Your support gave my students the right tools to access the curriculum.\r\nYou have made a tremendous impact on our kiddos!\r\n\r\n\tThe snacks have been a game changer; because of logistical struggles and transportation issues, many of our students miss school breakfast. Now, because of your generous donations, I can ensure that no student is trying to learn on an empty stomach. When physical needs are met, their ability to focus and engage skyrockets and YOU made that happen!\r\n\r\n The sensory fidget strings have become essential tools for my students with autism, learning struggles, and adhd. It provides them with quiet regulation they need to stay calm and present during lessons. Furthermore, the sight word games and calculators have bridged a gap in our daily work. Instead of being frustrated by processing deficits, my students now have the scaffolds they need to feel confident in their reading and math abilities. \r\n\r\n Even the basic supplies of pencils and pens have sent a powerful message to my students that they are seen and their education is worth investing in. You haven't just provided supplies, you have provided a SAFE, EQUITABLE, AND SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT where my students feel VALUED!\r\n\r\n Thank you for finding it in your hearts to support our classroom. You have truly made learning accessible for these amazing children.","fullyFundedDate":1772377275313,"projectUrl":"project/make-learning-accessible/10122718/","projectTitle":"Make Learning Accessible!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Akbar","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6236126_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1550985427617","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6236126"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_33952","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":541,"numTeachers":24,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":98,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"22.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.5,"schoolId":33952,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Thurgood Marshall Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Thurgood Marshall Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/lynwood-unified-school-district/thurgood-marshall-elementary-school/33952"}
