Our project may not have seemed like it contained exciting items, but they are things that impact our learning in STEM class. \r\n\r\nTape dispensers for masking tape are so helpful. When we work in groups, being able to share the tape and being able to use one hand to pull pieces makes things run so much smoother. Our littlest students are even able to use them with ease. \r\n\r\nFloor tape may seem like something to use in a gym class, but our students use it as well. From marking out seating areas to making mazes for our Sphero Robots, we use it quite often. Our custodians also appreciate it when we have this tape because other types of tape leave residue on the floor. \r\n\r\nNew Sharpie markers always bring a smile to my students' faces. Many of our projects allow us to expand into using our art skills to create and decorate. Having so many color options plus enough for everyone to use at the same time is awesome. \r\n\r\nWe also are very thankful for our small drawer organizer. So many of our lessons involve Lego kits. This helps us to organize the individual pieces and have a system im place for students to independently find what they need. \r\n\r\nWhile not the most exciting items, they are definitely needed and greatly appreciated in our classroom. Thank you again for helping us with your donation. We really couldn't do it without your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1738353308279,"projectUrl":"project/glue-draw-tape-store-replenish-our-suppl/8971926/","projectTitle":"Glue-Draw-Tape-Store Replenish Our Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Webb","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp327529_orig.png?crop=415,415,x2,y28&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757119563612","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/327529"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_57994","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":527,"numTeachers":46,"percentFrplEligible":31,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":77,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":81.0,"schoolId":57994,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Clays Mill Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Clays Mill Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kentucky/fayette-county-public-schools/clays-mill-elementary-school/57994"}
