The students' eyes lit up as they explored the toys, eager to build, design, and experiment. Their enthusiasm has continued to grow as they use the materials during our morning arrival time, transforming what was once a quiet transition into a purposeful, joyful start to the day.\r\n\r\nThese STEM toys have enhanced creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration among my students. I see them working together, sharing ideas, testing solutions, and learning how to communicate and cooperate with their peers. They are building confidence as they explore and create, all while developing critical thinking skills at such an early age.\r\n\r\nYour kindness and generosity have provided my students with opportunities that truly enrich their learning experience. Thank you for believing in my classroom and investing in the curiosity and growth of young learners. We are so grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1762535765924,"projectUrl":"project/starting-our-morning-with-stem/9721262/","projectTitle":"Starting Our Morning With STEM!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Holtzapple","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8531628"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_58366","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":424,"numTeachers":31,"percentFrplEligible":42,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":86,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":87.5,"schoolId":58366,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ryland Heights Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ryland Heights Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kentucky/kenton-county-school-district/ryland-heights-elementary-school/58366"}
