Your donations have brought excitement, opportunity, and so much support to my students.\r\n\r\nThe photography tools you provided allow me to capture my students and their learning in a whole new way. Whether we're documenting writing process, or celebrating classroom moments, these tools have truly enriched our year.\r\n\r\nThe heart-shaped wooden clip push pins have been a personal favorite of mine because they give us the opportunity to hang up work students are proud of and bring our classroom walls to life. They are also the cutest way to hang up the art work that they have given me this year. \r\n\r\nYour donation of noise-reducing earmuffs have helped students who need quiet to focus. The tension rods have helped me reorganize classroom spaces and the classroom feel cozy and clutter free!\r\n\r\nThe Heroes of Olympus complete book set has been a treasure for our growing readers, especially those ready for rich, engaging series. I also love it myself and have started reading the collection sometimes on my own and sometimes with the students too.\r\n\r\nEven the practical items that were purchased like the broom and dustpan set make a meaningful difference in helping us maintain a clean, cared-for classroom environment. \r\n\r\nEach item you donated big or small has added something valuable to our classroom community. Many of my students depend on school to provide the materials they need, and your generosity ensures that they have access to high-quality tools, books, and supplies that support their learning and creativity every day.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students. Your kindness impacts us more than you know.","fullyFundedDate":1755744756582,"projectUrl":"project/a-creative-cozy-classroom/9609356/","projectTitle":"A Creative & Cozy Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lopez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9838149_orig.jpg?crop=859,859,x478,y522&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1747749931406","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/anamaria-lopez"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_73032","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":284,"numTeachers":20,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":15,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":75,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":62.1,"schoolId":73032,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Maybury Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Maybury Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/detroit-public-schools-community-district/maybury-elementary-school/73032"}
