Because of your kindness, our classroom has been transformed into a bright, welcoming space filled with beautiful décor, inspiring books, and the school supplies students need to thrive.\r\n\r\nThe addition of new books for our classroom library has been especially meaningful. These texts celebrate equity, diversity, and inclusion, giving students the opportunity to read stories that reflect who they are, as well as discover and learn about people and experiences that may be different from their own. Already, I have seen students eagerly reaching for these books, discussing characters they connect with, and sharing what they are learning with one another. This has sparked a new level of excitement and curiosity for reading, while also fostering respect, understanding, and empathy.\r\nThe classroom décor has also made a tremendous difference. Our learning environment now feels warm, safe, and inviting — a place where every child feels comfortable and motivated to do their best. Students have commented on how much they love coming into the classroom each day and how it feels like a space that truly belongs to them.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn addition, the school supplies you provided have ensured that every student is prepared to start the year with confidence. From folders to highlighters to other essential tools, these resources have removed barriers and allowed students to focus on learning without worry. For many families, this support has been an incredible relief, and for the children, it has meant beginning the year on equal footing with their peers.\r\nThanks to your generosity, our school year has started on the right foot. My students are excited, equipped, and ready to learn in a classroom where they feel valued and included. I am deeply grateful for your support and for the positive impact you have made on our classroom community.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWith heartfelt appreciation,","fullyFundedDate":1754757475019,"projectUrl":"project/reading-mvps-all-stars-on-and-off-the-p/9431571/","projectTitle":"Reading MVPs: All-Stars on and Off the Page!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bechtold","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2357815_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1459292724985","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsbechtold"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_90461","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":373,"numTeachers":31,"percentFrplEligible":43,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":49,"percentWhite":29,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"12.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":90.3,"schoolId":90461,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Wyncote Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Wyncote Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/cheltenham-township-school-district/wyncote-elementary-school/90461"}
