We know that active, engaged learning means the occasional scraped knee, small cut, or bump. It's simply part of childhood.\r\n\r\nUntil now, we've struggled to respond quickly when these minor injuries occur. Without adequate first aid supplies and an ice machine, we couldn't provide the immediate comfort our students deserve. A clean bandage prevents infection. An ice pack reduces swelling and pain. Both keep students comfortable and ready to continue learning.\r\n\r\nBut your gift means something even more powerful: it tells our students that we care about them. When children feel supported and safe, they're more confident, engaged, and focused on learning. Knowing that help is immediately available also reduces anxiety—students can concentrate on their day instead of worrying about what happens if they get hurt.\r\n\r\nThese supplies are modest in cost but tremendous in impact. They strengthen our daily operations, boost student morale, and reinforce our commitment to creating a safe, caring learning environment.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students' safety, comfort, and success.","photopaths":null},{"proposalId":10304972,"teacherName":"Mrs. Olson","teacherPossessiveName":"Mrs. Olson's","teacherPhoto":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3735108_272x272.jpg?width=34&height=34&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1470769372451","schoolName":"Garfield Elementary School","city":"Brainerd","state":"MN","title":"Let’s Restock the Fun!","impactNote":"Dear Disney,\n\nThank you so much for helping restock our classroom art supplies!
