Your generosity has provided more than just LEGO sets. You have given my students the opportunity to be creative, think critically, work together, and, most importantly, believe in what they are capable of accomplishing.\r\n\r\nAs a sixth-grade teacher, one of my greatest joys is watching my students discover talents and abilities they didn't even know they had. These LEGO sets are helping create a space where students can explore their imaginations, solve problems, and learn that making mistakes is simply part of growing. Whether they are working together to build something challenging or proudly showing off something they created on their own, every experience is helping them develop confidence, patience, and perseverance.\r\n\r\nWhat makes this project especially meaningful to me is knowing that not every child has access to opportunities like these outside of school. For some students, having the freedom to build, create, and explore with these materials is an experience they might not otherwise have. Every child deserves the chance to feel successful, to be proud of something they have accomplished, and to know that someone believes in their potential.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, I hope to continue incorporating these materials into hands-on STEAM challenges that encourage teamwork, leadership, and creative thinking. My goal has always been to help my students become not only stronger learners but also confident, compassionate individuals who aren't afraid to try something new.\r\n\r\nYou may see LEGO sets, but I see future engineers, architects, inventors, leaders, and dreamers. More importantly, I see children learning that their ideas matter and that they are capable of accomplishing incredible things.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students, for supporting my classroom, and for reminding these children that there are people beyond our school walls who care about their success. Your kindness is making a difference that reaches far beyond this school year, and for that, I am truly grateful. ❤️","fullyFundedDate":1793195232588,"projectUrl":"project/build-it-keep-it-lego-creations-that-l/10662499/","projectTitle":"Build It, Keep It: LEGO Creations That Last","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Vazquez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9111557"},{"teacherId":9111557,"projectId":10293325,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our Family Night project! Our students were excited when they saw the new materials and cannot wait to use them with their families. These resources will help us create a fun and welcoming evening where students, families, and staff can participate in activities, spend quality time together, and strengthen our school community.\r\n\r\nOur Family Night was originally scheduled for just before the three-day weekend, but enrollment was lower than expected. We decided to postpone the event until September 18 to allow more families the opportunity to register, attend, and enjoy the activities together.\r\n\r\nWe are excited to put your generous donations to use during this special evening.

Each student was able to take their set home, giving them the opportunity to continue exploring and building beyond the classroom. It was important to us that they not only received something special for the holidays, but also a resource that supports creativity and STEM learning at home.\r\n\r\nWhen they first received the gifts, their excitement and gratitude were immediate. The smiles said it all. For many, having something of their own to take home and build with meant so much.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we are encouraging students to bring in pictures or share about what they create at home. This allows them to connect their independent exploration to our classroom learning while continuing to strengthen problem-solving and critical thinking skills. We are so thankful for the generosity that made this possible.","fullyFundedDate":1764872971357,"projectUrl":"project/mckinney-vento-christmas/9923617/","projectTitle":"McKinney-Vento Christmas","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Longino","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10361296"},{"teacherId":10417979,"projectId":10057620,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, we are using the new clothing to support students and families who may come to school without proper attire. One special moment was being able to quietly provide a student with clean, comfortable clothes after they had an accident at school — it helped them feel confident, safe, and ready to return to learning.\r\n\r\nStudents were excited to know that our classroom now has resources available to help them when they need it. It created a sense of comfort and showed them that their school is a place where they are cared and loved for.\r\n\r\nWith these supports in place, students can focus more fully on their learning and social-emotional growth.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your generosity, and kindness.","fullyFundedDate":1769887520342,"projectUrl":"project/keeping-our-kids-warm-clean-and-ready/10057620/","projectTitle":"Keeping Our Kids Warm, Clean, and Ready to Learn","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Miller","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10417979"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_52965","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":393,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":83,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":82,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"1 - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"17.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":57.1,"schoolId":52965,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Oak Grove Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Oak Grove Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/burton-school-district/oak-grove-elementary-school/52965"}
