I am writing with a heart full of gratitude to express my sincerest things for your generous contributions to my classroom project because of your kindness, our classroom has been transformed into a vibrant and comfortable learning environment, where my students can thrive.\r\n\r\nThe items you helped fund – including floor seating, floor pillows, books, and essential supplies – have already made a tremendous difference in the way my students learn and engage. These additions have created a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that encourages collaboration, creativity, and focus. \r\n\r\nThe new books have also been a hit! My students faces light up every time I introduce a new story. Many of them have already begun recommending books to one another, building a culture of reading, that I've always hoped for in our classroom. These books represent more than just entertainment; they are windows into diverse experiences, cultures, and perspectives. They spark curiosity and foster empathy, values that are critical in our increasingly interconnected world. \r\n\r\nYour contributions are more than just material donations. They are an investment in the future of my students. You've given them a space where they feel valued, supported, and excited to learn. For many of my students, school is a place where they feel most secure and empowered, and the enhancement to bring our class environment have amplified that sense of belonging.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of myself, my students, and their families, thank you for believing in us and supporting our journey. Your generosity serves as a reminder that there are people in this world who care deeply about education and the potential of every child. It is because of people like you that teachers like me can dream bigger and do more for the young minds in our care.\r\n\r\nThank you for being a part of our story.","fullyFundedDate":1727462842623,"projectUrl":"project/first-year-teacher/8564937/","projectTitle":"First Year Teacher","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Oakes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9629939"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_61626","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1572,"numTeachers":66,"percentFrplEligible":10,"percentAsian":28,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":50,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":10,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"23.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":85.7,"schoolId":61626,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Stargate School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Stargate School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/adams-12-five-star-schools/stargate-school/61626"}
