Your kindness has made a meaningful difference in our daily learning, and I am incredibly grateful for your support.\r\nBecause of you, my students are more engaged and excited about their learning. The supplies allow them to explore lessons in new ways while also giving me the flexibility to dive deeper into my teaching and better meet their needs. The clipboards with white boards have been especially impactful—they create so many opportunities for students to move around the room, collaborate, and complete projects in a way that feels fun and motivating to them.\r\nThe erasable writing board has also been a wonderful tool for improving writing skills. Students benefit greatly from watching me model writing step-by-step, and they are more confident practicing their own work knowing they can easily revise and improve.\r\nYour generosity truly supports both student learning and teacher instruction. Thank you for investing in our classroom and helping to create an environment where students can grow, explore, and succeed every day.","fullyFundedDate":1767027228446,"projectUrl":"project/please-help-support-my-students/9669550/","projectTitle":"Please Help Support My Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hall","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10235084"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_61388","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":526,"numTeachers":56,"percentFrplEligible":72,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":10,"percentWhite":52,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":26,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"9.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":71.1,"schoolId":61388,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Cotee River Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Cotee River Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/pasco-county-school-district/cotee-river-elementary-school/61388"}
