When students first saw the materials, they were attentive and appreciative, understanding that these resources were meant to support their learning and help them do their best work.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, students are now better equipped to stay organized, focus on tasks, and fully participate in lessons. Our next steps include continuing to use these materials to support current units and upcoming projects, allowing students to build skills, work independently, and meet learning goals with the tools they need.

The snacks that were purchased have been an immense help to ensure that our students are do not go hungry between meals, and for students who may not be eating enough at home. We have been able to offer our students free healthy snack options in a non-stigmatizing way to ensure that their bodies and minds are ready to learn each and every day. Students have been amazed by the options and how many snacks we have, and their faces always light up when I show them what they can choose from! It is been a significant help especially when students don't have breakfast or are unable to bring in a snack because of their home/financial situation.

Before this gift, our students were limited to traditional pencils and basic watercolors. Your contribution immediately transformed our studio, providing a professional-grade tool that offers the versatility of paint with the precision of a marker. This was more than just a donation of supplies; it was an investment in our students' potential and a direct answer to their growing desire for more expressive, high-impact art tools.\r\n\r\nThe true magic of the Posca markers allowed our students to truly bring their creativity to life. These markers allowed artists to layer colors, work on unique surfaces, and achieve bold, solid color fields that were previously impossible. Students who struggled with the messiness of paint found confidence and control with the marker tips, enabling them to execute detailed designs on a variety of surfaces, including paper, cardboard, canvas, and even a couple desks (oops). \r\n\r\nBecause of your remarkable generosity, our students got to explore an entirely new medium that expanded their artistic horizons. This wasn't simply an upgrade to our current materials; it was the creation of a brand-new art pathway. Thank you for making this exploration possible. Your support directly fostered a deeper appreciation for diverse art materials and helped demonstrate to our young artists that their dreams of creating bold, impactful work are achievable.","fullyFundedDate":1746541700473,"projectUrl":"project/posca-power-paintings-that-reflect-who/9097687/","projectTitle":"Posca Power!

We have had the opportunity to open and unpack the materials we received, and the excitement around it was amazing. We had the opportunity to unbox the badminton nets with the help of several different classes, and the students really enjoyed seeing what we received and hearing about the ways we were planning on integrating the materials into our gym class.\r\n\r\nThe activities looked different across different grade levels. The younger students found a lot of excitement opening up the rackets and birdies and choosing favorite colors of each to work with. They spent time learning and practicing making contact with the birdies by themselves, and trying to hit back and forth with partners. they even had an opportunity to work with and learn from some of the older students. The older students really loved helping to set up the new nets we got, and were eager to get started on games right away. Some of them chose to play competitive games with heated competition and serious score keeping. Others chose a more relaxed style of play, choosing to volley and rally back and forth with each other.\r\n\r\nThis coming week sees us change classes for the next quarter, so a whole new group of students will have the chance to learn, practice and explore the game of Badminton over the course of several weeks this term. Even though this section of students won't have the opportunity to unbox the equipment I know they will be just as excited about being able to use the new nets and rackets your thoughtful donations helped us acquire for the school! \r\n\r\nWe are also excited about being able to set up the nets and use the equipment for the next couple of family nights we have at the school. As the weather improves, and we can move activities outdoors, badminton will a perfect way for families and staff to connect at our family engagement nights.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your donations, and for creating incredible opportunities for fun and active learning to occur in our PE classes!","fullyFundedDate":1736726596469,"projectUrl":"project/bodacious-badminton-bonanza/9038186/","projectTitle":"Bodacious Badminton Bonanza!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Jesser","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5414862"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_62894","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":551,"numTeachers":53,"percentFrplEligible":85,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":50,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":36,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"10.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":65.1,"schoolId":62894,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Joseph Lee K-8 School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Joseph Lee K-8 School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/massachusetts/boston-public-schools/joseph-lee-elementary-school/62894"}
