Your gift brings opportunities to my students that go far beyond a single lesson or activity. It gives them access to experiences that encourage curiosity, creativity, and confidence.\r\n\r\nMy fifth graders are full of ideas and excitement when it comes to building and creating. Being able to design something digitally and then see it become real has already made learning feel more meaningful and exciting for them. For many of my students, this kind of technology is something they have never had the chance to use before, making this experience especially powerful.\r\n\r\nThis new resource allows students to think critically, try new approaches, and learn that growth often comes from trial and error. They are developing perseverance, collaboration, and pride in their work as they bring their ideas to life.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has helped open doors for my students and shown them that their ideas matter. Thank you for believing in them and for making an impact that will stay with them long after this school year ends.","fullyFundedDate":1763240141093,"projectUrl":"project/invent-it-3d-printing-for-young-enginee/9764533/","projectTitle":"Invent It! 3D Printing for Young Engineers","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Snyder","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10288599_orig.jpg?crop=288,288,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758894989390","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10288599"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_48645","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":326,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":61,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":95,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":83.3,"schoolId":48645,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Penns Manor Area Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Penns Manor Area Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/penns-manor-area-school-district/penns-manor-area-elementary-school/48645"}
