Many of our middle and high schoolers come to school hungry or without access to nutritious food throughout the day. Having quick, healthy options available—such as granola bars, fruit snacks, and trail mix—helps them refuel so they can return to class ready to learn. Students often stop in before a test, during a tough moment, or simply when they haven't had enough to eat, and these snacks have become a quiet but powerful source of support.\r\n\r\nBeyond meeting physical needs, the availability of healthy snacks has opened the door for stronger connections with our students. A simple snack often becomes the bridge to a meaningful conversation about stress, academics, friendships, or future goals. Students feel cared for, seen, and supported when they know the counseling office is a safe place where their well-being comes first. This welcoming environment has helped increase student engagement and willingness to seek guidance when they need it most.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, these snacks have contributed to our students' overall success. With improved focus, better energy levels, and a greater sense of belonging, students are more prepared to thrive—academically, socially, and emotionally. Your donation didn't just provide food; it helped create a healthier, more supportive school community. Because of your generosity, our kids can walk into the counseling office knowing someone believes in them, and that belief makes all the difference.","fullyFundedDate":1761507857716,"projectUrl":"project/fuel-for-focus-healthy-snacks-for-stude/9834330/","projectTitle":"Fuel for Focus: Healthy Snacks for Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Huther","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8979073"},{"teacherId":7717601,"projectId":9698007,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my classroom! After thirty-six years of teaching math in our rural and diverse district, I continue to be inspired by how much a positive learning environment can impact student success. Your generous contribution is helping make that possible for my sixth and seventh grade students.\r\nMy students, like many middle schoolers, sometimes struggle to stay focused in a traditional classroom. Thanks to your support, our new flexible seating options, soothing lamps, fidgets, and improved organization are transforming our space into a calm, welcoming environment where students can truly thrive. The bean bag chairs are especially popular—students love having the choice to sit in a comfortable spot where they can focus and collaborate more effectively.\r\nThe addition of fidgets has also made a noticeable difference. For students who need a quiet way to channel their energy or manage anxiety, fidgets provide a small but powerful tool that helps them stay calm and engaged during lessons. Combined with our new lighting and flexible seating, these tools are helping all learners find what works best for them. Because of you, my students are more engaged, focused, and excited about learning.","fullyFundedDate":1761590874047,"projectUrl":"project/comfort-counts-supporting-middle-school/9698007/","projectTitle":"Comfort Counts: Supporting Middle School Math Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kolar","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7717601_orig.jpg?crop=1080,1080,x0,y244&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727294911389","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7717601"},{"teacherId":9568580,"projectId":9268330,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom!

They then used the tempera paint sticks to make Yayoi Kusama inspired pumpkins. Most recently we started a clay project making Day of the Dead skulls by pushing beads into the air dry model magic that they will paint later with the tempera cake paint. \r\nMy adaptive students continue to thrive in the art room, and much of that is thanks to your donation that helped contribute to getting supplies tho help every child in my classroom be an artist.","fullyFundedDate":1752165220340,"projectUrl":"project/every-child-is-an-artist-adaptive-suppl/9370484/","projectTitle":"Every Child is an Artist: Adaptive Supplies for Inclusive Creativity","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Vincent","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9990573_orig.jpg?crop=1013,1013,x153,y286&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1747318684313","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/gvincent"},{"teacherId":9278858,"projectId":8296829,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our classroom has become a more comfortable, healthy, and joyful environment for the students.

The students' faces lit up instantly—they were excited, calm, and eager to interact with him. This special connection has helped many students reduce stress and stay focused. He is a gentle motivator and emotional support when he is needed the most.\r\nLooking ahead, we plan to build on this positive momentum by creating more opportunities for mindfulness and emotional regulation in the classroom. Our next project will involve journaling and reflection exercises paired with the therapy dog, encouraging students to express their thoughts and feelings.

My students and I truly appreciate the positive impact these wonderful items have on creating a constructive and calm learning environment.\r\n\r\nIn my math classes, students engage in a variety of activities, including working at desks, collaborating in small groups, using manipulatives, and utilizing technology. In each of these scenarios, the addition of fluorescent light covers significantly reduces the harsh glare from overhead lighting, helping to prevent eye fatigue and discomfort—especially during extended periods of reading or screen time.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, providing students with headphones allows them to listen to relaxing music while they work or to watch math videos without disturbing their peers. This enhances focus and supports different learning styles. Lastly, the four-function calculators you provided are incredibly beneficial for my sixth and seventh graders, as many students do not have their own. Having access to these tools during homework, quizzes, and tests makes a significant difference in their learning experience.\r\n\r\nWe are deeply grateful for your thoughtfulness, generosity, and commitment to education.
