The crayons instantly became a favorite—they were eager to use the fresh, bright colors in their writing and art projects. One special moment was during a writing activity where students illustrated their stories; the variety of crayons let them bring their ideas to life in a way they hadn't been able to before. You could see their faces light up as they proudly shared their finished work with the class.\r\nThe Clorox spray has also been a huge help in keeping our classroom clean and safe. My students understand the importance of taking care of our space, and having these resources allows us to create a healthier learning environment.\r\nNext, we're working on a collaborative project where students will write and illustrate a class book. Thanks to your support, they now have the tools to make their pages colorful, creative, and meaningful. We can't wait to share the finished product!\r\nThank you again for helping us make our classroom a brighter and better place for learning.","fullyFundedDate":1750223898418,"projectUrl":"project/clean-bright-ready-to-learn/9360034/","projectTitle":"Clean, Bright & Ready to Learn","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mann","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10036929"},{"teacherId":5216751,"projectId":9159629,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our classroom has been transformed into a more organized, efficient, and engaging space for learning. The whiteboards and dry erase markers have allowed my students to participate more actively in lessons, from practicing math problems to brainstorming ideas in real time. The copier paper and folders help us stay on track with daily work and communication, especially for students who need consistent take-home materials to reinforce learning. These basic supplies may seem simple, but to my students, they mean confidence, readiness, and the ability to fully take part in each lesson.\r\n\r\nWhat truly excites my students is the new sense of independence and order in our classroom. With the rolling utility cart, folding wagon, and file cabinet, students can now access materials quickly and take more responsibility for managing their own learning tools. But their absolute favorite? The large trunk we've turned into our \"treasure box.\" This chest has become a beloved classroom centerpiece, filled with small prizes that reward positive behavior and effort. It's more than just a reward system—it's a symbol of encouragement and growth. Students who once struggled to stay focused are now motivated to earn their way to the treasure box, and their sense of pride is contagious.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and our classroom. Your support has not only provided much-needed materials, but also boosted morale, motivation, and daily engagement. You've helped build a space where students feel excited to learn—and that's a gift that lasts well beyond a school year.","fullyFundedDate":1746724977149,"projectUrl":"project/hear-see-succeed-tech-tools-for-eng/9159629/","projectTitle":"\"Hear, See, Succeed: Tech Tools for Engaged Learning!\"","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Lane","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mwlane"},{"teacherId":5216751,"projectId":8900311,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support! Thanks to your contribution, we've introduced exciting new technology into our classroom that is already transforming the learning experience for our students. This technology allows them to explore, create, and collaborate in dynamic ways that traditional methods simply can't match. From practicing math with educational apps to conducting virtual science experiments, students are more engaged, focused, and motivated in their learning.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting aspects of this new technology is how it empowers students by giving them control over their learning. I've seen students who were previously quiet or struggled with certain subjects truly blossom. For example, a student who once hesitated to participate now confidently shares her digital storytelling projects, while another who had difficulty reading is making significant progress through adaptive learning tools. This project has not only enhanced their academic growth but also fostered a more inclusive and exciting classroom environment.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making all of this possible—your support is opening new doors for our students every day!","fullyFundedDate":1740512900139,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-learning-with-essential-class/8900311/","projectTitle":"Empowering Learning With Essential Classroom Tools and Comfort","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Lane","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mwlane"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_93971","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":472,"numTeachers":38,"percentFrplEligible":70,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":74,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":64.7,"schoolId":93971,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bethlehem Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bethlehem Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/henry-county-schools/bethleham-elementary-school/93971"}
