Now, every student has the opportunity to play what I teach, practice proper technique, and explore rhythm in a hands-on way. For many of my students, this is their first experience creating music through percussion, and their excitement is contagious.\r\n With these new drumsticks and mallets, students are developing coordination, listening skills, teamwork, and self-expression. I've already seen increased engagement, focus, and pride as they perform rhythms together and support one another. The music program, will now become an even more inclusive space where every student feels successful and heard.\r\n Your kindness has done more than provide supplies—you've given my students the tools to build confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love of music. Thank you for believing in my students and in the power of music education. We are deeply grateful for your support.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nSterling James Hunter","fullyFundedDate":1754144417524,"projectUrl":"project/drumming-for-goodness/9497329/","projectTitle":"Drumming for Goodness!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Hunter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10092241"},{"teacherId":10092170,"projectId":9734993,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom project! Because of your kindness, our students now have an incredible variety of Post-it notes in all shapes and sizes—and you would be amazed at the difference such a simple tool has made.\r\n These Post-its have quickly become one of the most versatile resources in our room. Students use the larger notes during reading and science to jot down big ideas, questions, and connections. The medium notes have become a favorite for small-group discussions, where students capture key vocabulary and summarize what they've learned. And the smallest notes? Those are perfect for quick check-ins, exit tickets, and moments when students want to leave encouraging messages for their classmates.\r\n Beyond academics, the Post-it notes have helped build student confidence. Many students who are reluctant to speak out loud have found comfort in sharing their thoughts on a colorful note. They love seeing their ideas displayed around the classroom, and it has created a sense of ownership and pride in our learning environment.\r\n Your support didn't just give us supplies—you gave students a way to organize their thinking, share their voices, and engage more deeply with their learning each day. We are so grateful for your generosity and belief in our classroom.Thank you for investing in our students and helping them grow.\r\nWith appreciation,\r\nMrs. Drake and Students","fullyFundedDate":1762265368967,"projectUrl":"project/post-it-with-learning/9734993/","projectTitle":"Post-It With Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Drake","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10092170"},{"teacherId":10092170,"projectId":9510880,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom! Your kindness has made a huge difference for my students and me. Because of your donation, we now have the basic supplies that help keep our classroom running smoothly and our students focused on learning.\r\n The new pencils, colored pens, glue sticks, and erasers have become everyday essentials that allow my students to express their creativity and complete their assignments with pride. The index cards have been especially useful for vocabulary practice, math flashcards, and organizing research projects—helping students build study skills that will last a lifetime.\r\n Our new stapler and pencil sharpener have already been put to good use! It's amazing how much smoother the day runs when we have the right tools readily available. And the Kleenex may seem like a small thing, but it helps keep everyone comfortable and healthy—especially during this cold and allergy season with fighting off germs.\r\n Your generosity doesn't just supply materials and materials—it boosts morale, builds excitement for learning, and reminds students that there are people out there who care about their education and believe in their potential of learning. Also, students are enjoying having the job as the ''Classroom Assistant'' which is to pass out supplies and materials when needed.\r\n From all of us in our classroom, thank you again for making a difference. You've helped create a more organized, creative, and caring learning environment for our young learners.","fullyFundedDate":1758202691276,"projectUrl":"project/school-supply-mania/9510880/","projectTitle":"School Supply Mania","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Drake","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10092170"},{"teacherId":10092170,"projectId":9499397,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our classroom has been transformed by the addition of a color printer! What may seem like a small piece of technology has made a huge difference in the way my students learn, create, and take pride in their work. My students thrive on creativity, collaboration and hands-on learning during daily instruction.\r\n Before, our printed materials were in black and white, which often made visuals, charts, and student projects harder to bring to life. Now, we can print vivid anchor charts, color-coded learning materials, and engaging visuals that help EVERY student — especially our visual learners — grasp new concepts more effectively. The color printer has also given students the opportunity to produce professional-looking final drafts of their writing, reports, and research projects. Seeing their work in full color has boosted their confidence and motivation tremendously\r\n Your donation didn't just provide a printer — it brought creativity, excitement, and possibility into our classroom. Also, your support will make a direct and lasting impact on daily learning experience. Thank you for believing in my students and investing in their education. Because of you, our learning environment is brighter and more inspiring every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1758202612459,"projectUrl":"project/learning-pictures/9499397/","projectTitle":"Learning Pictures","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Drake","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10092170"},{"teacherId":10092170,"projectId":9497082,"letterContent":"Our students are absolutely thrilled and grateful for your generous support! Thanks to your donation, our classroom now has the supplies we need to stay creative, organized, germ free and healthy throughout the school year.\r\n The writing pencils are helping our young writers practice their handwriting and express their ideas with confidence, along with completing written tasks and activities. The colored copy paper brings excitement and fun to our daily lessons — students love seeing their projects and activities come to life in bright colors.\r\n With the paper trimmer and paper shredder, we're keeping our classroom tidy and efficient. The trimmer makes it easy to prepare learning materials, and the shredder helps us responsibly recycle paper after projects are complete. Also, during math, the students have a better understanding of Place Value since we utilized the paper shredded to cut perfect strips to represent thousands, hundreds, and tens with the colored paper. Also, the paper trimmer supports the different shapes we used during math and science lessons.\r\n Your gift of Lysol spray and disinfecting wipes helps us maintain a clean and healthy learning space. The students take pride in helping keep our classroom safe and germ-free place to learn. The students are now taking the initiative to keep our classroom germ free by wiping down the tables, chairs and supplies. Also, they remind me to spray after we leave the classroom. \r\n I will continue to support daily teaching and learning and meet the daily needs of all students.Thank you for believing in our students and supporting their success — your kindness truly makes a difference every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1755991984201,"projectUrl":"project/school-supply-essentials/9497082/","projectTitle":"School Supply Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Drake","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10092170"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_49184","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":412,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":88,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":81.1,"schoolId":49184,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Turner Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Turner Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/dougherty-county-school-system/turner-elementary-school/49184"}
