Teacher Appreciation Week (May 5–9, 2025) is the perfect time to show our local educators just how much they mean to us. One of the most impactful ways to say “thank you” is by helping them get the classroom resources they need — and DonorsChoose makes that easy.
At Macaroni KID Modesto, we love shining a spotlight on the hardworking teachers in our community. This month, we’re featuring five amazing Modesto-area educators with active DonorsChoose projects. Whether they’re seeking books to inspire a love of reading, flexible seating to keep students focused, or science kits to spark curiosity, each project brings something special to local classrooms.
