Your support has had a wonderful impact on our students and their learning environment.\r\nRecently, we received the set of puzzles designed for our school facility dog, and they have become an invaluable addition to our art room. These puzzles serve multiple purposes and have enriched our students' learning experiences in several ways.\r\nFirstly, they provide a relaxing and engaging activity for students who finish their art projects ahead of time. The puzzles offer a constructive way for these students to use their time, fostering problem-solving skills and creativity.\r\nSecondly, on free choice days, the puzzles are a popular option among the students. They enjoy the challenge and the sense of accomplishment that comes from completing them. It's a joy to see their faces light up with pride as they work together or independently to solve them.\r\nLastly, the puzzles are a fantastic resource for students who occasionally need a break from their work. They provide a calming and therapeutic outlet, helping students to refocus and recharge before returning to their art projects.\r\nYour contributions have made it possible for us to offer these enriching activities, which not only support our students' educational growth but also their emotional well-being. Thank you for making a difference in our classroom and for supporting our facility dog's role in enhancing our learning environment.","fullyFundedDate":1754766776345,"projectUrl":"project/fun-with-the-facility-dog/9547623/","projectTitle":"Fun with the Facility Dog!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Miros","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10159120_orig.jpg?crop=720,720,x0,y132&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754518291568","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10159120"},{"teacherId":6057402,"projectId":8844286,"letterContent":"I am deeply grateful for your generosity in supporting my fundraising efforts to provide a Soundtrap subscription for my 3rd-5th grade students.

With Soundtrap, my students are music making in new ways - actively creating and producing their own compositions, developing skills that will serve them far beyond the music classroom. It has been inspiring to watch their excitement grow as they experiment with sound, layer tracks, and bring their musical ideas to life. It is my hope that students will take enough pride in their works that they will submit their compositions to be considered for the Young Composers of Michigan Premier Concert. \r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a tangible impact on their musical journey, and I cannot thank you enough for helping to make this project a reality.","fullyFundedDate":1731512929669,"projectUrl":"project/encouraging-our-young-composers/8844286/","projectTitle":"Encouraging Our Young Composers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McEvoy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6057402_orig.jpg?crop=589,589,x64,y133&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1597323045133","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6057402"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_68185","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":262,"numTeachers":20,"percentFrplEligible":65,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":22,"percentWhite":42,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":14,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":76.8,"schoolId":68185,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about William Donley Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"William Donley Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/east-lansing-public-school-district/william-donley-elementary-school/68185"}
