My students are over-the-moon excited about the support you have given in setting systems and processes in place for our new school. You have made accessing math materials easier, allowed students to find their intervention folders with ease, and have provided much-needed pencils, magnets for magnet boards, markers for student work, and more. \r\n\r\nMy students have been in awe - thrilled for the new school, but even more excited to be given the responsibility of using materials meant just for them. They are eager to demonstrate integrity and responsibility with ease and appreciate every chance and opportunity they have been awarded. They absolutely adore the finger lights, allowing for easy access for students to fluently read texts at their level, and have been eager for the novel use of the lights. You can feel their energy in the halls of the school - excitement overload!\r\n\r\nNext, these tools will be used in everyday lessons for months to come. Students will independently find the math materials for their intervention lessons. Laminating sheets will support students with reading and math graphic organizers to support their skill development, and students will be able to own resposibility for their learning, knowing where to place their new pencils, markers, folders, and more in the paper organizer provided by each of you. \r\n\r\nThank you for all you did to support my students as they catch up to their peers in reading and math. Your support has done more to benefit society than you know.","fullyFundedDate":1779148241819,"projectUrl":"project/setting-efficient-systems-in-our-new-bui/10295870/","projectTitle":"Setting Efficient Systems in Our New Building!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ballassi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4971439_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751045017544","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-ballassi"},{"teacherId":4971439,"projectId":9778472,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to my literacy project!

They also expressed excitement over the durable and easy-to-use folder that will house their anchor charts, whiteboard markers, and learning targets for their literacy goals. \r\n\r\nSeveral students outside of the selected group have also expressed interest in participating in our new reading program.

This gift has immediately strengthened my ability to create materials that are relevant, useful, and accessible for the students I serve. At John B. Stanton Elementary, I work with multilingual learners in Kindergarten and 1st grade—children who are just beginning their educational journeys. Having this technology allows me to design lessons that are modern, visually rich, and tailored to their specific language needs. These resources help my youngest learners feel confident and included as they develop English skills alongside their peers.\r\n\r\nThe impact extends far beyond the elementary classroom. In the evenings, I also teach two large groups of adults at Norwich Adult Education who are working tirelessly to improve their English in order to better support their families and succeed in our community. With this computer, I can now create updated, culturally relevant, and practical learning materials that respond to their real-life goals—whether it's preparing for a job interview, understanding healthcare documents, or communicating with their children's schools.\r\n\r\nYour donation has given me the tools to serve students of all ages with lessons that are current, engaging, and meaningful. This computer is more than just a piece of equipment—it is a bridge connecting learners to opportunities, confidence, and brighter futures. Thank you for believing in the power of education and for making such a lasting impact in the lives of my students.","fullyFundedDate":1746786418600,"projectUrl":"project/a-fighting-chance-creating-equitable-t/9262541/","projectTitle":"A Fighting Chance: Creating Equitable, Tech-Driven Lessons for Multilingual Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Martinez Sanchez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10002686_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745089391351","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10002686"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_44177","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":370,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":19,"percentWhite":23,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":41,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":9,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":84.6,"schoolId":44177,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about John B Stanton Network Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"John B Stanton Network Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/connecticut/norwich-public-schools/john-b-stanton-elementary-school/44177"}
