I have watched students become more confident, more motivated, and more excited about reading and writing. They are discussing characters, analyzing themes, and even creating their own stories with enthusiasm I had not seen before.\r\n\r\nYour donation did more than purchase books; it created opportunities for creativity, literacy growth, and a deeper love of learning. Please know that your generosity is felt every single day in our classroom.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of my students and myself, thank you for believing in our project and investing in their future.","fullyFundedDate":1764736066539,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-keep-the-plot-twisting/9855602/","projectTitle":"Help Us Keep the Plot Twisting!”","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Tiffany Devincenzi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4874318_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723546361896","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/t-devincenzi"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_21211","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":545,"numTeachers":39,"percentFrplEligible":21,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":71,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"14.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":80.6,"schoolId":21211,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Brinckerhoff Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Brinckerhoff Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/wappingers-central-school-district/brinckerhoff-elementary-school/21211"}
