Your contribution has helped us greatly here in 2nd grade.\r\nThe multi-color pens have been awesome for students to use to find text evidence, write different supporting evidence, and practice writing/spelling their spelling words.\r\nThe cardstock and lamination is something that we definitely use FREQUENTLY. When we do writing and reading projects the cardstock is most preferred. We laminate reading and math materials to use for reference and we also laminate reading and writing games that can be used over and over again. \r\nThe printer has been awesome to use for notebooks and labeling. We can create reference charts for their notebooks and activities such as diagrams that students can use to show understanding of new concepts.\r\nNotecards are always helpful for flash cards, sequencing activities, and etc.\r\nWe are so appreciative of your support.

They love to earn stickers and stamps for excellent work. Friday prize box items are fun for all. The basketballs have been great for recess because we did not have any before to be able to utilize the basketball goals. The students also LOVED THE bright colored pencils.\r\nWe can not say thank you enough for your kindness.","fullyFundedDate":1746787236962,"projectUrl":"project/supplies-for-scholars/9168807/","projectTitle":"Supplies for Scholars!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Knox","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5989428_orig.jpg?crop=1242,1242,x0,y194&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1770363441507","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5989428"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_2508","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":597,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":13,"percentWhite":70,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":10,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":57.7,"schoolId":2508,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Springmore Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Springmore Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/cleveland-county-school-district/springmore-elementary-school/2508"}
