When generous donors such as you fund projects like these, the impact is big and long lasting. The books have been used to create a beautiful display honoring out school mascot, the Coyote. The games, materials, and resources are allowing me to host open library time every morning where students have the opportunity to start their day on a positive note by interacting with peers, finding new books, and participating in a variety of activities.\r\nThe bins have made library days convenient for teachers. They are able to collect books in the morning allowing for smoother transition to library time and efficient routines for getting new books.\r\nOn behalf of our entire school community, I want to extend our heartfelt thanks for your generous support in helping us start this school year strong in our new building.\r\nWe are deeply grateful for your belief in our mission and your investment in our students' success. This school year is off to an incredible start, and you are a big reason why.","fullyFundedDate":1747195409298,"projectUrl":"project/inspiring-a-love-of-reading-and-learning/9169367/","projectTitle":"Inspiring a Love of Reading and Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Carlyle","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5061256_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1514240491214","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/cassandra-carlyle"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_133784","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":71,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":26,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":57,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Weighted Average","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":83.3,"schoolId":133784,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mary Alice Cure Elementary on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mary Alice Cure Elementary","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/waller-independent-school-district/mary-alice-cure-elementary/133784"}
