Because of you, our youngest learners, ages 3–6, now have engaging and meaningful tools to help them grow their language and communication skills. The sensory table has been a huge hit — our students are exploring textures, following directions, and practicing new words while scooping, pouring, and playing together. It's been a wonderful way to encourage both speech and social skills through hands-on learning.\r\nThe books you provided have quickly become a favorite part of our sessions. We are using them to build vocabulary, answer questions, and practice storytelling. Our new crayons, interactive toys, and binders are helping us create fun activities and individualized supports to meet each child's needs. These materials have brought so much excitement and engagement into our lessons, and most importantly, they are helping our students find their voices.\r\nWe are so grateful for your kindness and belief in our little learners. Your generosity is making a lasting impact on their communication and confidence every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1746786049296,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-articulate-a-brighter-future/9212529/","projectTitle":"Help Us ‘Articulate’ a Brighter Future!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Johnson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9033282_orig.png?crop=1332,1332,x0,y155&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1683643330771","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9033282"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_28714","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":410,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":67,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":79,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 1","studentTeacherRatio":"15.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":82.7,"schoolId":28714,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about North Side Primary Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"North Side Primary Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/herrin-community-school-district-4/north-side-primary-center/28714"}
