Your kindness gave my students the opportunity to participate in meaningful, hands-on learning experiences that connected literacy, creativity, science, and community service. Each week, students eagerly explored a new project that encouraged them to learn while creating something special to share with others.\r\n\r\nThroughout our project, students read books about gardening, seeds, flowers, and nature while building their understanding of how plants grow and why caring for living things is important. They created beautiful watercolor bouquets using coffee filters and watercolor paints, designed colorful dragonflies with pipe cleaners and beads, and planted flowers that they proudly delivered to a local nursing home to brighten residents' days. These experiences helped students develop creativity, teamwork, and compassion while showing them that even small acts of kindness can make a meaningful difference. Thank you for investing in our students and making these memorable learning opportunities possible. Your generosity inspired curiosity, encouraged giving, and created lasting memories that our classroom will cherish for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1775595187709,"projectUrl":"project/little-hands-big-impact-growing-togeth/10182233/","projectTitle":"Little Hands, Big Impact: Growing Together Through Service","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Emma Fehr","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10267062_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1775509666524","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10267062"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_56025","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":222,"numTeachers":12,"percentFrplEligible":38,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":91,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"5 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"18.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":78.9,"schoolId":56025,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about West Bend Mallard High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"West Bend Mallard High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/iowa/west-bend-mallard-community-school-district/west-bend-mallard-high-school/56025"}
