These materials provide students with the essential tools they need to fully participate in lessons, complete assignments, and express their creativity. When every child has access to the same high-quality supplies, it creates a sense of equity and confidence—students can focus on learning rather than worrying about what they don't have.\r\n\r\nFor me as a teacher, having these resources means I can dedicate more time and energy to teaching and less to finding or purchasing materials out of pocket. It allows me to plan more engaging, hands-on lessons and ensure that each student can take part equally.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, the generosity of donors shows students that there are people who care about their education and believe in their potential. This support fosters motivation, gratitude, and a stronger sense of community within our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1758899190751,"projectUrl":"project/from-pencils-to-possibilities-equipping/9408358/","projectTitle":"From Pencils to Possibilities: Equipping Young Scholars","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Cleary","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3171980_orig.jpg?crop=1139,1139,x1139,y312&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1710354193563","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3171980"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_94403","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":360,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":79,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":15,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":71,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"15.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":51.1,"schoolId":94403,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Urban Institute of Math on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Urban Institute of Math","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/urban-institute-of-math/94403"}
