Your donation didn't just fund supplies—it helped create a learning environment where my students feel excited, capable, and valued. Because of you, our classroom is better equipped, more engaging, and more accessible for all learners. The joy on their faces as we opened and began using the materials said everything.\r\n\r\nThese resources are already making a meaningful difference in our day-to-day learning. Students who often struggle to stay focused are now more engaged because the tools meet their needs. Others who once hesitated to participate are raising their hands—or standing, in our class—because the materials give them the confidence to try, to explore, and to celebrate their thinking. Your contribution has helped build a space where curiosity grows and students feel safe taking risks, making mistakes, and trying again.\r\n\r\nYour kindness also sends a powerful message to my fourth graders: that there are people in the world who believe in them and want to invest in their success. They see that their learning matters—not just to the adults in our school, but to people beyond our walls. That kind of encouragement makes a lasting impact on their motivation, their sense of belonging, and their belief in themselves.\r\n\r\nThank you for being part of our classroom community. Your support has created opportunities that wouldn't have been possible without you, and I am truly grateful. My students and I appreciate you more than you know.","fullyFundedDate":1757901806385,"projectUrl":"project/creating-a-classroom-kids-love-to-learn/9425731/","projectTitle":"Creating a Classroom Kids Love to Learn In!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Petersohn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10060727_orig.jpg?crop=1242,1242,x0,y397&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750457398719","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10060727"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_25776","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":426,"numTeachers":35,"percentFrplEligible":17,"percentAsian":8,"percentBlack":10,"percentWhite":58,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":18,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":81.9,"schoolId":25776,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Churchill Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Churchill Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/community-unit-school-district-308/churchill-elementary-school/25776"}
