Thanks to your support, I am able to provide a special and memorable birthday celebration for each of my students through birthday bags filled with small, meaningful gifts and treats. These bags have truly made a difference in the lives of my students, and I cannot thank you enough for your generosity.\r\n\r\nTwo of my students have had birthdays so far this year, and the excitement and joy they experienced when they received their birthday bag was contagious. Students now look forward to receiving their own bags for weeks and months before their special day and talk about it with enthusiasm.\r\n\r\nThe simple gifts in the bag not only make them feel appreciated but also give them a moment to shine in front of their peers, building their confidence and self-worth. It's a simple gesture, but it has such a lasting impact on their happiness.\r\n\r\nThe smiles, laughter, and heartfelt thanks from my students are the best reward I could ever receive. You have made a real difference in their lives, and I am forever grateful for your support in helping me make their birthdays so special.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your kindness, and please know that your gift has created lasting memories for my students that will carry with them far beyond their time in my classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1755131781425,"projectUrl":"project/birthday-surprise-bags/9556600/","projectTitle":"Birthday Surprise Bags","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mahan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2918329_orig.jpg?crop=1603,1603,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1625947670988","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2918329"},{"teacherId":4380229,"projectId":9332693,"letterContent":"Thank you SO much for supporting our classroom project!\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, we now have a rolling whiteboard that makes small group reading time more engaging, computer mice that help my students use their devices with ease, and a pocket chart that keeps all our tech tools organized and ready to go.\r\n\r\nThese tools may seem simple, but in our classroom, they make a huge impact!

Your donation provided us with much-needed supplies that have already made a noticeable impact on our learning environment. With your help, we were able to purchase new over-ear headphones, USB computer mice, Kraft paper bags, and a classroom mailbox organizer — all of which are being put to good use every single day.\r\n\r\nIn a busy classroom like ours, where students are constantly learning through hands-on experiences, digital tools, and collaborative activities, materials experience a lot of wear and tear. Our old headphones and computer mice had certainly seen better days. Between daily use, student transitions, and occasional accidents, it's no surprise they take quite a beating. That's why we are especially thankful for the new Kensington Hi-Fi over-ear headphones and USB wired mice — they arrived just in time.\r\n\r\nThe headphones have been a huge hit with the students. They're not only comfortable and durable, but they also provide clear sound quality that makes all the difference during independent work and online learning programs. Many of our students use adaptive reading and math software, and now they can do so without distractions or interruptions from faulty equipment. We've already seen students become more focused, and the classroom environment is quieter and more productive because of it.\r\n\r\nLikewise, the new USB mice have been a game-changer. For many of our students, using a laptop touchpad can be tricky — especially for younger learners or those with fine motor challenges. These new mice have made it much easier for students to complete digital assignments, take assessments, and navigate educational games and platforms. With 10 new mice added to our technology station, students no longer have to wait for working equipment or struggle with unresponsive devices. It's a small change that has had a big impact.\r\n\r\nThe pack of 100 white Kraft paper bags has also proven to be incredibly useful. Most recently, we used them to help students organize and take home their end-of-year supplies and personal items. After a busy and productive school year, it was so helpful to have sturdy, uniform bags on hand to send everything home in a neat and organized way. It made the process much smoother for both students and teachers and helped give closure to the school year in a thoughtful, respectful way.\r\n\r\nLastly, the 30-slot classroom mailbox organizer has helped transform our classroom routines. It's now so much easier for students to collect handouts, store returned work, and keep track of important papers. Before we had the mailbox, organizing daily take-home items was chaotic and time-consuming. Now, students have a designated spot that promotes independence and responsibility — and we're saving valuable time during transitions.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, our classroom is running more smoothly, our tools are more reliable, and our students are better equipped to focus on what matters most: learning. Your support not only provided tangible resources but also reminded us that there are people who believe in our work and care about the success of every student. It means more than you know.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making a lasting difference.","fullyFundedDate":1746785472526,"projectUrl":"project/gearing-up-for-a-great-year/9267326/","projectTitle":"Gearing Up for a Great Year!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Loader","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8685199"},{"teacherId":8685199,"projectId":8999902,"letterContent":"I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation toward the bookshelf in our classroom. Your support has made a tremendous difference in how my students interact with and access the materials they need for learning.\r\n\r\nBefore we had the bookshelf, it was often a challenge for my students to quickly get the reading materials they wanted or needed. As a teacher, I would have to distribute the books and supplies to each student, which not only consumed valuable instructional time but also prevented my students from developing essential skills like independence and responsibility.\r\n\r\nNow, with the bookshelf, my students have the freedom to choose their materials. They can independently grab books, reading tools, and other resources they need, which has greatly empowered them in their learning journey. They no longer need to wait for me to give them what they need — they can take the initiative to find and use the resources at their own pace. This has fostered a sense of ownership over their learning, helping them become more confident, self-reliant, and motivated readers.\r\n\r\nThe accessibility of the bookshelf has not only allowed my students to take charge of their learning but also provided them with a greater sense of autonomy and pride. It has been incredible to witness them developing skills that will serve them well both in and outside the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1734099429078,"projectUrl":"project/bookshelf-for-reading-center-supplies/8999902/","projectTitle":"Bookshelf for Reading Center Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Loader","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8685199"},{"teacherId":2918329,"projectId":8967749,"letterContent":"I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation to my project which allowed me to purchase digital writing materials for my second-grade classroom.
