Your kindness has already made a meaningful difference in our classroom community.\r\n\r\nOur previous bench had faithfully served many years of little learners before finally reaching the end of its life. Thanks to your generosity, our children once again have a special place outdoors where they can pause, connect, and simply enjoy being together.\r\n\r\nFor our toddlers, a bench is much more than a place to sit. It becomes a gathering space for conversations with friends, listening to stories, observing nature, practicing turn-taking, and taking a quiet moment to rest after exploring. These everyday experiences help build language, social-emotional skills, friendships, and a sense of belonging.\r\n\r\nYour thoughtful gift has restored an important part of our outdoor learning environment and created countless opportunities for meaningful interactions and joyful memories. We are truly grateful that you chose to invest in our youngest learners and help create a welcoming space where they can grow, learn, and thrive.\r\n\r\nThank you for making a lasting impact on the lives of our children. Your generosity will be appreciated each time little feet gather around our new bench to laugh, learn, and explore together.\r\n\r\nWith sincere gratitude,\r\n\r\nThe Beach Early Head Start Team","fullyFundedDate":1773463903674,"projectUrl":"project/a-little-bench-and-a-lot-of-big-moments/10058387/","projectTitle":"A Little Bench and a Lot of Big Moments","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. K.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10418251"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_30615","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":200,"numTeachers":7,"percentFrplEligible":70,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":28,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":58,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":2,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"11 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"28.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":62.5,"schoolId":30615,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Will J Reid High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Will J Reid High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/long-beach-unified-school-district/reid-continuation-high-school/30615"}
