When our project for slime-making supplies—saline solution, baking soda, and washable school glue—was fully funded through DonorsChoose, I knew we were about to embark on something special. However, seeing the actual impact in our classroom exceeded even my highest expectations. Your kindness brought pure magic, genuine scientific inquiry, and boundless joy into our classroom, creating a memory that my students will carry with them for a very long time.\r\n\r\nIn first grade, learning is most effective when it is active, tactile, and deeply engaging. Children at this age learn with their whole selves—their eyes, their hands, their voices, and their imaginations. While reading about science in textbooks or watching instructional videos can lay a foundation, nothing compares to the transformational power of a true hands-on experiment. Thanks to your support, every single student in my class had the opportunity to step into the shoes of a real scientist.\r\n\r\nIn public education, teachers often face resource constraints that force us to limit hands-on activities. It is because of compassionate and dedicated donors like you that we can bridge that gap and provide rich, high-quality, unforgettable educational experiences. Your investment in our classroom proves to my young learners that there are people in the community and beyond who truly care about their education, their happiness, and their future success.","fullyFundedDate":1777813560881,"projectUrl":"project/slime-me-up/10131049/","projectTitle":"Slime Me Up","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Harper","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9070449_orig.jpg?crop=720,720,x362,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1718721211293","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9070449"},{"teacherId":9070449,"projectId":10409691,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredible generosity and support for our classroom through DonorsChoose! Because of your kind contributions, our 1st-grade classroom was stocked with healthy breakfast bars, fruit bars, and nutritious cereal to start every morning on the right foot. Your willingness to invest in our students' well-being has made a profound, daily impact on their learning, health, and classroom experience.\r\n\r\nIn 1st grade, morning routines set the tone for everything that follows. When six- and seven-year-olds walk through the door, their energy levels, focus, and emotional readiness to learn depend heavily on whether they have had a proper breakfast. Many of our young learners come in early or face long commutes, and having a reliable, delicious, and healthy option waiting for them at their desks makes a world of difference.\r\n\r\nWhen the boxes arrived, the children were thrilled. Opening the packages together felt like a celebration, and explaining to them that caring supporters like you helped send these snacks made them feel truly special and valued. They were deeply touched to know that people outside our school care about their happiness and success.\r\n\r\nYour donation did far more than provide food; it provided comfort, motivation, and a foundational support system that allows our young learners to thrive every single day. On behalf of all of us in 1st grade, thank you once again for your warmth, generosity, and commitment to making a real difference in our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1785648136006,"projectUrl":"project/off-to-a-good-start/10409691/","projectTitle":"Off to a Good Start","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Harper","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9070449_orig.jpg?crop=720,720,x362,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1718721211293","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9070449"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_93244","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":544,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":96,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"21.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":66.1,"schoolId":93244,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about A.B.
