Because ,of you, our \"Projects Pulling The STEAM\" project become a reality, and the impact on my students had been truly inspiring. When the supplies arrived, the excitement in the room was unforgettable. For many of my students, having access to high- quality, hands-on STEAM materials is not something they experience every day. Your generosity didn't just provide tools it provided opportunity, confidence, and motivation.\r\n With the new supplies, students were able to fully engage in designing, building, experimenting, and problem solving at a much deeper level. Instead of simply reading about concepts, they explored them first hand. They collaborated effectively, thought more critically, and took greater ownership of their learning. I watched students who were once hesitant step into leadership roles during group projects. I saw creativity flourish and confidence grow with every completed task. We brought real world learning into our classroom.\r\nThank you for believing in my students and investing in their potential. Your generosity is shaping not only their academic success but also their confidence and dreams for the future.","fullyFundedDate":1761234798859,"projectUrl":"project/pulling-steam/9475329/","projectTitle":"Pulling STEAM","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Whitfield","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8401415_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723059607696","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8401415"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_16920","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":434,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":10,"percentBlack":45,"percentWhite":8,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":30,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":59.0,"schoolId":16920,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Wildwood Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Wildwood Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/louisiana/east-baton-rouge-parish-public-schools/wildwood-elementary-school/16920"}
