Through read-aloud sessions, creative response projects, and our annual voting celebration, these books are actively fostering empathy and a love for learning in hundreds of students.

Seeing our young readers gasp at the colorful illustrations, gather in cozy corners to read together, and eagerly track which nominees they have read has brought a whole new level of energy to our reading program.\r\n\r\nYour gift does far more than just put new hardcovers on a shelf; it gives our students a voice and builds critical literacy skills.

One of my goals as a librarian is to help students be more independent with their selections, especially since I do not have an aide and cannot help them when I'm at the checkout desk.

Your generosity has already made a wonderful difference in our second grade classroom.\r\n\r\nThe book bins have given each student a designated place to keep their everyday classroom supplies organized and within easy reach. My students were excited to receive their own bins, and we immediately began using them as part of our daily classroom routine. Instead of searching for materials or wondering where something belongs, students can quickly find what they need, take care of their supplies, and get ready to learn. It has been wonderful to see them taking greater responsibility for keeping their individual spaces neat and organized.\r\n\r\nOur new pencil sharpener is also getting plenty of use! Having a dependable sharpener available helps us avoid unnecessary interruptions during lessons and keeps students prepared for writing, math, and other activities throughout the day. And, as any elementary teacher knows, having a backup sharpener ready to go is a wonderful thing!\r\n\r\nAs we move forward this school year, we will continue building routines that encourage independence, responsibility, and good organizational habits. These may seem like small skills, but they help create a classroom where students can spend less time looking for materials and more time reading, writing, solving problems, creating, and learning.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and giving us resources that we will use every single school day.

Your generosity has made a meaningful and lasting impact on my students, and we are deeply grateful for the opportunity you have provided. Because of your contribution, my students now have access to tools that allow them to transfer large-scale images with accuracy and ease, something that once felt intimidating and out of reach for many of them.\r\n\r\nBefore receiving this support, creating large murals was a challenging task that often left students feeling unsure of their abilities. Scaling up their ideas from small sketches to large surfaces required skills and resources we simply did not have. Now, thanks to you, that barrier has been removed. Students can confidently approach mural projects, knowing they have the guidance and tools needed to succeed. This has not only improved their technical skills but has also boosted their confidence in their artistic abilities.\r\n\r\nThe excitement in the classroom has been incredible to witness. Students are eager to begin new projects, collaborate with one another, and experiment with bold ideas. They are learning how to plan, design, and execute large-scale artwork, all while developing patience, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. These experiences go far beyond art—they are building confidence that will carry into other areas of their lives.\r\n\r\nThe murals themselves have transformed our learning environment. What were once plain walls are now vibrant, expressive backdrops that reflect the creativity and voices of our students. Each mural tells a story and represents the hard work and dedication of the young artists who created it. Students take great pride in seeing their work displayed on such a large scale, and it has fostered a strong sense of ownership and accomplishment.\r\n\r\nYour support has also helped students understand the value of community and generosity. They recognize that someone believed in their potential enough to invest in their education and creativity. This realization inspires them to work harder and to appreciate the opportunities they have been given. It also encourages them to think about how they can give back and support others in the future.\r\n\r\nWe cannot thank you enough for making this project possible. Your kindness has opened doors for my students and has allowed them to experience the joy of creating art in a powerful and meaningful way. The confidence they are gaining through this process is something that will stay with them long after the murals are complete.\r\n\r\nFrom all of us, thank you for believing in our students and for helping them bring their creativity to life on a larger scale than ever before.","fullyFundedDate":1768244026970,"projectUrl":"project/murals-with-confidence/9989313/","projectTitle":"Murals with Confidence","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sinnott","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9355124_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722304274114","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9355124"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_82924","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":474,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":23,"percentWhite":13,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":51,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":8,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":54.2,"schoolId":82924,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Chester V Gilbert Magnet School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Chester V Gilbert Magnet School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/clark-county-school-district/chester-v-gilbert-magnet-school/82924"}
