These bags have helped us stay organized, keep our materials together, and make our daily routines run much more smoothly. My first graders are learning the importance of responsibility and taking care of their belongings while also becoming more independent throughout the school day.\r\n\r\nHaving these bags has allowed us to spend less time searching for materials and more time focusing on what truly matters—learning, growing, and having fun! They have made our classroom activities more enjoyable, organized, and engaging for everyone. My students love having their own bags, and it has been so rewarding to see how something so simple can make such a big impact on our classroom.\r\n\r\nWe are incredibly thankful for your generosity and support in helping create a positive, organized, and exciting learning environment for our little learners.

My students are truly amazing and deserving of every bit of support you have given them—and so much more. The excitement on their faces when they saw the new math games, science games, and supplies is something I will never forget. Seeing their joy and enthusiasm was enough to fill my heart for a lifetime. The STEM challenge has been the most popular so far, and I have a feeling that once we begin multiplication, they are going to love those games just as much!\r\n\r\nI teach at a high-poverty school, and many of my students have experienced more hardship than any child should have to face. Yet, every single day, they walk through our school doors with smiles on their faces. They show up ready to learn, ready to try, and ready to be kids.\r\nThat is why simply saying \"thank you\" doesn't quite feel like enough.\r\nThank you for helping me give them more than just a curriculum to read from—you are helping me give them experiences that make learning exciting and meaningful.","fullyFundedDate":1785170779548,"projectUrl":"project/creating-problem-solving-and-critical-th/10216688/","projectTitle":"Creating Problem-Solving and Critical Thinking Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Emily","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5936618_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1538425154089","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5936618"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_77426","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":276,"numTeachers":38,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":50,"percentWhite":35,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":10,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 3","studentTeacherRatio":"7.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":58.5,"schoolId":77426,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Warren E Hearnes Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Warren E Hearnes Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/missouri/charleston-school-district-r1/warren-e-hearnes-elementary-school/77426"}
