Your support has made a wonderful difference in our little learners' lives.\r\nSince receiving the supplies, our classroom garden has become a place of excitement, curiosity, and hands-on learning. The children eagerly put on their gloves, pick up their tools, and work together to plant seeds, water our growing plants, and watch for new sprouts each day. It has been incredible to see their sense of responsibility bloom right alongside our garden.\r\nYour gift has helped our students learn about nature, science, teamwork, and patience in a meaningful and joyful way. Many of our students had never planted anything before, and now they proudly talk about \"their\" plants and what they need to grow. These experiences have sparked conversations, new vocabulary, and—most importantly—confidence.\r\nAs we look ahead, the children are already excited for our big springtime planting project. We plan to plant a variety of flowers and vegetables, and each child will choose a plant to care for throughout the season. The students are eager to apply what they've learned and watch our garden transform as the weather warms.\r\nThank you for giving our class the opportunity to learn, explore, and grow. Your kindness has truly made an impact, and we are grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1758832509452,"projectUrl":"project/starting-our-kinder-garden/9566083/","projectTitle":"Starting Our Kinder- Garden!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Smith","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1514764"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_5239","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":464,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":55,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":40,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":37,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"21.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":88.8,"schoolId":5239,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Monte Vista Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Monte Vista Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/cotati-rohnert-park-unified-school-district/monte-vista-elementary-school/5239"}
