I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your incredibly generous donation. Thanks to your kindness, I was able to provide my students with much-needed pencils and erasers, making a significant difference in their daily learning experience.\r\n\r\nAs we progress through the school year, our supplies were dwindling rapidly. Your timely donation came as a wonderful surprise and a great relief. Many of my students borrow pencils daily, and these borrowed pencils were not in the best shape. Some were without erasers, while others were getting relatively small. Your contribution has helped us replenish our supplies just when we needed it the most.\r\n\r\nThe joy and excitement on my students' faces when they received the new pencils and erasers were truly heartwarming. They love to write and draw, and now they have the necessary tools to continue their creative and academic endeavors with enthusiasm. Your support has provided them with not only essential supplies but also a renewed sense of motivation and inspiration.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for your generosity and for making a positive impact on the lives of my students. Your support is greatly appreciated, and it has made a lasting difference in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1733497540680,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-essentials-shipment-2024-12-0/8993433/","projectTitle":"Classroom Essentials Shipment: 2024-12-06","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Troxel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9547266_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724115966838","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9547266"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_29799","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":631,"numTeachers":47,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":50,"percentWhite":25,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"5 - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"13.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":66.4,"schoolId":29799,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about South View Upper Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"South View Upper Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/danville-school-district-118/south-view-middle-school/29799"}
