Your gifts allowed us to purchase essential basic orchestra materials for our middle school program, including string instruments, bows, strings, rosin, music stands, and sheet music.\r\nBefore the campaign, limited supplies meant students shared instruments, which slowed progress and reduced participation. Now, more students are joining orchestra, rehearsals sound fuller, and beginners are advancing faster.\r\nThe materials have boosted engagement, focus, and teamwork. Students are building confidence, discipline, and friendships through music. Many show better concentration that carries over to other classes.\r\nThese donations are creating lasting impact—fostering creativity, resilience, and joy in our young musicians. We plan a special \"Thank You\" concert soon so you can see the difference.\r\nFrom all our students and me, thank you!","fullyFundedDate":1768078586555,"projectUrl":"project/2026-refresh/9990101/","projectTitle":"2026 Refresh","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Dominguez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9580350_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754379731058","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9580350"},{"teacherId":8112732,"projectId":10005451,"letterContent":"Your generous support in providing additional art supplies has truly transformed my middle school classroom.

Becker students who struggle with abstract diagrams... like one who told me the moon was \"just a smooth circle\"... suddenly understand when they can trace printed impact craters with their fingers or twist a DNA double helix in their hands. The most exciting part isn't just holding the finished object; it's discovering that genetics isn't \"just a drawing in a packet,\" that the Liberty Bell crack runs higher than any photo shows, and that a bat wing shares the same finger bones we do. One student put it best: \"It's like we're all built from the same LEGO set.\" A sincere thanks from the Becker Bighorns for opening this path and new educational avenue.","fullyFundedDate":1768695822956,"projectUrl":"project/turning-concepts-into-objects-with-3d-pr/10020758/","projectTitle":"Turning Concepts into Objects with 3D Printing","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Romo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10404341_orig.jpg?crop=732,732,x139,y19&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1768448203498","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10404341"},{"teacherId":9350388,"projectId":9991292,"letterContent":"My students have been actively using the new resources during both group work and independent practice. One standout moment was during a collaborative problem-solving activity, where students used the whiteboards to show their thinking, explain their strategies, and work through mistakes together in real time. This increased engagement and helped build confidence, as students felt more comfortable sharing and revising their work.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the materials, they were excited and eager to use them. The whiteboards quickly became a favorite because they made learning more interactive and less intimidating. Additionally, my mobile desk allows me to move around the classroom more easily, so I can provide immediate support and feedback during lessons.

My project was centered around supporting student mental health and wellbeing. With this project I have been able to provide each classroom with kits that students can use when dealing with overwhelming emotions. Students can take a moment to utilize stress balls, and fidget toys so that they can feel more regulated and ready to learn. Students in my office have also reported how much they love the weighted stuffed animal that I was able to get from this project. They don't always realize why I am handing them a stuffed animal until they hold it and realize how calming it can be. We are also exicted to be able to incoroporte the use of the rhythm sticks next year so that students can continue to practice regulation strategies.","fullyFundedDate":1768413514237,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-middle-school-mental-health-a/9994852/","projectTitle":"Supporting Middle School Mental Health and Wellbeing","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Teves","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7617553_orig.jpg?crop=430,430,x0,y37&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1635348213906","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7617553"},{"teacherId":10409667,"projectId":10035024,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support. Your donation of office supplies, Lysol wipes, candy, fidgets, and classroom decor has already made a meaningful difference in our daily learning environment. The Lysol wipes help me keep desks clean and sanitized, which plays an important role in keeping my students healthy and ready to learn each day. The candy and fidgets have been incredibly effective motivators. My students are excited to earn rewards, and the fidgets provide immediate support for focus and engagement during lessons.\r\n\r\nThe classroom decor has transformed our space into a warm, inviting place where students feel comfortable and inspired. The posters add color, reinforce positive messages, and serve as helpful scaffolding tools that students can refer to throughout the day.

