Because of you, my students now have access to a printer, bean bags, and engaging games that are already making a meaningful difference in our learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe printer has been especially impactful. Previously, I had to travel to another location in the building just to print materials, which took away valuable instructional time and made it harder to respond quickly to my students' needs. Now, I am able to print resources right away, whether it's worksheets, visual supports, or activities tailored to each student. This has made instruction more efficient, flexible, and engaging. It also allows me to celebrate student work by printing and sharing their accomplishments, which builds confidence and pride.\r\n\r\nThe bean bags have created a comfortable and welcoming space where students can relax, read, and regulate their emotions. For many of my students, having a cozy place to sit helps them feel safe, focused, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThe games have also been a wonderful addition. They encourage teamwork, communication, and problem-solving while helping students build positive peer relationships in a fun and meaningful way.\r\n\r\nYour kindness is helping to create a classroom environment that supports both academic growth and emotional well-being. My students are truly benefiting from your generosity, and we are incredibly grateful for your support.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our classroom and investing in our students' success.","fullyFundedDate":1767710644954,"projectUrl":"project/building-a-supportive-space-for-students/9693080/","projectTitle":"Building a Supportive Space for Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. MooYoung","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10246058"},{"teacherId":10248215,"projectId":9697377,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation allowing the purchase of crayons, dramatic play costumes, a rug, and PlayDough tools.

The new 2000-watt Behringer sound system has introduced a professional audio experience for our students, and the impact has been immediate and significant.\r\nIn music class, sound is everything. Clear, high-quality audio helps students grasp the nuances of instrumentation, rhythm, melody, and harmony. With the new system, instrument sounds are crisp and detailed, and student voices come through clearly during performances. This helps even the shyest students build confidence in front of an audience. Beyond music, the sound system is also enhancing public speaking, diction, and language development. When working on dance routines, students can better stay in rhythm and feel the beat, leading to more engaging and energetic choreography.\r\nOur students are thrilled to use professional grade equipment. They immediately noticed the improved clarity and quality. When they hear their voices through the speakers, their faces light up, the experience makes them feel like rock stars.\r\nThe system has also sparked curiosity and leadership. A small group of students formed a tech squad and eagerly learned how to operate the equipment; from adjusting volume and sound levels to managing microphones and minimizing feedback. They now take pride in setting up and running the system during performances and assemblies, gaining valuable hands-on experience they can carry into the future.\r\nOne student, new to our school, was initially very shy during music activities. Her teacher soon discovered she had a stunningly mature singing voice for a sixth grader. Although hesitant at first, she began gaining confidence using the microphone. The clarity and strength of the sound system helped her find her voice. She went on to sing \"The Star-Spangled Banner\" acapella for Mayor Spano's televised Spotlight on Schools and performed a solo at her graduation in June.\r\nIt's moments like these, that demonstrate just how invaluable this gift has been for our students. Thank you again for believing in our children and helping us amplify their voices while pumping up the volume on their potential.","fullyFundedDate":1727448638658,"projectUrl":"project/pump-up-the-volume/8807071/","projectTitle":"Pump up the Volume!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Reyes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9234522_orig.jpg?crop=727,727,x0,y96&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726456239100","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9234522"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_23492","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":281,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":15,"percentWhite":19,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":57,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"12.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":69.6,"schoolId":23492,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Paideia School 24 on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Paideia School 24","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/yonkers-public-schools/paidea-school-24/23492"}
