One of our first projects is a sixth-grade legacy mural, where each student is designing a wooden square that represents who they are and the impact they want to leave on our school. Using the paint pens, construction paper, and cardboard cutter, students are planning, creating, and revising their work with care and pride, truly taking ownership of the process. At the same time, our Student Council students are using the assembly games, including our oversized Granny Pants game, to plan and lead school-wide events that bring joy and connection to our campus. The flexible seating chair is already supporting students who need a calm, comfortable space to reset and refocus, helping them stay engaged throughout the day. When students first saw the materials, their excitement was immediate—they were eager to explore, create, and share ideas, and many began envisioning projects right away. For some, especially those who struggle in traditional settings, these tools helped them feel seen and supported. Next, students will complete and install their mural as a permanent display, continue leading assemblies that build school spirit, and use these resources in future project-based learning experiences. These materials are not just supplies—they are helping create a classroom environment where students feel empowered to belong, lead, and grow.","fullyFundedDate":1769177933081,"projectUrl":"project/tools-for-learning-creativity-and-lead/9928230/","projectTitle":"Tools for Learning, Creativity, and Leadership","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Abbey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5240055_orig.jpg?crop=753,753,x28,y312&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1648094173750","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/aabbey"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_45920","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":537,"numTeachers":38,"percentFrplEligible":64,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":11,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":3,"percentLatinx":72,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"14.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":69.6,"schoolId":45920,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Frye Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Frye Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/chandler-unified-school-district-80/frye-elementary-school/45920"}
