Your investment made a meaningful difference in the lives of my 4th grade scholars by supporting increased attendance, motivation, and academic growth.\r\nBecause of your generosity, I was able to implement attendance celebrations and academic incentives that encouraged students to attend school consistently and push themselves to meet and exceed their learning goals. As a result, our average monthly perfect attendance increased, and the majority of scholars demonstrated measurable growth across key assessments including i Ready, QMT, and FAST. More importantly, students developed increased confidence, perseverance, and a stronger sense of ownership in their learning.\r\nYour support helped create a positive and motivating classroom culture where scholars felt recognized for their effort and success. The impact of this grant extends beyond data—it has helped establish lasting habits that will continue to benefit students throughout their academic journey.\r\nThank you for believing in educators and students and for your continued commitment to education. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to bring these meaningful experiences to my classroom.\r\nSincerely,\r\nJacqueline Miller\r\n4th Grade Teacher","fullyFundedDate":1769997884339,"projectUrl":"project/math-all-stars/10074510/","projectTitle":"Math All Stars","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Miller","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsjmiller4th"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_75392","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":388,"numTeachers":54,"percentFrplEligible":87,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":74,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":19,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"7.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":63.1,"schoolId":75392,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about James Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"James Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/hillsborough-county-public-school-district/james-elementary-school/75392"}
