Thanks to you, our school's Halloween trick-or-treating event was a huge success! Our students had an amazing time dressing up in their costumes, visiting classrooms, and filling their candy bags with treats. The smiles and excitement on their faces were priceless! Even more exciting, our class collected the most candy in the entire school and won a pizza party! My students were absolutely thrilled, and I couldn't have been prouder. What started as a worry about not having enough candy turned into an unforgettable celebration, all because of your kindness.\r\n\r\nYour donations have also made such a difference in our everyday learning. When the snacks first arrived, my students were so excited to see our classroom snack supply replenished! We had been down to our last box, so your support came at the perfect time. One of my favorite things is seeing my students happily enjoying a snack while watching our science videos or working on their research projects. It's amazing how something as simple as a little snack can make learning feel even more enjoyable. With full stomachs and curious minds, my students are able to focus on discovering new things, asking questions, and sharing what they've learned.\r\n\r\nAs we continue our science lessons and research projects, these snacks will help keep my students energized, engaged, and excited about learning. Your generosity has given them more than just food and candy. You've helped create joyful childhood memories, a sense of community, and a classroom where students feel cared for.\r\n\r\nThank you for making our Halloween celebration so special and for continuing to support my students long after the costumes have been put away. Your kindness has truly made a difference, and we are so grateful!","fullyFundedDate":1792626882664,"projectUrl":"project/fuel-their-day-sweeten-their-night/10696256/","projectTitle":"Fuel Their Day, Sweeten Their Night","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Jáquez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9245872_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1790368882884","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9245872"},{"teacherId":9641002,"projectId":10547087,"letterContent":"Central's Taekwondo After-School Program is providing students with a new opportunity to stay active while developing important social-emotional skills. \r\nThrough Taekwondo, students are building self-confidence, discipline, focus, respect, and self-control, while also improving their strength, balance, coordination, and flexibility. \r\nThe program also responds directly to student voice, as Taekwondo was identified as an activity students wanted to experience.\r\nBy offering programs based on students' interests, Central is strengthening student engagement, creating a greater sense of belonging, and expanding meaningful learning opportunities beyond the regular school day.","fullyFundedDate":1788990673332,"projectUrl":"project/taekwondo-after-school-program/10547087/","projectTitle":"Taekwondo After School Program","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Iriarte","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9641002"},{"teacherId":9245872,"projectId":10130182,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our project, \"Fuel for the Finish: Help Us End the Year Strong!\" Your generous donations provided snacks that helped my students feel energized, cared for, and ready to learn.

Instead of focusing on an empty stomach, they were able to participate in lessons and complete their work with renewed energy.\r\n\r\nMy students were incredibly excited and grateful when they saw the snacks! These donations supported more than their physical needs—they also showed my students that people in their community believe in them and care about their success.

Each day, students know that if they are feeling hungry, they can grab a small snack so they can refocus and continue learning. Recently during our reading and writing block, a few students who usually struggle to stay focused were able to quietly grab a snack and return to their work. Instead of feeling distracted or tired, they were able to stay engaged in our lesson and participate in our discussions. Something as simple as a snack has helped create a calm and supportive learning environment where students can focus on doing their best.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the snacks arrive in our classroom, they were so excited and incredibly grateful. Many of them immediately said \"thank you\" and asked who helped provide them. It was a wonderful opportunity to talk with them about kindness and generosity and how people in our community care about their learning and well-being. My diverse group of dual language second graders works very hard every day, and it meant a lot for them to know that others believe in them and want to support their success.\r\n\r\nAs we continue through the school year, my students will keep using these snacks to stay energized during our learning blocks, especially while we work on reading comprehension, writing projects, and building our bilingual skills. Right now, we are focusing on strengthening our reading and writing in both languages, and having the energy to stay focused helps them fully participate in lessons and collaborative activities. Thanks to your generosity, my students can continue learning, growing, and finishing the school year strong.","fullyFundedDate":1766542224096,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-young-minds-one-snack-at-a-time/9967139/","projectTitle":"Fueling Young Minds, One Snack at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Jáquez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9245872_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1790368882884","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9245872"},{"teacherId":9292141,"projectId":9622755,"letterContent":"This project has had a positive impact on my second grade students by making learning more engaging and accessible. While many donors use technology at home, in our classroom it is used to support reading, writing, and language development in meaningful ways. The technology helps students practice skills at their own level, with visuals and audio support that are especially helpful for English learners.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is how interactive and fun the new product is. Lessons feel more hands-on, and students are eager to participate and stay focused. Several students who were once shy or struggled with confidence have shown noticeable growth, using the technology to practice independently and take more academic risks. Overall, this project has helped create a more inclusive and motivating learning environment for all of my second graders.","fullyFundedDate":1755570795413,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-young-minds-a-macbook-for-cr/9622755/","projectTitle":"Empowering Young Minds: A MacBook for Creative Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Alera Kim Tangian","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9292141_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1695821629644","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9292141"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_41210","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":419,"numTeachers":32,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":88,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"13.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":60.2,"schoolId":41210,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Central Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Central Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/adams-county-school-district-14/central-elementary-school/41210"}
