The bean bags, whiteboards, clipboards, sticky notes, and cleaning supplies have transformed both the look of the room and the way students engage with their learning.\r\n\r\nStudents use the bean bags for independent work, collaborative group work, and project-based learning. Having flexible seating allows them to choose where they work best, which has increased focus and meaningful participation. The whiteboards and clipboards are used during group discussions, problem-solving activities, and brainstorming sessions, giving students the freedom to share ideas and think creatively. Sticky notes help students organize thoughts, provide peer feedback, and reflect on their learning. The Clorox wipes help us maintain a clean, shared space, teaching students responsibility and respect for their environment.\r\n\r\nWhen students first walked into the classroom and saw the new materials, their reactions were immediate and heartfelt. One student said, \"This doesn't even feel like a classroom anymore — it feels comfortable.\" Another shared, \"I like coming in here because it feels calm and not stressful.\" A student who often struggles with focus commented, \"I work better when I can sit somewhere comfortable.\" These moments confirmed how important a welcoming learning environment is, especially for high school students balancing academic and personal pressures.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, students are now better prepared for upcoming lessons that emphasize collaboration, discussion, and hands-on learning. These resources support group projects, presentations, and reflective activities while helping build a strong classroom community. Most importantly, students feel a sense of ownership and pride in their classroom — a place where they feel at home and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThank you for making such a meaningful impact on my students and our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1769104275181,"projectUrl":"project/welcome-home/10036408/","projectTitle":"Welcome Home","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Savage","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10410126"},{"teacherId":10053641,"projectId":9406568,"letterContent":"Thanks to your donations—whether financial, in‑kind, or through the gift of time—we were able to create a warm, welcoming, and engaging environment where students could unwind, connect with peers, and experience the fun of classic and modern games alike. For many of our kids, this was more than just a game night; it was a moment of community, belonging, and pure excitement. Watching them dive into strategy games, cheer each other on, build alliances, share friendly competition, and celebrate every little victory was truly heartwarming.\r\nEvents like this matter deeply. In a world where young people are often balancing school, responsibilities at home, and the pressures of growing up, having a space dedicated purely to joy and connection is incredibly meaningful. Your generosity made that possible. You helped us create a safe space where kids could be themselves, socialize in positive ways, and strengthen relationships with peers and caring adults.\r\nThe impact was immediately visible—smiles that didn't fade for hours, a room buzzing with energy, kids teaching each other rules, others discovering new favorite games, and groups forming naturally around shared interests. Several students commented that it was the \"most fun they've had in a long time.\" Others asked when we'd be hosting the next one—proof that your donations didn't just make an event successful; they created excitement and anticipation for future community-building moments.","fullyFundedDate":1750256194839,"projectUrl":"project/board-game-night/9406568/","projectTitle":"Board Game Night","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Adair","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10053641"},{"teacherId":2564088,"projectId":9833853,"letterContent":"Thanks to our generous donors, new counseling resources have transformed how I support students.

Your contribution has already begun to make a meaningful difference for both our music technology and band students.\r\n\r\nFor our music technology students, the mixer has opened the door to hands‑on, real‑world audio engineering experience. They are now able to practice signal routing, sound shaping, and live‑mixing techniques using professional‑grade equipment. These skills can directly prepare them for college programs and careers in audio production. With the mixer at the center of our setup, students can experiment confidently, learn from mistakes in real time, and explore creative possibilities that simply weren't available to them before.\r\n\r\nOur band students are also benefiting in powerful ways. The mixer allows us to capture high‑quality recordings of rehearsals and performances, which helps students hear their progress and reflect on areas for improvement. Paired with our professional speakers and microphones, the mixer enables clear, balanced sound reinforcement so students can perform with confidence and pride, knowing that their music will be heard accurately and at its best.\r\n\r\nThis single piece of equipment has transformed our ability to record, mix, and play back audio at a professional standard. Whether we are producing student created sounds and tracks, recording ensembles, or supporting live performances, the Mackie ProFX mixer is now something that changes the fundamental experience of our program. It has elevated the quality of our work and expanded what our students believe they are capable of achieving.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has given our students tools that inspire creativity, confidence, and future opportunities.

