That's the exact day Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico. Hurricane Maria was a devastating category 5 hurricane that hit the northeastern Caribbean but hit Puerto Rico the hardest. It took the lives of 2,975 people in Puerto Rico specifically. As climate change gets worse, so do hurricanes. Climate change is the long-term effect of temperature. It causes temperatures to become hotter and it causes extreme weather. A direct effect of Climate change is extreme hurricanes like Hurricane Maria. Climate change is ruining people's lives whether you're blind to it or not. Although this hurricane happened 7 years ago, it continues to negatively affect Puerto Ricans. It has created destructive damage to the Puerto Rican people. Hurricane Maria still affects Puerto Ricans today by reducing basic living essentials, destroying the economy, and ruining peoples' physical health.\" - Thank you, Estephany","fullyFundedDate":1764685110115,"projectUrl":"project/climate-champions/9900946/","projectTitle":"Climate Champions","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gwendolyn Nixon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4139300_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1671918769096","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4139300"},{"teacherId":4139300,"projectId":9501691,"letterContent":"Thank you for the backpacks, water, and snacks.

Your support sends a clear message to our students: their education, their future, and their ability to care for the planet truly matter.\r\n\r\nThe materials you funded bring climate resilience to life in ways textbooks alone never could. With the Wildcraft! Herbal Adventure Game, students are learning about medicinal plants through collaboration, problem-solving, and play.

Students are examining prepared insect and animal slides with excitement and precision, using LED and UV light to observe structures they have only seen in diagrams before. The included smartphone digiscoping clips allow students to document their observations, connect science with technology, and share their findings—building both scientific and digital literacy.\r\n\r\nYour donation of inspiring books has expanded our students' understanding of climate solutions. Plants That Cure introduces them to the role plants play in medicine and innovation, while Biomimicry: Inventions Inspired by Nature shows how observing nature can lead to smarter, more sustainable designs. The Forest in the Sea broadens perspectives even further, helping students see how seaweed and ocean ecosystems can play a vital role in addressing global environmental challenges. These texts encourage students to think critically, creatively, and optimistically about the future.\r\n\r\nThe FoxFarm Grow Big liquid fertilizer supports our hands-on growing projects, allowing students to apply what they learn directly to nurturing plants. Through this work, students see firsthand how healthy soil, careful resource management, and scientific knowledge contribute to resilient ecosystems.\r\n\r\nBecause of you and Ðǿմ«Ã½, our students are not just learning about climate resilience—they are practicing it. You have empowered them to observe closely, ask questions, collaborate, and imagine solutions.
