Because of your generous donations we were able to purchase the snow cone machine as well as a scoop, funnels, cups, and syrup!! Some of the celebrations we had for the 2025-2026 school year were: Field Day Snow Cone party for all who participated, showed great sportsmanship and volunteerism. We also provided snow cones for the students that grew and/or showed proficiency on their End of Grade assessments for all students. Our school worked very hard this year to increase student and staff attendance; we had an Attendance Matters Snow Cone party to celebrate those who met their attendance goal. \r\nPromoting student leadership is another one of our school goals, so teaching student leaders how the snow cone machine works and how to use the tools properly to ensure safety was an exciting time to build capacity. With staff facilitation, our student leaders launched a capacity project to find funds to purchase the syrup and cups yearly! \r\nThank you for believing in our school goals and for providing our school the opportunity to celebrate all the wonderful things that our school does each year. The beauty of this project is that it is not a one and done thing, our school now has the ability to celebrate each year with something that makes children smile. It just doesn't get any better than that! \r\n\r\nMost sincerely,\r\nNatasha Christopher-Rubin\r\nMulti Classroom Leader\r\nAycock Elementary School\r\nHenderson, North Carolina 27537","fullyFundedDate":1777401431985,"projectUrl":"project/let-it-snow-in-june/10200313/","projectTitle":"Let it SNOW in June!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Christopher-Rubin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/125678"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_3583","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":336,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":35,"percentWhite":24,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":33,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":6,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":48.5,"schoolId":3583,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Aycock Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Aycock Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/vance-county-school-district/aycock-elementary-school/3583"}
