Your support has created a truly magical and unforgettable learning experience for my students.\r\n\r\nBecause of your donation, my students had the opportunity to watch butterflies grow through every stage of their life cycle—from tiny caterpillars, to chrysalises, and finally to beautiful butterflies. For many of them, this was their first time witnessing the wonders of nature up close. Each day, they came into the classroom eager to observe, measure, and document the changes they saw. Their excitement was contagious, and their curiosity grew right alongside our caterpillars.\r\n\r\nYour kindness made it possible for us to explore science in a hands-on, meaningful way. This project didn't just teach life cycles—it taught responsibility, patience, and respect for living things. Students asked thoughtful questions, made predictions, and celebrated together when the butterflies finally spread their wings. These are the moments that spark a lifelong love for learning.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our classroom and choosing to support experiences that truly make a difference. Your generosity has allowed my students to learn in a way that textbooks simply can't replicate. We are all so grateful for the joy, wonder, and learning your donation brought into our room.","fullyFundedDate":1763589723837,"projectUrl":"project/butterfly-discovery-hands-on-learning-f/9773148/","projectTitle":"Butterfly Discovery: Hands-On Learning for Young Scientists","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Captain","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9292559_orig.png?crop=272,272,x0,y45&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1695268400988","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9292559"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_38623","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":676,"numTeachers":54,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":58,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":22,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"7 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"12.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":73.3,"schoolId":38623,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Maplewood Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Maplewood Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/wisconsin/menasha-joint-school-district/maplewood-middle-school/38623"}
