From the moment the boxes arrived in my classroom, the excitement was contagious. Students couldn't wait to find out what was inside, and seeing the smiles, curiosity, and sense of accomplishment on their faces as they built and launched their own rockets was truly priceless.\r\n\r\nMany of our students come from families where opportunities like this simply aren't possible because of the cost of materials. Thanks to your generosity and support, we were able to provide an unforgettable hands-on STEM experience that some of these students may never have had otherwise. It was rewarding not only to inspire our students but also to share the experience with several teachers, who enjoyed learning something new right alongside them.\r\n\r\nI'm also thrilled to report that every single rocket launched successfully from the pad, and every rocket was recovered after its flight. The project exceeded our expectations and created memories and learning experiences that our students will carry with them for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1770999626946,"projectUrl":"project/mission-lift-off/9881890/","projectTitle":"Mission: Lift-Off!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hillebrandt","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5275095"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_26605","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":262,"numTeachers":24,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":33,"percentWhite":33,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":21,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":11,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":73.3,"schoolId":26605,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Fox Creek Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Fox Creek Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/mclean-co-unit-district-5/fox-creek-elementary-school/26605"}
