These resources allow my students to move beyond the textbook and engage with Spanish in a way that is both tactile and visual. With the copy paper, color pencils, markers, glue sticks, and scissors, students can create visual aids and anchor charts that aide in linguistic cues, like the Stem Changing Boot activity in our pictures. The stickers and stamps have become a favorite in the classroom. They provide immediate tangible feedback that boosts students confidence and encourage them to take risks when speaking and writing a new language. The Clorox wipes have helped mitigate the spread of viruses in our classes, and there for improved our attendance. The posters are used daily to practice the calendar and reinforce learning. While the notebooks help students keep all their notes in one place. \r\nBecause of your kindness, my students now have the high-quality tools they need to express their creativity while mastering a new language. Thank you for helping make our classroom more vibrant, organized, and an inspiring place to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1768066515379,"projectUrl":"project/high-school-spanish-class-must-haves/9989383/","projectTitle":"High School Spanish Class Must Haves","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gutierrez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8118488"},{"teacherId":9355627,"projectId":10035016,"letterContent":"I wish to thank you for your generosity and dedication! I would like to tell you about one student specifically, Sabra. Sabra is a very quiet shy girl, she doesn't socialize with others too much and she has had a great deal of unfortunate mishaps in her life, to say the least. Sabra has been coming to the crochet club from the start, she always works by herself and she is content doing so. Finally after months of attendance she brought along another student who she connected with. It was great seeing her in this social setting, then on another occasion she brought along her art tablet. OMG the talent of this young girl is amazing! The characters she has created from her own minds eye is outrageous. I suggested she create a book with her graphics and story lines, but she is not as self confident in her abilities yet. I brought up to her how amazing she is in creating crochet items without the use of any patterns, now I see how she is able to do it. She has also had many people come up to her and ask her to make items for them and she has but she's still not confident enough to sell her items. I suggested she at least tell them to cover the cost of items then start to incorporate her labor time. \r\nIt is just amazing to see the growth, social skills and now working on her confidence that she is awesome all came about because of a crochet club. I am just so proud of her growth and I have the donors to thank!","fullyFundedDate":1769300913734,"projectUrl":"project/crochet-creatures/10035016/","projectTitle":"Crochet Creatures","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Caristo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9355627"},{"teacherId":9426042,"projectId":10002669,"letterContent":"It is such a powerful moment when a student-athlete realizes they are capable of more than they imagined. Because of your generosity, the Bonanza Swim & Dive team isn't just practicing; they are transforming.\r\n\r\nOur 11 swimmers and one diver have integrated the new fins, pull buoys, and drag parachutes into their daily training, and the results are already showing up on the scoreboard. At our most recent meet, the \"math\" of the pool changed in our favor as we celebrated massive personal bests, with athletes lopping off 6.26, 9.38, and even 9.57 seconds from their times!\r\n\r\nThe Ripple Effect of Your Support\r\nThe impact of this equipment goes beyond just physical speed; it has shifted the entire energy of our program:\r\n\r\nTechnical Precision: The fins and buoys allow our swimmers to isolate their stroke technique. They can now \"feel\" the correct body position, making corrections that were previously impossible to explain with words alone.\r\n\r\nExplosive Power: The drag parachutes have become a team favorite for building strength off the blocks and turns, giving our athletes that extra \"pop\" they need in the final lap.\r\n\r\nThe Confidence Factor: There was a visible shift in the team's demeanor the moment this gear arrived. Seeing brand-new equipment poolside told our students that their hard work is recognized and supported by a community that wants them to succeed.\r\n\r\nWhat's Next for the Team\r\nWe are currently building on this momentum with high-intensity resistance drills and stroke-specific workshops. Our next goal is to use the parachutes for targeted sprint sets, pushing even more of our athletes toward those elusive personal records and qualifying times.\r\n\r\nThank you for providing the tools these students needed to dive deeper into their potential. You haven't just gifted us gear; you've gifted these athletes a new sense of what they can achieve.","fullyFundedDate":1768264006867,"projectUrl":"project/need-swim-equipment-for/10002669/","projectTitle":"Need Swim Equipment for Swim & Dive Team","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Gromek","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9426042_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y1008&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1704444039401","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9426042"},{"teacherId":9504484,"projectId":10005928,"letterContent":"Thank you again for your generous donation. I have been teaching for 30 years and I am well aware that when students do not have their basic needs met it affects their ability to concentrate and learn. While I cannot help my students with all of their needs, this project definitely has made a difference for those who are hungry.\r\n\r\nWhen I first started letting kids know that I had snacks, I was a little worried that they would eat through the supply in a few days. But the kids have been very appreciative and respectful about this. They ask for food if they are hungry, clean up after themselves, and always say thank you.\r\n\r\nThank you again from my students and myself. These simple little snacks have already help fill some empty tummies and put smiles on their faces.","fullyFundedDate":1768520135972,"projectUrl":"project/better-mental-health-and-wellness/10005928/","projectTitle":"Better Mental Health and Wellness","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cuellar","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9504484"},{"teacherId":9350502,"projectId":10015612,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous donation of XLR cables, our theater students now have access to professional-grade audio equipment—the same tools used in live performances, concerts, and theatrical productions outside of school. While many people use microphones and speakers at home, these cables are what make high-quality, reliable sound possible in a performance setting. Students are learning how audio signals travel, how to properly connect and manage equipment, and how sound design supports storytelling on stage. This hands-on experience turns abstract concepts into real-world skills.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for students is that everything works the way it should. Clear sound, fewer dropouts, and dependable connections mean they can focus on creativity instead of troubleshooting broken or unreliable equipment. Our technical theater students—especially those interested in sound design and live production—have been especially energized. They take pride in setting up shows correctly, running sound boards with confidence, and knowing they're using industry-standard gear. Your support didn't just buy cables—it gave students confidence, professionalism, and a deeper connection to the art of theater.","fullyFundedDate":1768498190861,"projectUrl":"project/xlr-cables-for-theater-students/10015612/","projectTitle":"XLR Cables for Theater Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Norton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9350502_orig.jpg?crop=419,419,x76,y9&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1698954143247","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9350502"},{"teacherId":5733418,"projectId":9994665,"letterContent":"For students to speak up and speak their truth, they need dynamic audio. Thanks to your incredible generosity, my video production students are able to capture that truth and tell the whole story.\r\n\r\n Before the microphones arrived, my students were often limited by the built-in mics on their cameras since we had only a few microphones for the entire program. They struggled with wind noise, echoing hallways, and muffled interviews. High quality audio is often the \"invisible\" element that separates an amateur project from a professional one. When the microphones arrived, the students were excited and surprised by the generosity of their community. One student said, \"Oh wow, we don't have to struggle anymore.\" \r\n\r\nStraight out of the box, they are making a positive impact. We have already used them for several interviews.

