Our students are more excited than ever to come to the library, and the centers have given them a much‑needed opportunity to play, create, collaborate, and explore in meaningful ways.\r\n\r\nBecause the centers arrived gradually, students experienced that \"Christmas morning\" joy throughout the entire semester. The impact has been remarkable: behavior has improved, noise levels have decreased, and students are more engaged—whether they are reading, participating in an activity, or creating at a center.\r\n\r\nI am eager to continue expanding our collection so I can rotate centers throughout the year and keep the experience fresh and engaging for all students. Thanks to this support, that goal now feels both achievable and inspiring.\r\n\r\nThank you sincerely for making this possible.","fullyFundedDate":1757516649844,"projectUrl":"project/create-in-the-library/9426019/","projectTitle":"C.R.E.A.T.E. in the Library","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lamb","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8394000_orig.jpg?crop=1365,1365,x0,y131&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750473943718","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8394000"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_56670","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":257,"numTeachers":18,"percentFrplEligible":36,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":88,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":75.0,"schoolId":56670,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Chapman Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Chapman Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kansas/chapman-unified-school-district-473/chapman-elementary-school/56670"}
