We've already begun using them during small-group instruction and hands-on activities, and the level of excitement has been incredible.\r\nOne of my favorite moments happened the day the materials arrived. As soon as the students walked in and saw everything set up, their faces lit up. Several students immediately asked, \"Is this really for us?\" and gathered around, eager to explore. For many of them, having access to high-quality tools felt special—and empowering.\r\nLooking ahead, these resources will continue to support upcoming lessons and projects. We are preparing to launch a unit that allows students to explore more advanced concepts, and the materials you provided will help them dive deeper, participate more fully, and achieve greater success. Your contribution is not just a donation—it is a meaningful investment in their growth, confidence, and love of learning.\r\nThank you for giving my students the opportunity to learn in a way that feels exciting, supported, and full of possibility. Your kindness has made a lasting difference in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1755868033162,"projectUrl":"project/rolling-into-success-storage-and-space/9529073/","projectTitle":"Rolling Into Success: Storage and Space to Grow","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Odom","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10109078_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754178417751","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10109078"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_17081","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":652,"numTeachers":40,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":26,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":68,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":64.9,"schoolId":17081,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Griffin Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Griffin Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/tyler-independent-school-district/griffin-elementary-school/17081"}
