Because of your donation, I was able to purchase specialized books that truly reflect the diverse backgrounds and experiences of my learners—resources that are often far outside of a typical classroom budget. These books allow my students to see themselves represented, which is so meaningful for both their identity and engagement.\r\n\r\nYour support also made it possible to purchase a laminator, which has been a game-changer for my DeafBlind students. I can now create durable, tactile-friendly materials that can be used again and again throughout the year. This not only saves valuable time but ensures that my students have consistent, accessible materials tailored to their needs.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, I was able to invest in high-quality resources from Teachers Pay Teachers, which supports fellow educators while giving me access to materials designed for specific, niche skills. This allows me to spend more time focusing directly on my students and their individual learning goals. Your generosity is making a lasting impact in my classroom, and I truly appreciate your support.","fullyFundedDate":1768078162287,"projectUrl":"project/help-support-deaf-and-hard-of-hearing-st/9845492/","projectTitle":"Help Support Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Boruah","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10321890"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_64862","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":576,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":17,"percentAsian":10,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":56,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"23.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":71.7,"schoolId":64862,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Poolesville Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Poolesville Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/maryland/montgomery-county-public-schools/poolesville-elementary-school/64862"}
