Your donation helped provide learning materials and classroom incentives that have made a truly meaningful impact on both our high school mentors and their elementary school buddies.\r\n\r\nWith your help, we were able to enhance the mentoring experience through engaging and interactive activities. The supplies you funded—like educational manipulatives, dry erase markers, and classroom incentives—helped our students create lessons that were hands-on, purposeful, and fun. Our kindergarten buddies especially loved the alphabet pop-its, which made practicing letters and spelling feel like a game. The dry erase markers were a hit with all ages, helping keep activities neat and interactive. And the scratch-and-sniff stickers? Those quickly became the most anticipated part of every lesson!\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our high school students were able to step into leadership roles and see firsthand how creativity, encouragement, and thoughtful planning can light up a child's face. These shared experiences not only reinforced academic skills for our elementary students, but also built confidence, empathy, and a love for teaching in our future educators.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and investing in this cross-age learning opportunity. Your kindness has made a difference, and we are so grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1740752528608,"projectUrl":"project/learning-materials-and-incentives-for-te/9005782/","projectTitle":"Learning Materials and Incentives for Teachers for Tomorrow Buddies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Janney","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1726316_orig.png?crop=557,557,x15,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1709136733369","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1726316"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_107979","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":300,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":38,"percentWhite":29,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":20,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":62.5,"schoolId":107979,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Roanoke Technical Education Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Roanoke Technical Education Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/roanoke-city-school-district/roanoke-technical-education-center/107979"}
