Our students were extremely excited to use the new materials and have been incredibly responsible with the boards, chess pieces, and timers. Almost every day they asked to play, and the upper graders even made sure I kept their sets separate from the lower graders so no pieces would get lost!\r\n\r\nOur chess mentor from the Elks Club thought the timers were a wonderful addition.\r\nHaving him come on Tuesdays during lunch recess has been a special treat that the students look forward to all week. He has watched them grow, persuades them to play at home, and encourages them to enter tournaments. He even jokes that they are getting so good they might beat him soon! We will be having our last chess club with our mentor this Tuesday, and the group is incredibly excited that he wi be teaching them speed chess.","fullyFundedDate":1772505927804,"projectUrl":"project/strategy-focus-and-fun-making-our-fir/9981248/","projectTitle":"Strategy, Focus, and Fun: Making Our First Move!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Debbie Redenbaugh","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10396189_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1768256634496","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10396189"},{"teacherId":9271101,"projectId":9200991,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for bringing our project, \"Let's Notice Acts of Kindness,\" to life! Your generosity has made a tangible, daily impact on our school community here at Stanley Elementary and because of your support, our instrumental music students have officially stepped into their roles as campus leaders. Armed with the musical pens, note pads, bracelets, and neon swag you funded, they have been actively on the lookout for small acts of kindness. Whether it's a student holding a door open, helping a classmate carry a heavy instrument, or simply offering an unprompted \"please\" and \"thank you,\" these small musical gifts have become highly sought-after badges of honor.\r\n\r\nThis project has seamlessly supported our elementary AVID goals by giving our 3rd-5th graders a meaningful way to practice community service. It is preparing them beautifully for the service requirements they will face in Junior High, all while fostering a deeper appreciation for community and diversity through a shared love of music.\r\n\r\nSeeing the joy on a student's face when they are \"caught being kind\" and handed a musical bracelet by one of their peers is unforgettable. You didn't just fund classroom materials; you helped us build a culture of gratitude, recognition, and leadership.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and our community!","fullyFundedDate":1742580428746,"projectUrl":"project/lets-notice-acts-of-kindness/9200991/","projectTitle":"Let's Notice Acts of Kindness","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Winslow","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9271101_orig.png?crop=859,859,x27,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1694374986674","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9271101"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_91704","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":342,"numTeachers":14,"percentFrplEligible":73,"percentAsian":30,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":58,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"24.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":22.2,"schoolId":91704,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Stanley Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Stanley Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/garden-grove-unified-school-district/agnes-ware-stanley-elementary-school/91704"}
