The new resources you provided are not only tools—they are sparks that ignite curiosity, confidence, and joy.\r\n We have already put the materials into action. This week, during our literacy centers, students used the new paper, markers, and organizers to publish their \"All About Me\" mini-books. The room buzzed with creativity as they wrote, illustrated, and shared their stories with their classmates. With sturdy desks and organized learning tools, even my most hesitant writers felt confident and focused.\r\n These resources have also made a difference in our small-group math lessons. Students are now able to work with hands-on tools without waiting to share limited materials. This has increased engagement and allowed every learner to participate fully.Your kindness doesn't just equip a classroom—it empowers young learners to dream, create, and believe in themselves. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for supporting our students and making our classroom a place where learning truly comes alive.","fullyFundedDate":1757647279868,"projectUrl":"project/from-desks-to-dreams-equipping-our-clas/9593539/","projectTitle":"From Desks to Dreams: Equipping Our Classroom Together","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Vivian","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9478782_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1708807668581","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9478782"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_100223","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":74,"numTeachers":5,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":100,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"14.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":45.0,"schoolId":100223,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Rocky Mountain School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Rocky Mountain School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alaska/lower-kuskokwim-school-district/rocky-mountain-school/100223"}
