Your generous donation has truly transformed the learning environment for my students.\r\nThanks to your support, I've been able to create a cozy reading nook with flexible seating, where my students can immerse themselves in their favorite books. Additionally, the pencil caddies you helped provide have been a game-changer. They allow my students to keep their pencils, erasers, and crayons organized and easily accessible at all times. Since we use tables instead of desks, these caddies are used daily, and they've become an essential part of our classroom routine.\r\nThe book holders you contributed have also made a huge difference. They hold not only our curriculum books but also writing journals and other important materials, helping my students stay organized and focused on their learning.\r\nBecause of your generosity, my students are better equipped to succeed in the classroom. Your donation has made a lasting impact, and for that, we are beyond grateful.\r\nThank you again for supporting our first-grade class. We will forever remember your kindness.","fullyFundedDate":1752860110350,"projectUrl":"project/shaping-little-minds-to-help-them-blosso/9444440/","projectTitle":"Shaping Little Minds to Help Them Blossom!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Vermeersch","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10069762_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751521635409","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10069762"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_53741","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":728,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":88,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":8,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":74,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"27.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":76.0,"schoolId":53741,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about De Anza Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"De Anza Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/san-jacinto-unified-school-district/de-anza-elementary-school/53741"}
