Your support has made a meaningful impact in our classroom and in the daily learning experiences of our young students.\r\n\r\nThe STEM bins are used regularly by our kindergarten and first grade students to explore, build, problem-solve, and collaborate. Through hands-on activities, students are developing critical thinking, creativity, and teamwork skills while engaging in joyful, purposeful learning. These materials have helped spark curiosity and confidence as students investigate real-world concepts in a developmentally appropriate way.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our students are not only learning foundational STEM skills, but they are also learning to persevere, ask questions, and work together—skills that will support them far beyond the classroom. The excitement and engagement we see during STEM time is a direct reflection of your kindness and commitment to education.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and for helping me create meaningful, hands-on learning opportunities. I am grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1761774276983,"projectUrl":"project/stem-bins/9448263/","projectTitle":"STEM Bins","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gomez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3823724_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1654658639140","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3823724"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_28626","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":577,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":81,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":89,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"19.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":0.0,"schoolId":28626,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about New Temple Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"New Temple Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/valle-lindo-elementary-school-district/new-temple-elementary-school/28626"}
