Your funding for HP LaserJet 410A ink cartridges made it possible for me to print and assemble dozens of colorful, engaging materials from our Unique Learning System program.\r\nIn my K–5 self-contained special education classroom in Cedar Lake, Indiana, every student learns differently. Having access to high-quality printed visuals, leveled books, and individualized supports allows each child to engage with lessons at their own level. With the new ink, I've been able to create vibrant reading materials, visual schedules, communication supports, and behavior tools that meet the diverse needs of my students.\r\nThe impact has been immediate and visible. My students are more attentive, confident, and independent during lessons. They're interacting with the curriculum in ways that were not possible before—pointing to pictures, matching words, following step-by-step visuals, and reading their leveled books with pride. These printed resources help them make real-world connections and build critical communication and literacy skills every single day.\r\nYour generosity has truly made a difference in our classroom. Because of you, my students have the tools they need to learn, grow, and shine. Thank you for believing in inclusive education and supporting a classroom where every child can succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1746508101286,"projectUrl":"project/bringing-learning-to-life-with-printed-b/9233263/","projectTitle":"Bringing Learning to Life With Printed Books and Visuals","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dills","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9991027_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753110671575","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9991027"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_20374","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":466,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":30,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":85,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":83.3,"schoolId":20374,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Douglas MacArthur Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Douglas MacArthur Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/indiana/crown-point-community-school-corporation/douglas-macarthur-elementary-school/20374"}
