Because of you, our students have experienced learning in ways that are hands-on, meaningful, and filled with joy. Every item you donated has become an essential part of our daily routines, helping us grow academically, socially, and emotionally.\r\n\r\nOur Scotch Thermal Laminator has helped us preserve student work and create durable learning tools. We laminate name tags, visual schedules, math manipulatives, and student artwork so children can use them again and again. Seeing their work displayed and protected has given them a sense of pride and ownership in their classroom.\r\n\r\nThe LEGO Classic Creative Transparent Bricks and Magnetic Tiles have transformed our STEM center into a hub of creativity and problem-solving. Students collaborate to build towers, animals, and imaginative worlds while practicing fine motor skills, spatial awareness, and teamwork. These activities spark conversations, encourage persistence, and make learning feel like play.\r\n\r\nOur Montessori Crayon Holder and Craft Organizer keeps our supplies accessible and organized, empowering students to independently choose materials for writing, art, and projects. This simple tool has boosted responsibility and confidence as children take care of their learning space.\r\n\r\nThe glowing message from our \"We Can Do Hard Things\" Neon Sign serves as a daily reminder that effort and perseverance matter. When students face a challenging task, they often look up at the sign and repeat the words aloud, encouraging themselves and their classmates to keep trying.\r\n\r\nWith the Solar System Floor Puzzle, students explore space through movement and teamwork. They work together to assemble planets, discuss their names, and share facts, turning science into a collaborative adventure.\r\n\r\nThe Galaxy Putty Slime has become a calming and creative tool in our sensory corner. It helps students manage big feelings, refocus their energy, and practice mindfulness during transitions or moments of stress.\r\n\r\nOur Hot Glue Gun and Shape Hole Punch Set have elevated our art projects, allowing students to create detailed crafts, greeting cards, and decorations. These tools foster creativity while teaching careful, safe use of classroom materials.\r\n\r\nThanks to the Floor Cord Cover, our classroom remains safe and accessible, giving students freedom to move and learn without worry.\r\n\r\nThe books you provided—The Day the Crayons Quit, It's Okay To Not Be Okay, and Kindness Is My Superpower—have opened powerful conversations about emotions, empathy, and creativity. These stories help students understand their feelings and how to care for others.\r\n\r\nFinally, the Hand Sanitizer supports a healthy learning environment, ensuring students can focus on learning and connection.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a lasting impact on our classroom community. You have given our students tools to dream, create, care, and believe in themselves. Thank you for being a part of their journey.","fullyFundedDate":1761770932748,"projectUrl":"project/help-me-build-a-brighter-future-for-my-f/9445850/","projectTitle":"Help Me Build a Brighter Future for My First Graders!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Karst","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10070552_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751643375435","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10070552"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_131379","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":663,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":30,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":62,"percentIndigenous":4,"percentLatinx":25,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":33.3,"schoolId":131379,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Fox Hills Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Fox Hills Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-dakota/mckenzie-co-school-district-1/fox-hills-elementary-school/131379"}
