We were able to fill the shelves with necessities and items that will bring a smile to the faces of our students. This initiative was sparked by the realization that food drives wouldn't scratch the surface of our families' needs this year. With many families facing uncertainty around their food budgets, we are glad to provide some support in keeping food on their tables. This food pantry will strengthen our partnership with our families and our commitment to providing their students with everything they need to feel seen and successful. \r\n\r\nThank you for being a part of our community!","fullyFundedDate":1762526614640,"projectUrl":"project/full-bellies-growing-brains/9862686/","projectTitle":"Full Bellies, Growing Brains","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Crews","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7808680_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758154273015","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7808680"},{"teacherId":7808680,"projectId":9836837,"letterContent":"Thank you for your donation to this project.

They were excited to see all the new treats and toys being added to celebrate their hard work. Today, students are more motivated to participate in learning, focus on their work and stay true to our school rules.

They learned how to develop a product from concept to creation, exploring the steps needed to bring their vision to life. Upon seeing the materials, the students were so excited and ready to jump into making their product. They created different types of slime, lava lamps, stress balls, necklaces, and press-on nails for their peers. \r\n\r\nStudents gained real-world skills in selling, from advertising and presenting their product to engaging with customers. Along the way, they were introduced to key money concepts, including understanding costs, setting prices, and earning profit. Through this process, students built confidence, creativity, problem-solving skills, and an early appreciation for financial responsibility—skills they can carry into future academic and life experiences.\r\n\r\nMy next step for this project is to provide a more in-depth look into becoming an entrepreneur with a longer program runtime to incorporate more lessons on the process, including marketing and financial lessons. I am also looking to add more staff to support and 5 more students to the club. \r\n\r\nYour support has made this project such a success and I'm so excited to lead it again this school year!","fullyFundedDate":1746712498873,"projectUrl":"project/turn-ideas-into-impact-support-young-pr/9321397/","projectTitle":"Turn Ideas Into Impact: Support Young Product Creators","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nelson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7851111_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1622734853260","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7851111"},{"teacherId":7851111,"projectId":6835307,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations! Upon receiving all of the items, I was able to create a summer fun treat bag for each one of my students, in addition to practice work, to take home for their summer break. The students were so excited upon seeing the items when they showed up for the last few days of school. We talked about how they would use some of the items, like their sunglasses when going to the beach, or the bubbles when going to the park with their families. They performed so well on their end-of-the-year assessments that they felt appreciated upon receiving the gift items. To see each of their smiles brought joy to me! The next steps for those students would be relaxing for the summer and preparing for the second grade.","fullyFundedDate":1670591575494,"projectUrl":"project/we-worked-hard-now-time-for-our-reward/6835307/","projectTitle":"We Worked Hard, Now Time For Our Reward","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nelson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7851111_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1622734853260","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7851111"},{"teacherId":8657332,"projectId":6770696,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, my students have been learning, exploring, and growing in ways that simply weren't possible before. The excitement was immediate—when the materials first arrived, my classroom buzzed with curiosity and joy. Students eagerly unpacked the boxes, their eyes wide with wonder as they realized these new resources were just for them. One student even said, \"This feels like Christmas but at school!\"\r\n\r\nWe've already put these materials to great use. During a recent project, students used the new tools to collaborate in small groups and build models to demonstrate their understanding of ecosystems. Not only did they grasp the content more deeply, but they also developed important communication and problem-solving skills. Watching them take ownership of their learning with confidence and creativity has been the most rewarding part of this experience.","fullyFundedDate":1663201327992,"projectUrl":"project/emotion-regulation-teacher-management/6770696/","projectTitle":"Emotion Regulation & Teacher Management","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Martinez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8657332_orig.jpg?crop=1536,1536,x0,y107&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724616809148","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8657332"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_99066","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":621,"numTeachers":34,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":95,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"18.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":32.2,"schoolId":99066,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about KIPP District of Columbia - Promise Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"KIPP District of Columbia - Promise Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/district-of-columbia/kipp-dc-public-schools/kipp-dc-promise-academy/99066"}
