Because of your generosity, my students have been able to experience what it truly means to celebrate one another and be part of a positive, connected school community.\r\n\r\nThe instant camera has become such a powerful tool in our classroom. While many people think of technology as something used strictly for academics, this project has shown how it can also support social-emotional learning in meaningful ways. Students are using the camera to capture real moments of kindness, teamwork, and encouragement happening throughout our school.\r\n\r\nOne of the most impactful parts of this project has been the opportunity to highlight teachers and staff, while also involving families in the process. Each week, parents are able to nominate a teacher or staff member to be recognized. Students then help celebrate those individuals by capturing photos and sharing their impact. This has created a meaningful connection between home and school, allowing students to see how appreciation and gratitude extend beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nWhat has been most exciting for my students is the joy that comes from recognizing others. They love being able to document these moments and share them, and it has created a ripple effect of positivity. Students are more aware of their actions, more intentional with their words, and more connected to the people around them.","fullyFundedDate":1758805867698,"projectUrl":"project/picture-this-celebrating-each-other-all/9752872/","projectTitle":"Picture This: Celebrating Each Other All Year Long!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ihmeidan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1414766_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1509939218075","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsihmeidan"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_93487","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":878,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":8,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":76,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"20.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":87.4,"schoolId":93487,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about West Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"West Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/tennessee/wilson-county-schools/west-elementary-school/93487"}
