Each family resource bag is thoughtfully filled with materials designed to support early learning skills, including letter and number recognition, counting, and handwriting. These resources will allow children to practice and build essential academic abilities at home, giving them a head start before stepping into the classroom.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, the bags also include tools to support coordination and social-emotional development, helping students grow not just as learners but as well-rounded individuals. These early experiences with hands-on materials and emotional learning activities will ease the transition to school, build confidence, and encourage meaningful connections between children and their caregivers. We are deeply grateful for this support, which will make a lasting impact on our youngest Blue Devils and their families.","fullyFundedDate":1736955087239,"projectUrl":"project/kindergarten-camp/8706598/","projectTitle":"Kindergarten Camp","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sealy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2196092"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_10224","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":650,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":37,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":87,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":91.0,"schoolId":10224,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about John E Bryan Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"John E Bryan Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alabama/jefferson-county-schools/john-e-bryan-elementary-school/10224"}
