Having consistent access to a laminator has allowed teachers to create durable instructional materials that can be reused year after year, maximizing both time and resources. Classroom visuals, learning centers, schedules, and hands-on activities can now withstand daily student use, which supports a more engaging and organized learning environment. Laminated materials also allow teachers to quickly adapt lessons with dry-erase activities that promote student interaction and participation. Beyond individual classrooms, the laminator has benefited the entire school by helping staff produce clear signage, displays, and resources that support school-wide events and communication. This shared resource has strengthened collaboration among staff and ensured that all students have access to high-quality learning materials. Thanks to the generosity of Donors Choose supporters, our school is better equipped to provide engaging, durable, and effective learning tools for every student.","fullyFundedDate":1765562310562,"projectUrl":"project/help-captain-cg-create-lasting-resources/9657931/","projectTitle":"Help Captain CG Create Lasting Resources and tools.","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Scheffler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1829032_orig.png?crop=150,150,x6,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756327521096","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1829032"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_97608","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":426,"numTeachers":40,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":95,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":69.4,"schoolId":97608,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Captain Gray STEM Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Captain Gray STEM Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/pasco-school-district-1/captain-gray-early-learning-ctr/97608"}
