Your generosity has brought comfort, laughter, and a surprising amount of excitement about cleaning to our middle school ELA room.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the giant bucket of Clorox wipes, they thought its size was absolutely ridiculous—and they loved it! Now, cleaning tables has become a friendly competition. Students want to see who can clean the most tables and whose wipe ends up looking the \"grossest.\" It makes me laugh that something as simple as cleaning supplies has given them another way to have fun together while taking pride in our shared space.\r\n\r\nThe impact has reached beyond our students, too. Other teachers have stopped by to ask for tissues and have asked how I keep our room so clean and smelling so good. I'm always happy to share the story of the generous donors who made it possible. Having these supplies available means we can take care of everyday needs and keep our classroom comfortable and welcoming.\r\n\r\nAs we continue reading, writing, and learning together, we'll also keep building these habits of caring for our classroom and one another. Thank you for investing in the everyday things that make such a difference. My students and I are so appreciative of your kindness—and we think of you often, especially when that giant bucket comes out!","fullyFundedDate":1785334891066,"projectUrl":"project/healthy-classroom-happy-learners/10360975/","projectTitle":"Healthy Classroom, Happy Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Tomford","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10166944_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y152&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1782933922244","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10166944"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_134786","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":61,"percentAsian":10,"percentBlack":32,"percentWhite":37,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Weighted Average","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":134786,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Stride Academy Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Stride Academy Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/minnesota/minnesota-department-of-education/stride-academy-middle-school/134786"}