There is a specific kind of magic in opening a fresh pack, and the students were huddled together, comparing rare pulls and discussing how they could upgrade their decks. When they saw the new board game library—featuring heavy-hitters like Terraforming Mars, Blood Rage, Carcassonne, and Wingspan—they were floored. They felt an immediate sense of pride knowing that the community values their club enough to provide such high-quality, modern classics.\r\nNew Resources in Action\r\nThese games are doing more than just providing entertainment; they are serving as incredible tools for critical thinking and social bonding.\r\nA Specific Moment: This past week, we had our first \"Draft Night\" with the booster boxes. I watched a group of students meticulously evaluate their card choices, debating the mana curve and color synergies. At a nearby table, a group was completely absorbed in a session of Wingspan, fascinated by the bird facts while carefully managing their resources. It's rare to see a group of teenagers so focused and collaborative, and it's all thanks to having materials that truly challenge and excite them.","fullyFundedDate":1759244073010,"projectUrl":"project/leveling-up-learning-with-magic-and-terr/9747935/","projectTitle":"Leveling Up Learning with Magic and Terraforming Mars","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Carter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8124566_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1698957942532","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8124566"},{"teacherId":8143810,"projectId":9504758,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our program.

Having a snack break when they were not busy on stage gave them something to do without losing focus. The choices purchased were based on their preferences so I knew that the snacks would be a hit. The students did not disappoint.\r\n\r\nThe performances of our show were a huge success. We had large audiences every night.

My students with special needs were overjoyed and energized when the supplies arrived—many of them clapped, smiled, and immediately wanted to explore what we had been given. For them, having new health education tools was not just about learning—it was about feeling valued, included, and capable.\r\n\r\nWith the new materials, my students have been able to engage more actively in lessons about health, nutrition, movement, and personal well-being. These lessons are especially important because they give students knowledge and skills that build independence, confidence, and lifelong healthy habits. The supplies have created more hands-on opportunities for learning, making abstract health concepts real and accessible to students of all ability levels.\r\n\r\nThe excitement they felt has carried over into their daily participation. Students are more motivated to take part in class discussions, practice healthy routines, and share what they have learned with peers and family members. The impact extends beyond academics—it has strengthened their sense of belonging, joy in learning, and overall well-being.\r\n\r\nThanks to this support, my students feel more capable in their own bodies and more confident about making healthy choices.","fullyFundedDate":1746787175013,"projectUrl":"project/project-well-and-able-body/9099820/","projectTitle":"Project Well and Able Body","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sonja Simpkins","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8300697_orig.jpg?crop=2448,2448,x0,y693&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1738769251426","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8300697"},{"teacherId":8143810,"projectId":9114676,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donations to our show.
