I can not begin to describe what an amazing impact this had had on my students and my classes as a whole. These uniforms have allowed me to place students in color coded groups, as well as teams. This is very impactful with the lower level grades K-2 because its an opportunity for me to teach them their primary colors. It also awesome for the upper elementary grade levels because I can have scrimmages and they also like the fact that the tank tops are numbered. Overall this has been a positive addition to our school. Thank You kindly to all who donated.","fullyFundedDate":1718738291965,"projectUrl":"project/game-on-uniforms/8455762/","projectTitle":"Game On Uniforms!!","teacherDisplayName":"Coach Justin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9495177_orig.jpg?crop=880,880,x655,y266&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1719329530624","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9495177"},{"teacherId":7958053,"projectId":9001621,"letterContent":"Thank you all so very much for donating to our project so that we can provide little discrete bags for our 4th and 5th grade girls as they learn about Growth & Development and slowly go through new changes as they get older. Sometimes first starting out as young girls get older it can be a bit embarrassing to carry around feminine care products or have the chance of it falling out of a backpack and a male student seeing it. Giving them a discrete way to carry and conceal a feminine care product really means the world to them.","fullyFundedDate":1741230738493,"projectUrl":"project/health-supplies-for-healthy-lives/9001621/","projectTitle":"Health Supplies for Healthy Lives","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nurse Kenzy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7958053_orig.jpg?crop=720,720,x0,y14&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1632243350028","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7958053"},{"teacherId":7958053,"projectId":9103798,"letterContent":"Thank you all so very much for donating to fund our project for snacks, easy breakfast items and some Gatorades for our kiddos!

That way we can make sure they at least have eaten something. Same thing with our small snacks and mac and cheese cups. Sometimes lunch just isn't enough for some growing kiddos and sometimes our kiddos aren't the biggest fans of certain food items served.
