Your donations have already made a tremendous difference for my students. \r\n\r\nThe seat sacks give each child a personal space to stay organized, help them take responsibility for their materials, and allow students to stay focused and prepared for learning. The folders and pencils ensure that every child has the basic tools they need each day, removing barriers that can sometimes make learning stressful. The shelf has provided us with a much-needed place to store and display resources, keeping our classroom more functional and welcoming, where students can feel proud of their space. The student mailboxes have created a simple, but powerful system for communication and responsibility, allowing students to receive and manage their work independently. \r\n\r\nThe donations to my classroom have done more than provide supplies—they have fostered independence, responsibility, and pride in learning. Most importantly, they show my students that their education matters and that there are people rooting for their success. Because of your kindness, students can focus more on learning and less on what they might be missing. \r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in education. Your support has helped create a positive, organized, and equitable learning environment for all students.","fullyFundedDate":1746785973507,"projectUrl":"project/organizing-and-departmentalizing/9264406/","projectTitle":"Organizing and Departmentalizing","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bode","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9415994_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745282731220","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9415994"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_50012","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":526,"numTeachers":50,"percentFrplEligible":93,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":72,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":58.0,"schoolId":50012,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sugar Mill Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sugar Mill Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/volusia-county-schools/sugar-mill-elementary-school/50012"}
