Customized Totes for Robotics Competitions
Funded Mar 25, 2025Thank you for contributing to my project. The Mechanical Mustangs Robotics team will make excellent use of these tote bags. They will help us to identify our supplies, be neat and orderly cheering our drivers on from the stands, and look professional. I'm looking forward to bringing them to our next competition!”

This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community and one other donor.Positive Mental Health Reinforcers
Funded Jan 15, 2025Thank you for your help with my project to improve student mental health. The fidgit toys I was able to purchase have helped my students remain focused and lowered their stress. They especially love the slugs. They are very fun and relaxing to play with. Students also love the sand timer. I keep it on my desk and they will come spin it around throughout the day to keep the sand in motion. Bubblers are also popular. It has been nice to add some variety to the ones I already had gotten in the fall. My students very much appreciate all of their fidgit toys.”

Positive Mental Health Reinforcers
Funded Sep 1, 2024Thank you for taking the time to donate to my project, Positive Mental Health Reinforcers.
I have been able to enhance my classroom with fidget toys, games for mental health breaks, and tools to help my students stay organized.
Students that have been provided with binders have been very grateful. I am so excited to see students taking advantage of the materials I provided them. Even though it's still early, I haven't experienced any students losing their class materials yet, which is a wonderful thing. Providing students with a laminated Periodic Table will be do much for my students when we get a little further into the school year. My experience has been that they are so appreciated, and because I only need to provide each student with one, I am able to provide them a color copy. It makes it easier for students to see the sections of the table and use all of the information it provides. Without this project, my students would not be receiving them this year.
Fidget toys have had a positive impact on my classroom. Students were excited to see them, and I have witnessed some who were panicking during an assessment use them to calm themselves down. It's wonderful to see my students learn to self soothe and lower their general anxiety levels. Having toys in the room has assisted with classroom management, keeping students out of trouble and helping others complete their work undisturbed.
Thank you again for helping to fund my project for Positive Mental Health Reinforcers. My students and I greatly appreciate it.”
