Because of your kindness, my first graders now have comfortable seat cushions that help them stay focused during learning time, as well as engaging new books that spark their curiosity and love for reading.\r\n\r\nYour support means more than you know. The cushions are already making a huge difference—my students are able to sit comfortably during small-group instruction, independent reading, and floor activities. The new books have quickly become class favorites, and my students are excited to explore them every day.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has created a brighter, more comfortable, and more joyful learning environment for my first grade class. Thank you for believing in my students and investing in their growth. We are truly grateful for you.","fullyFundedDate":1755865008204,"projectUrl":"project/help-little-minds-soar-one-book-at-a/9493842/","projectTitle":"\"Help Little Minds Soar — One Book at a Time!\"","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Newkirk","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9969790"},{"teacherId":8648953,"projectId":9207642,"letterContent":"It is with profound gratitude and immense appreciation that I write to thank you for your incredibly thoughtful donation of the book, Mae Among the Stars, to our classroom library. Your generosity has provided our students with a truly inspiring and invaluable resource that will enrich their learning journey for years to come.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, books are not just pages bound together; they are windows to new worlds, mirrors reflecting our own experiences, and powerful tools that ignite curiosity and imagination. Mae Among the Stars is a particularly special addition. This beautifully illustrated story of Mae C. Jemison, the first African American woman to travel to space, offers so much more than just a narrative. It is a beacon of inspiration, demonstrating the power of dreams, perseverance, and the pursuit of knowledge.\r\n\r\nThis book will serve as a cornerstone in our discussions about science, space exploration, and the importance of believing in oneself, even when faced with challenges. It will undoubtedly spark countless conversations about STEM careers and encourage our young learners, especially our girls and students of color, to envision themselves achieving extraordinary things. Seeing Mae's journey unfold will help them understand that their aspirations are valid and attainable, fostering a crucial sense of possibility and self-belief.\r\n\r\nYour support directly enhances our ability to provide a rich and diverse learning environment. Knowing that we have such a high-quality, impactful book available for read-alouds, independent exploration, and cross-curricular connections alleviates the pressure of limited classroom budgets and allows us to focus on what truly matters: inspiring our students.\r\n\r\nThank you, once again, for your remarkable generosity and for being a champion of literacy and dreams. Your contribution makes a tangible difference in the daily lives of our students and helps us cultivate a classroom where every child feels empowered to reach for the stars.","fullyFundedDate":1746729856011,"projectUrl":"project/mae-among-the-stars/9207642/","projectTitle":"Mae Among the Stars!","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Cabrala Reddick","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8648953_orig.jpg?crop=756,756,x127,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1661312640235","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8648953"},{"teacherId":8648953,"projectId":9178532,"letterContent":"As an educator, I am constantly inspired by the generosity of individuals and organizations who choose to invest in the future of our students. It is with immense gratitude that I write to thank you for your incredibly thoughtful donation of copy paper to our classroom.\r\n\r\nIn the bustling environment of a classroom, copy paper is far more than just a stack of sheets; it is a fundamental tool that underpins countless learning experiences every single day. From the moment students walk through the door, paper is essential for everything we do. It's where our young learners practice their handwriting, solve complex math problems, sketch out their artistic visions, and draft their first essays. It's used for daily warm-ups, exit tickets that gauge understanding, and collaborative group projects where ideas take tangible form.\r\n\r\nYour donation directly translates into opportunities for hands-on learning, allowing me to provide each student with the resources they need without hesitation. It means I can print out customized worksheets to cater to diverse learning styles, create engaging activity packets, and prepare important notices for parents. It ensures that no student is ever without the means to participate fully in a lesson because of a lack of basic supplies.\r\n\r\nFor a teacher, knowing that such a vital resource is readily available alleviates a significant burden. It allows me to focus my energy and creativity entirely on instruction, rather than worrying about stretching a limited supply budget or asking families to contribute more. Your support empowers me to design and implement dynamic lessons that truly engage our students and foster a love for learning.\r\n\r\nThank you, once again, for your remarkable generosity and for being a true partner in education. Your contribution makes a tangible difference in the daily lives of our students and helps us cultivate a vibrant and productive learning environment. We are truly fortunate to have your support.","fullyFundedDate":1746535727615,"projectUrl":"project/paper-please/9178532/","projectTitle":"Paper Please!","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Cabrala Reddick","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8648953_orig.jpg?crop=756,756,x127,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1661312640235","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8648953"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_68595","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":602,"numTeachers":48,"percentFrplEligible":94,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":62,"percentWhite":22,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":61.9,"schoolId":68595,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mill Creek Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mill Creek Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/bulloch-county-school-district/mill-creek-elementary-school/68595"}
