responsibilities, teaching them accountability, promptness, and professional procedures.\r\nThe mock time clock system was an instant hit—it looks and feels like a real office tool, giving their classroom jobs a professional status. They love the physical act of inserting their time card and hearing the satisfying clunk when they punch in or out. It has turned a simple transition into an exciting ritual.","fullyFundedDate":1755521888630,"projectUrl":"project/from-classroom-to-career-building-life/9514153/","projectTitle":"From Classroom to Career: Building Life Skills That Matter","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Winters","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9465423"},{"teacherId":4590793,"projectId":6684368,"letterContent":"You are one of a kind. You saw a need, and you stepped up! Thank you for your donation. This resource helped so many students. I am glad to know people like you exist. On behalf of our entire team and, most importantly, the students whose lives you have touched, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous purchase of our digital resource created specifically to support learners with disabilities.\r\n\r\nYour contribution is far more than a financial transaction—it is a meaningful act of kindness, inclusion, and advocacy. With your support, we are able to continue creating high-quality, accessible educational tools that are designed to empower students of all abilities. These resources are thoughtfully developed to bridge learning gaps, enhance engagement, and foster confidence among students who may otherwise face significant educational barriers.\r\n\r\nEach time someone like you invests in these tools, the impact ripples far beyond a single classroom. It supports teachers in delivering personalized and adaptive instruction, helps parents find new ways to support their children at home, and—most importantly—gives students with disabilities access to learning environments that recognize their strengths and honor their unique learning needs. These students are often overlooked in traditional educational systems, and your support sends a clear message: They matter. Their education matters.\r\n\r\nYour generosity helps us ensure that our digital resources meet the highest standards of accessibility, including compatibility with screen readers, text-to-speech options, adjustable font sizes, visual contrast settings, and customizable learning paths. These features are not simply \"extras\"—they are essentials that promote autonomy and dignity in learning for every student who uses them.\r\n\r\nMoreover, thanks to donors like you, we are able to provide these resources at little to no cost to underfunded schools and community programs that might not otherwise have access. Your purchase is helping to close the opportunity gap and create a more equitable educational landscape for learners with disabilities across the country—and even beyond.\r\n\r\nThe stories we hear from educators and families continue to inspire us. We hear about students who have spoken their first words through assisted communication tools, about learners who have developed a newfound joy for reading and math through interactive and adaptive materials, and about classrooms where every student, regardless of their needs, is finally being seen and supported.\r\n\r\nThese moments are only possible because of the compassionate individuals like you who choose to make a difference. Your support does not go unnoticed. It is deeply felt by the teachers who now have better tools, by the parents who feel more empowered to help their children succeed, and most importantly, by the students who are learning, thriving, and achieving goals that once seemed out of reach.\r\n\r\nWe are honored to have you as part of our mission. Thank you for believing in the potential of every student and for being a champion of inclusive education. We look forward to keeping you updated on the continued impact of your support and the progress we're making—together.","fullyFundedDate":1665594182924,"projectUrl":"project/digital-resource-to-support-learning-dif/6684368/","projectTitle":"Digital Resource to Support Learning Differences!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Greenstreet","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4590793_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1705255288201","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-greenstreet"},{"teacherId":9465423,"projectId":8903611,"letterContent":"I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generosity in funding our DonorsChoose project. Thanks to your kindness, my students now have access to essential hygiene supplies, including toothbrushes, floss, deodorant, nail files, and toothbrush holders. Your support has made a profound difference in their lives, and I want to take a moment to share just how much your contributions mean to us.\r\n\r\nMy students, ranging in age from 17 to 21, have a variety of disabilities, and many of them face challenges in developing and maintaining good hygiene habits. These skills are not only crucial for their health and well-being but also for building their confidence as they prepare for life beyond the classroom. Having access to personal care items gives them the opportunity to practice self-care in a structured and supportive environment, reinforcing routines that will serve them for years to come.\r\n\r\nBefore receiving these supplies, many of my students did not have the resources they needed to establish consistent hygiene practices. Some students lacked basic items at home, while others were unsure how to use them properly. With the materials you provided, we have been able to create engaging lessons on personal hygiene, making it a regular part of our classroom routine. By working together and supporting one another, my students are gaining the skills and confidence they need to take care of themselves independently.\r\n\r\nOne of the most rewarding aspects of this project has been witnessing the pride my students take in their personal care. Simple actions—such as remembering to brush their teeth after lunch or using deodorant before heading to work-study programs—are making a noticeable difference in their self-esteem. These small but significant changes not only improve their health but also contribute to positive social interactions, helping them feel more comfortable and confident in their daily lives.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has provided more than just hygiene products; it has given my students the dignity and independence that come with being able to care for themselves. It has shown them that there are people beyond our classroom walls who believe in their potential and want to support their growth. That kind of encouragement is priceless, and it reinforces the idea that they are valued members of our community.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of my students and myself, thank you for your kindness and generosity. Your willingness to invest in their well-being has made a lasting impact, and we are incredibly grateful. Because of you, my students are learning valuable life skills that will benefit them far beyond the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1730905723077,"projectUrl":"project/personal-hygiene-champions/8903611/","projectTitle":"Personal Hygiene Champions!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Winters","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9465423"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_35494","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":979,"numTeachers":62,"percentFrplEligible":59,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":71,"percentIndigenous":5,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"8 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"15.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":74.5,"schoolId":35494,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Port Angeles High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Port Angeles High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/port-angeles-school-district-121/port-angeles-senior-high-school/35494"}
