My students were so excited to use them. I even started a STEM club that takes place on early release days. \r\n\r\nOn behalf of my students, and our entire school community, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude for your generous donation to our classroom. Your thoughtful contribution has made a remarkable impact, not only on the resources we are able to provide, but also on the excitement, curiosity, and creativity that now fill our learning space. \r\n\r\nAs an educator, one of my greatest joys is watching students light up with wonder when they make a new discovery or find a hands-on way to connect with a difficult concept. Your donation has allowed us to take learning beyond the textbook. The materials from General Motors have transformed our lessons into dynamic, interactive experiences that encourage students to think critically, problem-solve collaboratively, and see real-world connections to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.\r\n\r\nFor many of my students, this has been their very first opportunity to explore STEM in a hands-on way. These moments of exploration are more than just fun classroom activities — they are the spark that can ignite lifelong interest in STEM fields.\r\n\r\nYour support represents much more than the materials themselves. It demonstrates a true commitment to education, equity, and the next generation of thinkers and creators. Many of our students come from backgrounds where access to resources like these is limited. By providing us with these tools, you've helped ensure that every student, regardless of circumstance, has the chance to engage meaningfully with STEM learning and to believe in their own potential. That belief — the sense that \"I can do this\" — is one of the most powerful gifts you could give a child.\r\n\r\nWe also appreciate the way General Motors consistently invests in communities like ours. Your dedication to corporate social responsibility and your focus on advancing STEM education reflect values that align beautifully with what we strive to teach our students: innovation, perseverance, and the importance of using our talents to make the world a better place.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity, your partnership, and your faith in the power of education. You have not only provided valuable classroom resources, but you have also inspired a room full of young minds to dream bigger and reach higher. We are so grateful for your investment in our future scientists, engineers, and innovators. Your support will have a lasting impact far beyond this school year.","fullyFundedDate":1742219497598,"projectUrl":"project/stem-help/9088792/","projectTitle":"STEM Help","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Harris","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8534893"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_96238","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":422,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":63,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":32,"percentWhite":36,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":20,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":65.7,"schoolId":96238,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Long Mill Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Long Mill Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/franklin-county-school-district/long-mill-elementary-school/96238"}
