Your gift may seem like a simple piece of equipment, but it has already made a powerful difference in the daily lives of our students. Because of you, I am able to create durable visual supports, feeling charts, coping strategy cards, behavior tools, and social-emotional learning resources that can be used again and again. In a building full of busy hands and growing minds, having materials that last truly matters.\r\nYour donation directly supports our youngest learners as they build confidence, manage big emotions, and develop healthy relationships. Laminated visuals allow students to interact hands-on during counseling lessons, small groups, and individual sessions. It also allows me to send home sturdy resources for families, strengthening the connection between school and home. For many of our students, these tools become daily reminders that they are supported, capable, and valued.\r\nPlease know that your generosity extends far beyond supplies—it strengthens our entire school community. You have invested in children's emotional well-being, academic growth, and long-term success. On behalf of our students and families, thank you for believing in the importance of school counseling and for helping us create resources that will impact students for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1762267676013,"projectUrl":"project/preserving-student-growth-one-page-at-a/9738950/","projectTitle":"Preserving Student Growth One Page at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lampley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9711912"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_5628","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":171,"numTeachers":10,"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 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"17.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":69.2,"schoolId":5628,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Cullen Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Cullen Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/chicago-public-school-district-299/cullen-elementary-school/5628"}