Your generosity has turned our classroom into a cozy \"reading cafe\" where learning a new language feels much less intimidating. My ESL students are using Junior Scholastic to keep up with world news in English, while my French students are using Allons-Y to explore the daily lives of teens in Francophone cultures. Instead of boring word lists, these magazines use vibrant photos and real-world stories that help my students pick up everyday vocabulary and \"read between the lines\" without feeling overwhelmed.\r\n\r\nThe impact on their confidence has been incredible. One of my quietest students, who used to get stressed by long assignments, completely relaxed once they had a fun magazine and a snack in hand. Seeing them excitedly explain an infographic to a neighbor in their new language was a huge win. By providing these engaging materials and treats, you've made reading the most anticipated part of our day and given my students the comfort they need to truly succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1771364534056,"projectUrl":"project/reading-refreshments-and-real-world-la/10049035/","projectTitle":"Reading, Refreshments, and Real-World Language","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Imbeau","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10411201_orig.png?crop=272,272,x234,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1768598737945","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10411201"},{"teacherId":9932544,"projectId":9601612,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous donation of new books to our middle school library. Your contribution has made a difference for our students. When we added the new titles to our collection, students were excited to find books from their favorite authors. There's a smile that I see when students find out that they are the first person to check out a new book, and your donation has given that experience to many of our readers.\r\n\r\nYour support also strengthens our library's resources and directly supports our curriculum. The updated biographies are ready to be used for student research projects, providing our students with new and diverse titles.

Being able to bring an iPad outside onto the field, playground, or blacktop has completely changed how smoothly our class runs.\r\n\r\nOne of the most important ways it helps is with attendance. In PE, students often meet in different locations depending on the activity or weather. In the past, I had to take paper attendance, keep track of it while managing equipment and students, and then later return to my classroom to enter it into the system. That meant extra time, extra steps, and more room for error.\r\n\r\nNow, with the iPad, I can take attendance instantly from wherever we are — whether we're on the soccer field, at the track, or outside for fitness stations. Attendance is recorded in real time and automatically synced to our school system. This improves accuracy, saves instructional time, and ensures student safety because I can quickly verify who is present without leaving the activity area. If there's ever a question about a student's whereabouts, I have immediate access to accurate information.","fullyFundedDate":1768932708643,"projectUrl":"project/being-connected-outside/10011040/","projectTitle":"Being Connected Outside","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Reid","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8139899"},{"teacherId":7759331,"projectId":10015801,"letterContent":"I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to each and every donor who so generously contributed to my classroom. Your support has had a meaningful and immediate impact on my students and our learning environment, and I am truly grateful for your belief in the importance of education. Because of your kindness, my classroom has received new scientific calculators, several items to make the room more welcoming and inviting, and high-powered pencil sharpeners that students use every single day.\r\n\r\nThe new scientific calculators have been one of the most exciting additions for students. Many of my students had previously shared calculators, relied on outdated devices, or struggled to complete assignments efficiently without consistent access to the proper tools. Now, every student can fully participate in lessons that involve problem-solving, data analysis, and higher-level math concepts. Having reliable calculators allows students to focus on understanding mathematical reasoning instead of worrying about whether they have the tools they need. This has increased student confidence, reduced frustration, and encouraged more active participation during lessons. Students feel empowered when they can independently check their work and explore math concepts with confidence, and that sense of independence has made a noticeable difference in classroom engagement.\r\n\r\nThe items that helped make the classroom more inviting have also played an important role in student happiness and learning. A welcoming environment signals to students that they are valued and that the classroom is a safe, positive place to learn. Since these changes were made, students have commented on how much they enjoy being in the room and how it feels more comfortable and encouraging. When students feel relaxed and supported, they are more willing to take academic risks, ask questions, and collaborate with peers. These seemingly small improvements have helped create a classroom culture where students feel proud of their space and motivated to do their best work.\r\n\r\nEven the high-powered pencil sharpeners—something that might seem simple—have had a surprisingly big impact. Before, dull pencils often caused interruptions, wasted time, and frustration. Now, students can quickly sharpen their pencils and get right back to learning. This small efficiency keeps lessons moving smoothly and helps students stay focused. Many students have expressed excitement about using the sharpeners, and it has become one less barrier between them and their work.\r\n\r\nOverall, your generosity has directly supported math learning and student success. These materials have improved daily instruction, boosted student morale, and created a classroom environment where students feel prepared, supported, and excited to learn. Thank you for investing in my students and in the future of education. Your contributions truly make a difference, and my students and I are deeply appreciative of your support.","fullyFundedDate":1768496208046,"projectUrl":"project/help-nevada-students-thrive-in-math/10015801/","projectTitle":"Help Nevada Students Thrive in Math","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lemay","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7759331_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1642223430284","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7759331"},{"teacherId":9580350,"projectId":9538786,"letterContent":"Our orchestra students, ranging from beginners to advanced players across violins, violas, cellos, and basses, often come from families where purchasing high-quality accessories is a challenge.
