Because of your kindness, we've been able to create a more structured and accessible learning environment—and our students are off to a wonderful start this school year!\r\nThe new classroom partition gives students a calm, private space for quiet breaks when needed. Seat pockets ensure that each student always has quick access to their most important items, like communication devices and sensory tools. The red storage bins provide clear visual cues for where to place completed tasks before moving on to the next activity. Together, these supports have made our classroom more organized, reduced transition times, and allowed us to spend more time focused on meaningful learning.\r\nYour donation has had a tangible, positive impact on our students' daily experience. Especially at a time when special education programs face reduced federal funding and oversight, your generosity has directly supported a student with disabilities in a public school.

Donations can supply classrooms with essential materials such as books, technology, art supplies, and hands-on learning tools that enrich the educational experience. These contributions help create an engaging and well-equipped learning environment, allowing teachers to implement creative lessons and meet the diverse needs of their students. In many cases, donations directly reduce the financial burden on teachers, who often spend their own money to provide for their classrooms.\r\n\r\nBeyond the tangible resources, class donations also carry an emotional and motivational impact. They show students and educators that their community values education and supports their success. This sense of encouragement can boost morale, inspire students to take pride in their learning, and remind teachers that their work is recognized and appreciated. By bridging the gap between limited school funding and classroom needs, donations not only enhance day-to-day learning but also foster a culture of support, equity, and opportunity.","fullyFundedDate":1755736492743,"projectUrl":"project/school-supplies-second-grade/9537687/","projectTitle":"School Supplies Second Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sumpter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9274693_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1694556244976","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9274693"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_130431","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":583,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":26,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":26,"percentWhite":48,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":84.8,"schoolId":130431,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lyons Farm Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lyons Farm Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/durham-public-schools/lyons-farm-elementary-school/130431"}
