As a first-year teacher, receiving such a wide range of materials—from snacks and student stools to books, crayons, markers, organizational tools, office supplies, and even Mr. Sketch markers and bookmarks—has made an enormous impact on both my classroom and my ability to give my students the learning environment they deserve. Your support helped ease such a huge financial burden and provided items that I would not have been able to purchase on my own.\r\n\r\nBecause of your donations, my students now have access to comfortable seating options, engaging books, colorful supplies that spark creativity, and snacks that help them stay focused and energized. My classroom is more organized, inviting, and functional, which has transformed our daily routines and the way we learn together. These resources have already made a meaningful difference in student motivation and classroom culture.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in my classroom and in me as a first-year teacher. Your kindness has given my students opportunities they wouldn't otherwise have and has supported me during a year full of new challenges and growth. I am deeply grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1760377277269,"projectUrl":"project/first-year-teacher/9793438/","projectTitle":"First Year Teacher","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Worthington","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10301881"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_105418","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":214,"numTeachers":8,"percentFrplEligible":34,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":51,"percentIndigenous":3,"percentLatinx":31,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"26.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":60.0,"schoolId":105418,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Poder Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Poder Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/wyoming/laramie-county-school-district-1/poder-academy/105418"}
