Your support has made a meaningful difference in my classroom—helping us stay healthy, creative, and ready to learn!\r\n\r\nWhen the supplies arrived, the students were thrilled. They couldn't believe how many bright colors of pencils we had to work with, and they immediately began imagining what they could create. The new glue quickly became a favorite tool during our STEM design challenges—students love having reliable materials to bring their ideas to life.\r\n\r\nThe counting manipulatives have been especially valuable during our hands-on lessons. Students used the manipulatives to build patterns or sort by color or size. Of course, the Lysol spray has been a quiet but powerful gift—it helps us keep our classroom clean and healthy, so students can focus on learning without worry.\r\n\r\nYour generosity supports both creativity and care in our learning environment. Because of you, my students have the tools they need to explore, create, and thrive every day. Thank you for believing in the power of education and for helping our classroom shine a little brighter.","fullyFundedDate":1756387030116,"projectUrl":"project/resource-materials/9438867/","projectTitle":"Resource Materials","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hannah","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10066725_orig.jpg?crop=750,750,x0,y50&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751168417959","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10066725"},{"teacherId":10066725,"projectId":9438855,"letterContent":"I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for your generous donation, which provided our students with 26 wiggle seats. These seats have brought incredible energy and focus to our classroom community!\r\n\r\nThe students were so excited when they first saw the new seats—there were lots of eager volunteers to help unpack them! Several students immediately commented that they felt like \"real scientists in motion\" and couldn't wait to try them out during STEM challenges.\r\n\r\nWe now use the wiggle seats daily across a variety of lessons. During STEM projects, they help students maintain focus while brainstorming, building, and testing designs. In particular, during our recent coding lessons, the wiggle seats allowed students to stay physically engaged and comfortable while collaborating for long periods. The seats have also been especially helpful for students who learn best when they can move—helping them channel their energy into creativity and problem-solving.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has truly enhanced our learning environment and created a more inclusive and dynamic space for every student. Thank you for believing in our young learners and for helping us make hands-on, active learning possible every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1756387079308,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating/9438855/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hannah","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10066725_orig.jpg?crop=750,750,x0,y50&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751168417959","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10066725"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_36327","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":436,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":39,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":65,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":15,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":82.9,"schoolId":36327,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bonney Lake Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bonney Lake Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/sumner-bonney-lake-school-district-320/bonney-lake-elementary-school/36327"}
