What may seem like simple organizational supplies are making a meaningful difference in the way we are able to serve our students.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our clothing closet can be organized by size and type of clothing, making it easier for students and families to find what they need with dignity and comfort. The racks and hangers allow clothing to be displayed neatly, while the storage bins help us keep shoes, accessories, and other necessities organized and accessible.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, your support sends a powerful message to our students: You matter. You are cared for. Your school community believes in you.\r\n\r\nHaving access to clean, appropriate clothing can help a student feel more confident and prepared to participate in the school day. Your generosity helps remove one more barrier so our students can focus on learning, building friendships, and reaching their full potential.\r\n\r\nWe are incredibly grateful that you chose to invest in our students and in this important resource. Your kindness reaches far beyond the items purchased—it creates an environment where students can receive assistance privately, respectfully, and without embarrassment.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us build a clothing closet that is organized, welcoming, and centered around the needs and dignity of every student we serve.

We are using the new materials during our literacy, math, small-group, and learning-center activities. These tools help students practice important skills such as letter recognition, beginning sounds, counting, number recognition, problem-solving, fine-motor development, and cooperative play.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, their faces lit up with excitement! They could not wait to explore, touch, count, sort, build, and learn. One special moment occurred during a small-group activity when students used the materials to match letters with their beginning sounds. A student who had previously been hesitant proudly identified a letter and its sound independently. The class celebrated the accomplishment, and the student's confidence immediately grew. Moments like this remind me how powerful hands-on learning can be for young children.\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to continue using these resources in new and challenging ways. Students will participate in activities that strengthen early reading and math skills while encouraging creativity, communication, independence, and teamwork. I will also use the materials to provide targeted practice based on each child's individual learning needs.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, my students have more opportunities to learn through play, take risks, and celebrate their progress. You have helped create a classroom where young minds can explore, grow, and thrive. Thank you for believing in my Pre-K students and helping us build a strong foundation for future success!\r\n\r\nWith heartfelt appreciation,","fullyFundedDate":1762318443791,"projectUrl":"project/tools-to-grow-empowering-pre-k-minds/9460590/","projectTitle":"“Tools to Grow: Empowering Pre-K Minds”","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Davis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10078087_orig.jpg?crop=913,914,x0,y15&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752377613996","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10078087"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_17293","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":240,"numTeachers":15,"percentFrplEligible":87,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":81,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":15,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"16.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":56.3,"schoolId":17293,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Booker T Washington Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Booker T Washington Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/mississippi/clarksdale-municipal-school-district/booker-t-washington-elementary-school/17293"}
