Because of your generosity, my fourth-grade students were able to experience science in a hands-on, exciting way that truly sparked their curiosity and love for learning. The solar system kits, STEM projects, microscope, slides, and science books transformed our classroom into a place of discovery. One of my favorite moments was watching my students' faces light up when they first saw the STEM kits. They were in awe and couldn't wait to put them together. Another unforgettable experience was taking them outside to collect samples to examine under the microscope. They were so excited to be \"little scientists,\" carefully collecting materials and eagerly observing them back in the classroom. These moments helped science feel real, meaningful, and fun. Your support gave my students confidence, joy, and unforgettable learning experiences. Thank you for investing in their curiosity and helping them see themselves as scientists.","fullyFundedDate":1757565639717,"projectUrl":"project/science-fair-prep/9549171/","projectTitle":"Science Fair Prep","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kierra","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10160057"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_70026","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":352,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":72,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":16,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":23,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"13.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":46.8,"schoolId":70026,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Connections Public Charter School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Connections Public Charter School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/hawaii/hawaii-school-district/connections-public-charter-school/70026"}
