Your support has allowed us to foster a classroom environment where kindness, empathy, and positivity thrive through our Bucket Fillers initiative.\r\n\r\nWith your contribution, we have been able to implement activities that teach students the importance of uplifting one another. Every day, our students are encouraged to \"fill each other's buckets\" with kind words and actions, reinforcing a strong sense of community, respect, and emotional well-being. We have seen firsthand how this simple yet powerful concept improves behavior, builds self-esteem, and creates a culture of encouragement.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, we have been able to introduce engaging activities such as a Bucket-Filling, daily reflections on kindness, and recognition for students who consistently make a positive impact. These moments may seem small, but they shape our students into compassionate individuals who understand the power of their words and actions.\r\n\r\nYour generosity is not only helping us teach valuable life lessons—it is making a lasting difference in the hearts of young learners. Thank you for being a part of our journey and for helping us fill our classroom with kindness.","fullyFundedDate":1665527003363,"projectUrl":"project/bucket-fillers-spread-positivity/6774423/","projectTitle":"Bucket Fillers Spread Positivity!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Pendola","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7027775_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1587271285603","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7027775"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_40462","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":381,"numTeachers":16,"percentFrplEligible":73,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":11,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":83,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"23.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":94.1,"schoolId":40462,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Belleview Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Belleview Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/porterville-unified-school-district/belleview-elementary-school/40462"}
