Your support has had a meaningful impact on our students.\r\n\r\nThe cubes quickly became more than just puzzles—they became tools for learning and growth. As students worked through the challenges, they practiced persistence and learned that difficult problems can be solved with patience and determination. Many of them experienced the satisfaction of sticking with something that seemed impossible at first and eventually figuring it out.\r\n\r\nAlong the way, students also strengthened their logical reasoning and problem-solving skills. They collaborated with one another, shared strategies, and encouraged each other to keep trying. Perhaps most importantly, they learned an important life lesson: even challenging tasks can be tackled when you approach them step by step and refuse to give up.\r\n\r\nYour donation helped create an environment where students could build confidence, develop critical thinking skills, and experience the joy of learning through challenge. We are truly grateful for your support of our club and our students.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping make this opportunity possible.\r\n\r\nSincerely, \r\nLisa Kerns & Rosalind Battee\r\nNorth East Elementary Teachers","fullyFundedDate":1764076866061,"projectUrl":"project/rubiks-cube-club/9907660/","projectTitle":"Rubiks Cube Club","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kerns","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10355714"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_64553","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":615,"numTeachers":41,"percentFrplEligible":84,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":18,"percentWhite":56,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":10,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":64553,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about North East Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"North East Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/maryland/cecil-county-school-district/north-east-elementary-school/64553"}
