Your support means more than you know. Our students have the very last lunch period of the day, and many of them come from a low-income community where access to healthy snacks can be limited. Some children arrive at school hungry, and without a nourishing snack to hold them over, it can be hard for them to stay focused and energized.\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, our classroom is now able to offer snacks that help fuel their bodies and their brains. You are helping our students learn, grow, and feel cared for during their school day. We are deeply grateful for the difference you are making in their lives.","fullyFundedDate":1756221554390,"projectUrl":"project/help-fuel-young-minds-with-healthy-snack/9532046/","projectTitle":"Help Fuel Young Minds With Healthy Snacks","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Felkins","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9243248"},{"teacherId":10016335,"projectId":9322015,"letterContent":"I am writing to extend my deepest and most heartfelt gratitude for your incredibly generous donation to my classroom. Your kindness and support have made a remarkable difference—not only in my teaching experience but, more importantly, in the lives of my students.\r\n\r\nThanks to your contribution, we were able to supply essential materials to many students who came to school with little or nothing in hand. Your donation helped provide them with the basic tools they need to learn. For some of my students, these simple supplies can feel like luxuries, and seeing the joy on their faces when they received them was truly moving. You've helped ensure that all of my students, regardless of their circumstances, can participate fully in our classroom activities and feel confident and included.\r\n\r\nBeyond the basic supplies, your generosity also supported our growing collection of STEM bins and activity kits. These bins have become a highlight of our classroom. With your help, we've been able to offer hands-on, engaging STEM activities that challenge students to think critically, collaborate with peers, and explore their creativity. Whether it's designing structures with building materials, solving problems through engineering challenges, or exploring scientific concepts through fun experiments, our STEM bins have ignited curiosity and enthusiasm in ways that traditional lessons often can't.\r\n\r\nYou have helped foster a classroom environment where learning is active, joyful, and meaningful. My students are not only building academic skills but also developing the confidence and resilience that will serve them throughout their lives. Every time a child lights up with excitement while working on a STEM activity or proudly shows off a finished project, please know that you played a direct role in making that moment happen.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, and on behalf of every single student who benefited from your kindness, thank you. Your generosity will be remembered for a long time, and its impact will be felt every single day in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1746571273170,"projectUrl":"project/funding-future-leaders/9322015/","projectTitle":"Funding Future Leaders","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Toomey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10016335"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_57706","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":560,"numTeachers":39,"percentFrplEligible":85,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":14,"percentWhite":27,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":46,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":62.2,"schoolId":57706,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Turner Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Turner Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kansas/turner-unified-school-district-202/turner-elementary-school/57706"}
