Your contribution helped provide our students with an invaluable hands-on learning experience that connects creativity, problem-solving, and academic growth.\r\n\r\nThrough designing, shaping, and racing their own cars, our students will have the opportunity to explore essential concepts in science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM/STEM). They dove into the principles of friction, aerodynamics, weight distribution, and momentum while developing critical skills in measurement, planning, and collaboration.\r\n\r\nBeyond the technical knowledge, this project fostered teamwork, perseverance, and creativity. Students not only tested their ideas and made adjustments as real engineers do, but they also experiences the joy and pride of building something with their own hands and watching it come to life on race day. The sense of accomplishment and confidence they gained will extend far beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, our students have seen how learning can propel them forward in their academic journeys, and they also gained skills and confidence that will serve them well into the future.\r\n\r\nWe are truly grateful for your partnership in making this exciting project possible. Thank you again for your generosity and commitment to helping our students grow and succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1759880570490,"projectUrl":"project/full-steam-ahead-pinewood-derby-innovat/9788848/","projectTitle":"Full STEAM Ahead: Pinewood Derby Innovation!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. West","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9575755_orig.jpg?crop=1381,1381,x0,y532&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759513292633","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9575755"},{"teacherId":4527924,"projectId":9388642,"letterContent":"Thank you so very much for your generous donations to our classroom library.

With your help, there's such a wide variety of novels that there's one for every kind of reader. \r\nMy students now have more choices that reflect their interests, reading levels, and personalities. For many of them, these books have inspired a new sense of independence during reading time; they're selecting texts that challenge them, captivate them, and keep them engaged longer. It has been amazing to see how motivated they are when they're holding a book that truly interests them. Thanks to this project, reading feels like something they want to do, not something they have to do, and that shift has been powerful.","fullyFundedDate":1754608863108,"projectUrl":"project/graphics-and-comics-and-stories-oh-my/9388642/","projectTitle":"Graphics and Comics and Stories, Oh My!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Quintern","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4527924_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754525933363","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4527924"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_120944","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1220,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":13,"percentAsian":11,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":34,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":41,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":83.8,"schoolId":120944,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Laureate Park Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Laureate Park Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/orange-county-public-schools/laureate-park-elementary-school/120944"}
