My students know that assessments brings out the prize box, for sure, but occasionally I will allow them to choose if they are doing other activities. It is sometimes shocking to people outside of the classroom how much students love simple things that are tangible proof of their work in school. If I had the money to supply these all of the time, I would. But, I don't. And that is why your help is so appreciated. I am honored that you chose my project to fund.

Your generosity has helped bring to life a student-led initiative aimed at addressing hunger and building a stronger sense of community within our school.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, we now have a dedicated space stocked with nourishing snacks like beef jerky, Chex Mix, and animal crackers—items that can make a big difference for classmates who might otherwise face the day hungry. Even more importantly, you've empowered students to take the lead in organizing, maintaining, and promoting this resource with empathy and purpose.\r\n\r\nThis project is teaching them so much more than logistics. They are learning about leadership, civic responsibility, and the power of kindness. They're creating informational posters to raise awareness, tracking which snacks are most needed, and inspiring others to contribute—turning compassion into real, lasting action.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, we're not just filling snack bins—we're nurturing a culture of care and equity that extends far beyond our classroom walls.","fullyFundedDate":1751906393915,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-for-hungry-students/9445622/","projectTitle":"Snacks for Hungry Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mendez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1905242_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1603248306307","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/monica-mendez"},{"teacherId":1905242,"projectId":9209280,"letterContent":"I am so grateful for your generosity in supporting our classroom wellness project.

Whether it's a quick jump rope session to re-energize or walking on the treadmill during independent work, my students are learning how to use movement as a powerful tool for self-care and academic success.\r\n\r\nMany of my students would never have access to equipment like this outside of school. Thanks to your support, they now have equitable opportunities to build lifelong healthy habits while strengthening both mind and body.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in my students and helping us create a space where every child can feel strong, balanced, and ready to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1746488420365,"projectUrl":"project/flex-focus-wellness-corner/9209280/","projectTitle":"“Flex & Focus” Wellness Corner","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mendez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1905242_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1603248306307","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/monica-mendez"},{"teacherId":1905242,"projectId":9082365,"letterContent":"I cannot express my gratitude for your generosity.

They asked every day if the new stuffed anatomy parts had arrived yet. They were eager to pass them around and take out the different parts and read the descriptions. We referenced them and used them in order to remind students of content that is not necessarily easily accessed by just using textbooks or online platforms. These also impacted students by showing them the neurotransmitters involved in mental health, their brains, and the endocrine system which controls the hormones affecting behavior as well!\r\n\r\nThe other mental health related items have been a delight as I use them as incentives for daily tasks. The small gifts, like fidget spinners or sensory items, can really make a student's day. They even offer reminders that teachers and other adults are there to support them outside of just normal classroom content. \r\n\r\nThese are not things that I am able to afford by myself. When I have bought them in the past, it has taken a pretty large financial toll on me I am so glad to know that the outside community is invested in our students and helping teachers.","fullyFundedDate":1728099524034,"projectUrl":"project/trauma-informed-teaching-a-brighter-fut/8852292/","projectTitle":"Trauma-Informed Teaching: A Brighter Future","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hovland","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9256954_orig.png?crop=173,173,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1737932755406","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9256954"},{"teacherId":9808605,"projectId":8890072,"letterContent":"Thank you for donating the vertical whiteboards for my classroom.

Each year, our students create booths for each kid to visit near Halloween and have them play a game.
