It is so exciting to be able to broaden my students' understanding of holidays like Cesar Chavez Day and Lunar New Year.

Thanks to your support, the learning environment has become healthier and more comfortable for my students. Clean air is essential to their well-being and focus, and your kindness ensures that they can thrive without worrying about air quality.\r\n\r\nDuring allergy season, my students have noticed a significant improvement in their comfort levels thanks to the air purifier. Many students who previously struggled with sneezing, itchy eyes, or congestion have reported feeling much better while in class. The cleaner air has made it easier for them to focus on their lessons and participate without being distracted by seasonal allergies. It's clear that this simple change has made a positive impact on their overall well-being.\r\n\r\nDuring the colder months, the air purifier has been equally valuable in helping to maintain a healthier classroom environment. With cold and flu season in full swing, having cleaner air had reduced the spread of germs and helped us avoid the usual wave of sickness that tends to circulate. It's given my students and me an extra layer of protection, allowing us to stay healthier and more engaged in class. The air purifier has truly become an essential tool for keeping our classroom environment as safe and comfortable as possible.\r\n\r\nYour donation makes a real difference in their daily lives, and I truly appreciate your commitment to improving their educational experience. On behalf of my students and myself, thank you for investing in their future and for making our classroom a better place to learn and grow.","fullyFundedDate":1730773789849,"projectUrl":"project/good-air-good-times/8484348/","projectTitle":"Good Air, Good Times!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jimenez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5521697_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720307651945","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-jimenez805"},{"teacherId":2337486,"projectId":8955062,"letterContent":"Our class is extremely appreciative of the kind and generous donations that you made for our clean air, outdoor equipment, and cart. \r\n\r\nOur equipment cart arrived a few weeks ago and students were intrigued by the contents of the package. They were excited to see the cart put together and to have new ribbons and balls to play with. Recess is a time to socialize, share and have fun with classmates. Students love to take the ribbons we receive and pretend play with them. We had ribbons in the past and students loved to take them out to recess. Over time, the ribbons fell apart. We were able to replace the ribbons with your donations! THANK YOU!\r\n\r\nStudents also inquired when our air purifier arrived. They were excited to learn that the purifier would help us breath clean air. The clean air makes working in a classroom with 20 students cleaner and more sanitized. During winter, often times colds and flus are spread easily among students and staff. Fortunately, having our clean and purified air helps us stop the spread of germs and sicknesses. \r\n\r\nAgain, I would like to say THANK YOU for your donations!

The $200 teachers pay teachers gift card I received allowed me to purchase a range of differentiated math materials, which has been invaluable in addressing the diverse needs of my students. Through interactive math games focused on multiplication and division, students have not only strengthened their skills but also developed a deeper enthusiasm for math. The hands-on nature of these games allows them to engage in problem-solving while building confidence in their abilities.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the language arts resources have been a game-changer for our literacy lessons. The materials provided have allowed me to create more dynamic and personalized learning experiences, catering to different reading levels and learning styles. Students now have access to a variety of activities that challenge them to think critically, improve their writing, and expand their vocabulary. Your support has truly made a difference in creating an environment where students are excited to learn and are gaining the skills they need to succeed.

Because of your kindness, my 4th grade students at Hapgood Elementary received meaningful writing materials that made a lasting impact on their learning.\r\n\r\nMy students already had a strong love for writing—many of them are natural-born authors with incredible stories to tell. The Just Write! student books helped guide them through various genres and the writing process, building both their skills and confidence. These resources aligned beautifully with our 4th grade writing standards and brought structure and excitement to every writing lesson.\r\n\r\nWith the Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards, I was able to purchase engaging, teacher-created resources in both English and Spanish. These bilingual materials were essential in supporting all of my students, especially those developing their writing skills in two languages. The easel also became a valuable part of our learning space, allowing me to model writing strategies clearly—even while teaching from home.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, my students grew tremendously as writers. They became more confident, more expressive, and more eager to write each day. Your donation did more than provide materials—it nurtured creativity, empowered young voices, and inspired future authors, journalists, bloggers, and more.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in my students and helping them soar.","fullyFundedDate":1610657984402,"projectUrl":"project/future-authors-in-the-making/5355713/","projectTitle":"Future Authors in the Making!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Provencio","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1559606_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1476749753508","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/maestracarrillo"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_39973","usesÐǿմ«Ã½":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":735,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":8,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":89,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"27.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":82.5,"schoolId":39973,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Arthur Hapgood Elementary School on @Ðǿմ«Ã½:","schoolName":"Arthur Hapgood Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/lompoc-unified-school-district/arthur-hapgood-elementary-school/39973"}
