Because of your kindness and commitment to education, our Prekindergarten classrooms have received medals to motivate students that will have a lasting impact on our youngest learners.\r\n\r\nThe moment our project was fully funded, excitement buzzed through our classrooms. As a teacher of early learners, I cannot overstate how foundational alphabet recognition is in setting the stage for future reading success. These formative years are a time when students are learning not only letters and sounds but also how to love learning itself. Your donation has helped us bridge the gap between curiosity and confidence.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, our classrooms have received medals that make learning the alphabet memorable. Already, I have seen an increase in student engagement and excitement during our literacy stations. Children who were previously hesitant to participate in alphabet activities are now eagerly choosing them during center time. The materials have helped build their confidence and provide the repetition needed to master letter names and sounds. One of my students, who struggled to remember even a few letters at the beginning of the year, now proudly identifies over half of the alphabet and is beginning to connect those letters to the sounds they make. That kind of growth is priceless—and it's directly thanks to you.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, your generosity sends a powerful message to my students: that people they've never even met believe in them. In a world that often moves too fast, your act of kindness slowed down just long enough to lift up a group of children who needed it. That message of belief, care, and community support is one they'll carry with them far beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nAs teachers, we also feel an enormous sense of gratitude. DonorsChoose allows educators like us to dream big, think creatively, and advocate for our students' needs—and you make those dreams a reality. You've reminded me that there are good people out there who see the value of investing in education, especially in its earliest stages.\r\n\r\nThank you for being a part of our learning journey. Your donation will continue to make a difference each day as we explore letters, build literacy skills, and develop the confidence to become lifelong readers. You have truly helped us turn a corner in our classroom, and we are so grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1736917134229,"projectUrl":"project/alphabet-recognition/9057814/","projectTitle":"Alphabet Recognition","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Smith","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9893905"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_108432","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":297,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":73,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":59,"percentIndigenous":10,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 1","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":76.6,"schoolId":108432,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about McLoud Early Childhood Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"McLoud Early Childhood Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/oklahoma/mcloud-school-district/mcloud-early-childhood-center/108432"}
