Your generosity has made a meaningful difference in our daily learning environment. The whiteboard markers have become essential tools for our phonics instruction, allowing every student to actively participate in letter recognition and sound work. Students use these tools daily as we unlock new sounds to use in our writing. Additionally, the Lysol wipes have helped us maintain a clean, healthy classroom space—something that is more important than ever. These items may seem small, but they have a significant impact on our ability to create a safe, engaging place where we can thrive.\r\n\r\nYour donation has also been instrumental in keeping our curriculum moving forward. The scissors and glue you provided have allowed us to fully engage with our kindergarten curriculum, which relies heavily on cutting, gluing, and sorting activities. These hands-on experiences are crucial for developing fine motor skills and reinforcing the academic concepts we're teaching. Without these supplies, many of our students would be unable to complete the essential learning activities that the district has designed to support their educational growth.\r\n\r\nI am deeply grateful for your commitment to removing barriers that often prevent students from accessing the materials they need to succeed. Your generosity ensures that all children in our classroom—regardless of their family's financial circumstances—have equal access to the tools necessary for their learning. Thank you for investing in our students' futures and for believing in the power of education. Your support truly makes a difference. We are so thankful for donors like you.\r\n\r\nWith sincere appreciation,","fullyFundedDate":1771297609686,"projectUrl":"project/daily-essentials-for-learning/9983181/","projectTitle":"Daily Essentials for Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rouillard","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4916442_orig.jpg?crop=806,806,x698,y792&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1737130458958","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4916442"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_65178","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":402,"numTeachers":32,"percentFrplEligible":92,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":31,"percentWhite":56,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"12.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":54.5,"schoolId":65178,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Farwell Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Farwell Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/maine/lewiston-public-schools/farwell-elementary-school/65178"}
