Because of you, an empty patch of ground has transformed into a beautiful, thriving learning space. Over the past few weeks, we have been able to dig out the garden area, install raised beds, plant bulbs, and lay rock, soil, and mulch. Watching this small dream grow into something real has been incredibly exciting and it's all thanks to your kindness.\r\n\r\nIn January, our students will begin their Botany unit, and they will now get to experience it in a hands-on, immersive way. Instead of just reading about plants and ecosystems, they'll be able to step outside and learn from a living, breathing garden that they helped inspire. This space will not only benefit my SOAR students, but every child in our school who walks by and sees the beauty, growth, and curiosity blooming in this shared space.\r\n\r\nI'm thrilled to share our progress photos with you and to show you the difference your donation has made. Your generosity has planted far more than flowers. You've planted excitement, wonder, and opportunity for every student who will learn here.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping this dream come to life.","fullyFundedDate":1759771277372,"projectUrl":"project/together-we-grow/9756149/","projectTitle":"Together We Grow","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kossakowski","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5939209_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758717520366","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5939209"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_77719","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":412,"numTeachers":40,"percentFrplEligible":2,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":20,"percentWhite":65,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"10.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":86.1,"schoolId":77719,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Harris Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Harris Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/missouri/st-charles-city-school-district-r6/harris-elementary-school/77719"}
