My students use the materials and enjoy getting the awards and stickers for good behavior.\r\nMy students absolute favorite are the colored pencils! They are always asking if they can use them when they are completing a worksheet, drawing, or working on a coloring sheet. \r\nThe writing paper has been a huge help with practicing their writing and illustration skills. Students can earn stickers for having good behavior or improvement in the work. I love to give out awards and they take them home and receive a message from their parents to thank me for all that I do to help them.","fullyFundedDate":1755870658765,"projectUrl":"project/consumable-supplies-needed/9290214/","projectTitle":"Consumable Supplies Needed","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Brashears","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5215011"},{"teacherId":844654,"projectId":9300420,"letterContent":"I just wanted to let you know how thankful we are for your generous donations. There are so many positive impacts that your donation has and will continue to have on our classroom.\r\n\r\nThe large speaker that we were able to purchase, projects music clearly across the room, allowing all students to hear playback, rhythm tracks, and accompaniment without distortion. It creates a more immersive listening experience, helping students better perceive dynamics, tone, and balance. The high-quality sound makes lessons feel more like real musical experiences, which the students love so much. I have also noticed that the students have been more motivated to perform or participate in group activities when the sound is powerful and clear.\r\n\r\nThe composer DVD's support our lessons and students are able to see the life that the composer lived. Visual storytelling through the DVD's brings composers to life — students can see the historical context, instruments, performances, and personalities behind the music.","fullyFundedDate":1752586515238,"projectUrl":"project/mrs-sziksais-music-class/9300420/","projectTitle":"Mrs. Sziksai's Music Class","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sziksai","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp844654_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746034772764","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/844654"},{"teacherId":10007981,"projectId":9292980,"letterContent":"The donation had a meaningful impact on both student engagement and the overall learning environment within the classroom. It provided opportunities to create a more interactive and student-centered space where learners could actively participate in lessons rather than simply observe. With enhanced access to tools that promote collaboration and creativity, students became more motivated and confident in expressing their ideas. This shift in engagement has led to richer discussions, stronger problem-solving skills, and a noticeable increase in enthusiasm for learning across all subjects.\r\nBeyond improving engagement, the donation also supported differentiated instruction and accessibility. It allowed the teacher to implement a variety of teaching strategies that address different learning styles—visual, auditory, and kinesthetic—so that every student could find success. Students who previously struggled to stay focused or fully participate began to show improvement as lessons became more hands-on and visually supportive.\r\nUltimately, the donation transformed the classroom into a more dynamic and inclusive learning environment. It fostered collaboration, curiosity, and a sense of belonging among students. By removing barriers to participation and enriching daily instruction, the donation not only improved academic outcomes but also strengthened the classroom community as a whole.","fullyFundedDate":1745876412192,"projectUrl":"project/beyond-the-classroom/9292980/","projectTitle":"Beyond the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Abby","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10007981_orig.jpg?crop=1236,1236,x456,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1778590195868","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10007981"},{"teacherId":2145116,"projectId":9498974,"letterContent":"Our students are using the new basketball equipment every day during structured practice, skill stations, and small-group activities. With enough quality basketballs and training equipment for everyone, students are able to work on dribbling, passing, shooting, and defensive fundamentals without waiting or sharing limited resources. One powerful moment came during a skills circuit where every student stayed actively engaged the entire time—something that simply wasn't possible before this project. The equipment has allowed us to focus on repetition, growth, and teamwork instead of logistics.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, their excitement was immediate and genuine. They recognized that this equipment was high-quality and meant just for them. Several students commented that it made them feel like their program mattered and that someone believed in their potential. That sense of pride translated directly into effort—students were more focused, more motivated, and eager to take care of the equipment because they understood it was a gift from people who cared about their success.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, our next steps include building more advanced skill progressions and incorporating team concepts such as spacing, communication, and decision-making. Students are now able to practice consistently, set personal goals, and apply what they learn in real game situations. Your support has created lasting opportunities for growth, confidence, and leadership that extend far beyond the basketball court. Thank you for investing in our students and helping us create a positive, engaging learning environment.","fullyFundedDate":1759440480428,"projectUrl":"project/girls-basketball/9498974/","projectTitle":"Girl’s Basketball","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Johnson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2145116_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1542377864001","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2145116"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_54824","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":468,"numTeachers":38,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":98,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"12.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":51.0,"schoolId":54824,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bell Central Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bell Central Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kentucky/bell-county-school-district/bell-central-school/54824"}
