Your thoughtful contribution has already made a tremendous difference in the day-to-day learning experience of my students, and I wanted to take a moment to share just how impactful your support has been.\r\n\r\nIn my classroom, each student brings a unique set of strengths, challenges, and goals. Many of my students benefit from additional support and resources that help bridge the gap between understanding and application. Having access to reliable calculators has allowed them to focus more deeply on mathematical concepts rather than becoming discouraged by the mechanics of computation. What might seem like a small tool to some has become an empowering resource for my students, giving them confidence and independence in their work.\r\n\r\nSince receiving your donation, I've watched my students' engagement grow significantly. They are more eager to participate in lessons, take ownership of their learning, and even help one another explore new ways to solve problems. For many of them, math has shifted from being a source of frustration to an opportunity for success. This transformation is not just about having new calculators — it's about what those calculators represent: opportunity, accessibility, and belief in their potential.\r\n\r\nYour generosity also sends a powerful message to my students — that people in our community care about their education and want to see them thrive. For children who sometimes face additional barriers in learning, this message of support can be incredibly motivating. They see that someone they may not even know personally believes in them enough to invest in their future. That sense of encouragement is something no lesson plan can teach, but it leaves a lasting mark on their confidence and motivation.\r\n\r\nAs an educator, I am deeply appreciative of the resources that make it possible to create a more inclusive and effective learning environment. Tools like these calculators allow me to differentiate instruction more easily, meet students where they are, and build lessons that focus on critical thinking and problem-solving. It allows us to move beyond rote work and into the deeper \"why\" behind the math — something that truly helps students grow academically and personally.\r\n\r\nYour kindness and willingness to give have had an immediate and visible impact in our classroom. I am so grateful for your support and for the example you've set in showing how community partnerships can strengthen education. Please know that your contribution continues to make a daily difference — one problem solved, one student encouraged, one success at a time.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity, thoughtfulness, and belief in our students. Your support is not only appreciated but truly celebrated.","fullyFundedDate":1752671545420,"projectUrl":"project/math-manipulatives-for-resource-class/9182067/","projectTitle":"Math Manipulatives for Resource Class","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McKinney","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp349086_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1522865992957","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/349086"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_67265","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":827,"numTeachers":55,"percentFrplEligible":17,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":76,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"15.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":80.0,"schoolId":67265,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bryan Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bryan Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/missouri/francis-howell-school-district/bryan-middle-school/67265"}
