Because of your generosity, our students now have access to meaningful, engaging experiences that were previously out of reach.\r\n\r\nThese specialized toys have already begun to make a powerful impact. With a simple press of a switch, students are able to activate sounds, lights, and movement—many for the very first time. This cause-and-effect learning is foundational, helping students understand that their actions have purpose and meaning. For students with significant motor and communication challenges, this is a huge step toward greater independence and self-expression.\r\n\r\nBeyond skill development, we are seeing something even more meaningful: increased joy, motivation, and participation. Students who previously had limited ways to engage are now actively involved during therapy and classroom activities. They are exploring their environment, making choices, and connecting with peers and adults in new ways. These moments of success are building confidence and opening the door to further learning.\r\n\r\nYour support has helped create a more inclusive environment where every student has the opportunity to participate and experience success. These toys are not just materials—they are tools for communication, access, and belonging.\r\n\r\nWe are incredibly grateful for your generosity and belief in our students. Thank you for helping make learning more accessible, engaging, and joyful for all.","fullyFundedDate":1766679433338,"projectUrl":"project/adapted-play-for-prek/9815477/","projectTitle":"Adapted Play for Prek","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Todd","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6980830"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_3198","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":481,"numTeachers":39,"percentFrplEligible":31,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":15,"percentWhite":57,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":78.2,"schoolId":3198,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about C & L McDougle Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"C & L McDougle Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/chapel-hill-carrboro-city-sd/c-l-mcdougle-elementary-school/3198"}
