As the weather gets colder during the school year, students start needing warmer clothing but may lack the financial resources to buy the necessary items. Our students attend school daily in designated uniform attire. However, many families have limited means, and purchasing extra uniform items to keep their kids warm can be an additional challenge. Therefore, our school needs to have some items available for those in need.\r\n\r\nWe are able to give warm school uniform sweaters to students in need because of you. Warmth and comfort should be available to all children, especially in the winter. When this need is satisfied, they can concentrate on their education!","fullyFundedDate":1767043211734,"projectUrl":"project/warm-sweaters-for-students/9687743/","projectTitle":"Warm Sweaters for Students","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Amber Hunter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10031757_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y208&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757512421753","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ahunter513"},{"teacherId":10031757,"projectId":9681726,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our students at Ethel Taylor Junior High now have direct access to fidget tools and other sensory items that are often used to support students as they learn to self-regulate their emotions, calm their minds, and focus on classroom instruction.

The pure joy that flashes across a student's face when they see a special tool they connect with and that is available for their use is absolutely priceless!

The Hugimals have been a huge hit, especially for students who don't have a stuffed animal of their own for nap time. Our special needs students have found extra comfort in these weighted friends, and it's heartwarming to see how they instinctively reach for them when they need a calming moment. While no one has a favorite between the sloth and koala, they're both loved equally and often passed around with big smiles.\r\n\r\nThe Clorox wipes have been a game changer. With all the hands-on activities we do and the busy active days that preschoolers thrive on, these wipes help us keep everything clean and safe without missing a beat. The snacks and BodyArmor drinks have been perfect for those high-energy days when our little learners need a boost to stay focused and happy. Whether it's after outdoor play or during a long learning stretch, these treats help us recharge and keep the momentum going.\r\n\r\nWe're currently working on a sensory-based learning unit and these resources have made a noticeable difference in how engaged and supported our students feel. From the laminated visuals that help with routines to the dry erase markers that make group learning more interactive, every item you helped provide has found a meaningful place in our classroom.
