We are truly grateful for your kindness and support. Your gift made a big difference in our learning environment, and my students were absolutely thrilled when the new supplies arrived.\r\n\r\nWhen the boxes came, the students could hardly wait to see what was inside. Their eyes lit up when they saw the colorful paintbrushes and the sturdy bins. They immediately began imagining all the wonderful art projects they could create. We recently started a unit where students illustrate their own stories, and now they'll be able to paint beautiful pictures to go along with their writing. Having high-quality brushes gives them the confidence to be creative, and it helps them take pride in their work.\r\n\r\nThe storage bins were also a huge help! In a second-grade classroom, organization is key. We have so many materials from books and papers to markers and manipulatives and keeping everything neat helps the students feel calm and focused. Now that we have bins to keep our supplies sorted, it's easier for the children to find what they need and take responsibility for putting things back in the right place. This not only keeps our classroom tidy but also builds independence and life skills.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting parts of your donation was the ink for our printer. It may seem like a small thing, but it makes a world of difference in our room. With the printer ink, we can now print colorful materials like center activities, student worksheets, vocabulary cards, and even certificates to celebrate student progress. The students love seeing their names and their work printed out it makes them feel special and proud. It also helps me create engaging, hands-on lessons that support all kinds of learners.\r\n\r\nEvery item you provided helps support a joyful, creative, and productive learning space. I work hard every day to make sure my students feel safe, supported, and inspired to learn. Your donation has made that job easier and even more rewarding. Knowing that someone out there cares about our classroom means so much to me and to the children.\r\n\r\nFrom all of us in second grade, thank you again for your kindness and generosity. You have helped bring smiles to many little faces and made a real impact on our learning this year. We are so lucky to have people like you cheering us on.","fullyFundedDate":1726273137055,"projectUrl":"project/organization-is-key/8326257/","projectTitle":"Organization is Key!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ponesse","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5896216_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1591335496142","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5896216"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_60149","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":384,"numTeachers":32,"percentFrplEligible":35,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":45,"percentIndigenous":4,"percentLatinx":37,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":33.4,"schoolId":60149,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Pima Traditional School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Pima Traditional School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/scottsdale-unified-school-district/pima-elementary-school/60149"}
