With these materials, they have created a beautiful collection of paintings and mixed-media artworks, and we are excited to continue using them throughout the remainder of the school year. The students were absolutely delighted to explore all of the new supplies. Our kindergarteners and first graders especially fell in love with the paint sticks and dot markers, which became invaluable tools for learning essential art elements and principles. Older students deepened their understanding of acrylic painting techniques and proudly created realistic eye paintings inspired by their own eyes. I hope you enjoy seeing their fantastic creations in the photos provided, and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for such a thoughtful donation that sparked so much creativity, confidence, and happiness in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1759083808274,"projectUrl":"project/all-about-painting/9696756/","projectTitle":"All About Painting","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lockhart","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10247897"},{"teacherId":9911442,"projectId":9604865,"letterContent":"On behalf of our students, staff, and the entire school community, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation of volleyball nets. Your support means more than you may realize.\r\n\r\nBecause of your contribution, our students now have the opportunity to play, practice, and learn in a safe and engaging environment. The new nets have already brought incredible excitement to our physical education classes and after-school activities. Students who had never tried volleyball before are stepping onto the court with confidence, while those who already love the sport now have the proper equipment to grow their skills.\r\n\r\nBeyond the game itself, your gift is helping our kids build teamwork, communication, perseverance, and healthy habits—skills that will serve them far beyond the gym. Most importantly, the nets have created a sense of unity and joy that we see every time the students come together to play.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our kids and their development. Your generosity is making a meaningful and lasting difference, and we are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1758219342128,"projectUrl":"project/lets-get-physical/9604865/","projectTitle":"Let's Get Physical!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Patterson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9911442"},{"teacherId":9811298,"projectId":9049085,"letterContent":"On behalf of my students and myself, I want to sincerely thank you for your generous support in providing healthy snacks for our classroom. Your donation has already made a big difference in our daily routine.\r\n\r\nFor many of my students, access to nutritious snacks isn't always guaranteed outside of school. Thanks to your generosity, they now have the fuel they need to stay focused, energized, and engaged in their learning. I have already noticed how much happier and more attentive they are during lessons when their basic needs are met.\r\n\r\nYour kindness does more than provide food — it shows my students that their well-being matters and that there are people beyond our classroom who believe in them. That message of care and encouragement is something they will carry with them long after the snacks are gone.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in my students' success. We are truly grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1746710689441,"projectUrl":"project/heathy-snacks-part-2/9049085/","projectTitle":"Heathy Snacks part 2","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dawn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9811298"},{"teacherId":6904498,"projectId":8783305,"letterContent":"Having snacks during the school day helped to boost students' energy, focus, and participation, while also helping to regulate behavior by reducing hunger-related irritability.

While each of these items may seem simple, they have contributed to academic focus, independence, social-emotional development, and classroom community in unique ways. For example, the timers have become an essential part of building structure, supporting time management, and helping students develop self-regulation skills. Many of my students benefit from having a clear, visual or auditory cue for when a task will begin or end.","fullyFundedDate":1737223079686,"projectUrl":"project/not-your-everyday-supplies-20/9052077/","projectTitle":"Not Your Everyday Supplies 2.0","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Houston","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6904498_orig.jpg?crop=689,690,x0,y117&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1591124497181","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6904498"},{"teacherId":6904498,"projectId":9200722,"letterContent":"Having snacks during the school day helps to boost students' energy, focus, and participation, while also helping to regulate behavior by reducing hunger-related irritability.
