Your support has helped create a space where students feel excited to learn, supported in their academic growth, and cared for in every way—mind, body, and spirit.\r\n\r\nThe math resources have already been a game-changer. We recently used them during our unit on fractions, where students worked in small groups using hands-on manipulatives to model real-world problems. They were able to visualize concepts that had previously been difficult to grasp. One moment that stood out was when a student who often struggles with math finally exclaimed, \"Now I get it!\"—a moment of confidence that wouldn't have been possible without these tools.\r\n\r\nThe classroom décor you helped provide has turned our space into a more welcoming and inspiring environment. With bright, engaging visuals and positive messages on the walls, students walk in each day feeling like they belong. It may seem small, but creating a joyful learning space has had a huge impact on their motivation and mood.\r\n\r\nAnd the snacks—what a gift! These have supported our students' focus and energy, especially during long learning blocks and testing days. It's hard to overstate how much a healthy snack can mean to a growing child who's trying to do their best.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials arrived, students were thrilled. Their faces lit up as they explored the new math kits and saw the classroom transform. For many, it was the first time they had access to high-quality supplies just for them.\r\n\r\nRight now, we're preparing for a math showcase where students will create interactive \"math stations\" using the materials you helped provide. They'll invite peers from other classes to try the activities and explain the math behind them—an opportunity to teach others, build confidence, and deepen their own understanding.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our classroom and in the potential of each child here. Your generosity has helped create not just a better learning environment, but also a stronger, more connected classroom community.","fullyFundedDate":1739734885368,"projectUrl":"project/msroxys-classroom-list/8906045/","projectTitle":"Ms.Roxy’s Classroom List","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Roxanne","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9817675_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1737136236396","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9817675"},{"teacherId":9561071,"projectId":8435044,"letterContent":"On behalf of my cheerleading team and myself, I would like to express my deepest gratitude for your generous contribution toward our new cheerleading equipment. Your support has made a remarkable difference in our program and has had a lasting impact on our students.\r\n\r\nWhen the new gear arrived, you could feel the excitement in the air. The students were overjoyed, not just with the new equipment, but with the fact that someone believed in their potential. It was a moment of true pride and motivation. From the bright smiles on their faces to their eager hands reaching for the new uniforms, pom-poms, and accessories, it was clear that your gift meant so much more than just new materials—it was a signal that their hard work and dedication were truly valued.\r\n\r\nSince receiving the equipment, we've been able to enhance both our practice sessions and performances. One specific moment that stands out was during our first routine with the new pom-poms. The team's energy was contagious, and they performed with an extra spark that I hadn't seen before. It's amazing how the right tools can elevate their confidence and enthusiasm. The cheerleaders are not only improving their technical skills, but they are also gaining a sense of camaraderie and pride in representing our school.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for your kindness and generosity. You've helped provide more than just equipment—you've empowered a group of students to aim higher, push harder, and dream bigger. We're excited to share that we won our first trophy for \"best overall cheerleading team\"!","fullyFundedDate":1726086765311,"projectUrl":"project/help-cheer-us-on-1st-ever-eagles-cheerl/8435044/","projectTitle":"Help Cheer Us On: 1st Ever Eagles Cheerleading Team!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cena","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9561071_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757400810042","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mscena95"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_18446","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":405,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":41,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":58,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":72.1,"schoolId":18446,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Paige Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Paige Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/houston-independent-school-district/paige-roderic-elementary-school/18446"}
