Our library is more than a place to read—it is a space where students explore, question, and discover how the world works. With the addition of these STEM kits, we have been able to turn that curiosity into hands-on learning experiences that connect reading, science, math, and technology.\r\n\r\nThese kits allow students to design, build, code, and experiment in ways that deepen their understanding of classroom concepts. Through collaborative challenges and creative problem-solving, students will strengthen critical thinking skills while discovering that STEM learning is both exciting and meaningful. For our students in a rural community, these opportunities also open doors to careers and possibilities they may not have previously imagined.\r\n\r\nYour support helps transform our library into an active learning hub where every student can explore, innovate, and grow. Because of your generosity, our students will not only read about the future—they will have the chance to build it. Thank you for investing in the curiosity and potential of our learners.","fullyFundedDate":1763594950892,"projectUrl":"project/media-maker-hub/9585754/","projectTitle":"Media Maker Hub","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Grimmett","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5970404"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_2992","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":111,"numTeachers":11,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":74,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":59.6,"schoolId":2992,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Comfort Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Comfort Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/jones-county-school-district/comfort-elementary-school/2992"}
