The students led the charge with a neighborhood cleanup and plan to continue their advocacy next year \r\nIn addition they created the rain barrels after visiting the local community garden. The garden does not have a direct water source so the barrels are a great asset. We also planted strawberries, leafy greens and cauliflower plants that were started in a hydroponic growing tower. Thank you for choosing our students to support. We could not have created such a meaningful and productive project without your support.","fullyFundedDate":1746209112655,"projectUrl":"project/its-our-world-lets-protect-it-drop-by/9287180/","projectTitle":"It's our world, let's protect it drop by drop!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. K","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5900895"},{"teacherId":9771723,"projectId":8810563,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom, we appreciate you donating so that we can have a more comfortable classroom! Our new class rug has completely changed our partner activities during lessons! This makes it so much easier to turn and talk, especially for our math partner games. The students usually work in pairs of two, and play games that involve dice, subtraction and addition. This rug gives them more space to complete this activity comfortably on the rug without feeling squished.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw our new rug, they were very surprised and happy! I didn't tell them that the project got funded, I just changed the rug after school one day and when they came in the next day they were so shocked!!! They all couldn't wait to sit on the rug! Many of the students said that they liked the new rug way better. \r\n\r\nThe next classroom project that we will be working on is creating \"The Most Magnificent Thing\", which is related to a book that we have been reading. The students will need to work together as a group of four and come up with something that we NEED and something that will be useful for our classroom. For this project , students will sit in designated areas, so the rug will allow more space for groups to fit comfortably and discuss their next steps as far as creating their magnificent thing. \r\n\r\nWe just want to say thank you once again!","fullyFundedDate":1732291156093,"projectUrl":"project/come-on-down-to-the-comfy-station/8810563/","projectTitle":"Come on Down to the Comfy Station","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Douse","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9771723"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_269","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":347,"numTeachers":42,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":20,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":76,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"8.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":48.9,"schoolId":269,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about PS 30 Wilton on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"PS 30 Wilton","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/ps-30-wilton/269"}