Each student created a set of two mugs—one for themselves and one for a special person in their life. Using the new glazes and underglazes, students carefully painted imagery, patterns, and messages that reflected their relationships and personal stories. One powerful moment was watching students thoughtfully explain who their second mug was for and why, taking extra care with the surface design because they knew the piece would be gifted to someone they care about.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the wide variety of glazes and underglazes, their excitement was immediate. Many had never had access to so many color options or tools for detailed surface design. They were eager to experiment, mix colors, and test ideas, and the quality of their work noticeably improved. The materials made students feel like real artists, and that sense of pride and ownership showed in both their craftsmanship and their engagement.\r\n\r\nNext, students are building on this experience by planning more advanced ceramic forms that continue to emphasize intentional design and personal voice. They are applying what they learned about surface decoration, layering, and glazing techniques while reflecting on how art can connect people and tell stories. Thank you for giving my students the opportunity to create work that is both technically strong and deeply meaningful—your support helped make lasting connections through clay.\r\n\r\nWith gratitude,\r\nMiss Stotzer","fullyFundedDate":1699197652410,"projectUrl":"project/clay-and-community/7990525/","projectTitle":"Clay and Community","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stotzer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8170224_orig.jpg?crop=325,325,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1698948575772","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8170224"},{"teacherId":9428527,"projectId":10009409,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, my classroom has become a more organized, welcoming, and engaging space for learning.

The art supplies and cardstock have already been used for reading and writing projects, allowing students to creatively show their understanding of texts. The new keyboard and classroom tools have also made lessons smoother and more interactive.\r\n\r\nSeeing their excitement reminded me how much a well-equipped classroom matters. Many of my students don't have access to these materials at home, so having them available at school helps them feel supported and confident.

Instead of stopping instruction to search for paper, pencils, or supplies, students can stay engaged at their tables with everything they need within reach. We are using the paper, pens, pencils, markers, colored pencils, scissors, glue, tape, and staplers during writing workshops, close-reading activities, collaborative posters, and creative response projects tied to our literature and nonfiction units. The desktop caddies have helped keep materials organized and accessible, allowing students to take ownership of their work and transition smoothly between activities.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the materials, they were genuinely excited — especially seeing that everyone would have access to shared supplies rather than needing to borrow or wait. Several students commented on how much easier it felt to focus when they didn't have to get up repeatedly or feel embarrassed about not having materials of their own. The stress balls have also become an important part of our classroom environment, helping students regulate their focus during independent reading, writing, and assessments. These small supports have made a big difference in helping students feel calm, prepared, and confident.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, students are continuing to use these resources as we work through extended writing assignments, group research projects, and visual responses to literature. With consistent access to supplies, students can focus on developing ideas, collaborating thoughtfully, and engaging deeply with texts rather than worrying about materials. Your support has created a classroom environment that feels organized, welcoming, and equitable, and my students are incredibly grateful for the opportunities your generosity has made possible.","fullyFundedDate":1768508230322,"projectUrl":"project/tub-of-tools/10015065/","projectTitle":"Tub of Tools","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wielenga","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1656664"},{"teacherId":9366342,"projectId":9138616,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredible generosity.

I have already had students asking if they can \"check out\" and read the books. I am hopeful that every student finds a book they love at some point this year. I hope they find connections in the pages and see themselves in the words printed in the books. I hope reading these books will inspire them to write themselves and become the next generation of writers inspiring young kids like themselves.\r\n\r\nI truly am so thankful for your donations. It is more than money; it is an opportunity for young adults who otherwise might not have had exposure to these books and to the voices within.

It sends a powerful message to them that someone they've never met believes in their education—and that matters.\r\n\r\nThe whiteboards have especially transformed the way we do math in class. They allow for more collaboration, quick feedback, and hands-on learning that keeps students actively involved. Students feel more confident showing their thinking, trying new strategies, and making mistakes when they know it's easy to erase and try again. It's such a small shift that creates a huge impact, and it wouldn't have been possible without this donation.\r\n\r\nIn a school where many families face financial challenges, having classroom supplies like these available at no cost to students helps level the playing field. Every pencil, every whiteboard, represents a barrier removed and a chance for students to learn in a space where they are supported and equipped.
