His presence brings comfort, joy, and encouragement to students each day. Many children look forward to greeting him in the mornings, and his calm demeanor helps ease anxieties, promote positive behavior, and create a welcoming atmosphere throughout the building.\r\nIngram is especially impactful in supporting students' social-emotional well-being. Whether he is sitting with a child who needs a quiet moment, encouraging reluctant readers to share a story aloud, or joining students at recess, he helps build confidence and reduce stress. Teachers have noticed that students are more motivated, engaged, and eager to participate when Ingram is involved.\r\nBeyond the classroom, Ingram has also touched the wider community. Families enjoy seeing the ways he supports their children, and visitors to the school often remark on the positive energy he brings. Ingram has helped strengthen the connection between school and home by fostering a sense of pride and excitement in the community.\r\nThrough his daily interactions, Ingram has become more than just a facility dog. He is a trusted friend, a source of encouragement, and a reminder of the importance of kindness and care. His impact will continue to grow, leaving a lasting mark on both the school and the community.","fullyFundedDate":1759249000906,"projectUrl":"project/ingram-the-best-facility-dog/9720831/","projectTitle":"Ingram, the Best Facility Dog","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Turberville","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8696074_orig.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1663085837472","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8696074"},{"teacherId":8696074,"projectId":9179185,"letterContent":"On behalf of all the students and staff at FES, we want to extend our deepest thanks for your generous donation to support the care of our beloved facility dog, Ingram. Your kindness and thoughtfulness mean more than words can fully express, and your support has made a truly meaningful difference in our school community.\r\n\r\nIngram is such a special part of our school. Every day, he brings comfort, joy, and emotional support to our students and staff alike. Whether it's greeting children in the morning with a wagging tail, offering a calming presence during a tough moment, or simply lying quietly during reading time, Ingram's role at FES goes far beyond being a pet—he is a trusted friend, a gentle guide, and a source of emotional strength for many of our students.\r\n\r\nYour donation helps us provide Ingram with the daily essentials he needs to stay healthy and happy. From high-quality food that keeps him energized, and grooming supplies that help him stay clean and comfortable—your support helps us ensure that Ingram receives the same love and care he so generously gives to us. Your contribution allows us to maintain his well-being with regular grooming, proper nutrition, and comfort items that make his days easier as he works alongside students.\r\n\r\nMany of our students face challenges that go far beyond academics. For some, school is a place of safety and routine amid a world that may feel unpredictable or overwhelming. Ingram helps create a space where they feel seen, heard, and valued. He offers nonjudgmental support to children who may struggle with anxiety, emotional regulation, or trauma, and he encourages empathy, responsibility, and connection in every interaction.\r\n\r\nOne of the most incredible parts of having Ingram at FES is watching the emotional growth that occurs in students when they spend time with him. We've seen students who were once shy and withdrawn open up and engage in conversation simply because Ingram was there. Others have learned how to express themselves more clearly or recognize their feelings in real time—all because of the quiet, steady support that Ingram provides. He teaches life lessons that go far beyond the classroom: compassion, self-awareness, and the importance of caring for others.\r\n\r\nThanks to your donation, Ingram can continue to do this important work in comfort and good health. You've played a part in helping our students feel loved, supported, and emotionally safe—and that impact will stay with them far beyond the school year.\r\n\r\nWe are truly grateful for your generosity and support. Ingram may not be able to write a thank-you note himself, but we know if he could, it would include a wagging tail, a gentle nudge, and lots of grateful licks.","fullyFundedDate":1744562900703,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-facility-dog-ingram-for-stude/9179185/","projectTitle":"Supporting Facility Dog Ingram for Student Well-Being and Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Turberville","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8696074_orig.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1663085837472","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8696074"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_14123","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":384,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":73,"percentWhite":12,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":75.9,"schoolId":14123,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Flowers Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Flowers Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alabama/montgomery-public-schools/flowers-elementary-school/14123"}
