Your gift has immediately transformed our classroom, offering a dedicated and comfortable space for every child to practice literacy. Most importantly, these new portable writing desks provide each student with an ergonomically sound writing area. This is a fundamental change, as it helps us ensure proper writing placement and posture from the very start, setting our students up for healthier, more effective learning as they develop these critical fine motor skills.\r\n\r\nIt has been truly inspiring to observe the children engaging with their new tools. Our students are already enjoying the writing desks tremendously as they learn how to form letters, draw, and express themselves on paper. Having a stable, comfortable surface, paired with fresh paper and quality pencils, has made the act of learning to write a more focused and exciting experience. We cannot overstate the impact of your generosity; these resources are an investment in their foundational education and future success. On behalf of the students, staff, and the entire school community, we are all extremely grateful for your steadfast support.","fullyFundedDate":1754273955230,"projectUrl":"project/strong-independent-writers/9487268/","projectTitle":"Strong Independent Writers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rivera","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2969215_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1567740383457","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2969215"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_43259","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":346,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":23,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":72,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":62.2,"schoolId":43259,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Benjamin Franklin Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Benjamin Franklin Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/pueblo-school-district-60/benjamin-franklin-elementary-school/43259"}
