Thanks to your generosity, our classroom has been equipped with state-of-the-art resources and supplies that have opened up new worlds of hands-on, experiential learning. The hydroponics system you funded, for instance, has allowed students to witness firsthand the miracle of plant growth and development. Through maintaining this innovative setup and charting the progress of the plants, students have gained a deeper understanding of crucial biological and ecological concepts. Seeing their seedlings sprout and flourish through the application of scientific principles has sparked immense curiosity and enthusiasm. Beyond the academic insights, this project has also instilled in students a sense of responsibility, teamwork, and appreciation for the natural world. My students and I are immensely grateful for how you've elevated and enriched the learning that takes place within the four walls of our classroom. Your support is truly shaping the next generation of engaged learners and conscientious citizens. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.","fullyFundedDate":1742496044142,"projectUrl":"project/cultivating-curiosity-a-hydroponics-adv/9146634/","projectTitle":"Cultivating Curiosity: A Hydroponics Adventure in the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sanders","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9822190"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_83019","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":295,"numTeachers":16,"percentFrplEligible":29,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":57,"percentIndigenous":4,"percentLatinx":34,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"18.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":63.6,"schoolId":83019,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Wells Combined School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Wells Combined School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/elko-county-school-district/wells-school/83019"}
