Your generous donations of folders, dry erase markers and erasers, pencils, pencil boxes, Play-Doh, classroom décor, and snacks have made a meaningful and lasting impact on my students.\r\n\r\nThese supplies may seem small on their own, but together they represent something much bigger—a community that cares deeply about the success and well-being of its children. The folders help students stay organized, the dry erase markers and erasers are used daily in interactive lessons, and the snacks provide much-needed fuel to keep young minds engaged and energized. The Play-Doh offers a creative outlet for imagination and motor skills development, and the colorful classroom décor helps create an inviting, inspiring space where students feel safe and excited to learn.\r\n\r\nThanks to your kindness and support, I am now better equipped to do what I do best— educate, inspire, and nurture. Most importantly, my students feel supported and valued, which is one of the greatest gifts we can give them.\r\n\r\nI am so fortunate to be part of a community that continues to show up for our school. Your generosity is deeply appreciated, and I thank you for being a vital part of my mission to create a positive, enriching educational experience for every child.","fullyFundedDate":1746786043935,"projectUrl":"project/please-help-our-children-with-special-ne/9318021/","projectTitle":"Please Help Our Children With Special Needs","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Pesci","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10013243_orig.jpg?crop=1896,1896,x0,y176&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746394693120","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10013243"},{"teacherId":7743985,"projectId":8686718,"letterContent":"First of all my students and I would love to say thank you again to all of you that supported us.

Thanks to you, we now have the resources to provide nourishing snacks that fuel our learning throughout the day.\r\n\r\nOne of the first things we did was create a \"Healthy Snack Creation Station.\" My students worked together to create balanced snacks using the new supplies, incorporating fruits, veggies, and other wholesome items. It was such a fun, hands-on project, and it allowed them to practice teamwork, measure ingredients, and learn about nutrition. They were so engaged, and many of them were surprised by how creative they could be with simple, healthy ingredients!\r\n\r\nWhen the snacks first arrived, my students couldn't believe their eyes! They were thrilled to see their options that we could use in our daily routine. The excitement was contagious, and they felt proud knowing that they could enjoy nutritious snacks while learning.","fullyFundedDate":1706209118251,"projectUrl":"project/ms-jass-neon-classroom/8160030/","projectTitle":"Ms. Jas's Neon Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9436978"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_80451","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":562,"numTeachers":51,"percentFrplEligible":91,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":66,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":24,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"11.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":59.3,"schoolId":80451,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about New York Avenue Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"New York Avenue Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/atlantic-city-public-school-district/new-york-avenue-elementary-school/80451"}
