The kids were so excited when unboxed everything. These snacks will provide the kids with a little afternoon boost to get them through their days. I am allowing them to have a snack every day in the afternoon all year long. This should keep those bellies full and their brains ready to learn. \r\nThe supplies are being used for any student that could not afford the supplies that were on the list for back to school. This ensures that all students will have exactly what they need. I will not be asking parent to replenish any supplies throughout the year either. We will just use what this project has provided. \r\nYou all are amazing! Thank you so much for your generosity.

Because of your kindness, my students will now have flexible seating options like stadium chairs and floor cushions that make learning more comfortable and engaging. The mailbox organizer and cubby bins will help us stay organized and create a calm, structured environment where students can easily access books and materials. Simple but essential supplies like glue sticks, Play-Doh, and number labels ensure that every child have what they need to participate fully in hands-on learning each day.\r\n\r\nYour donation also brought learning to life through play. The dramatic play costumes and baby doll care set are giving students meaningful opportunities to explore real-world roles, build social skills, and use their imaginations. Even the smaller details, like the phone pocket chart and decorative cushions, will make our classroom more functional and welcoming. Every item you provided directly impacts our students' daily experiences, helping create a space where they feel comfortable, inspired, and ready to learn. We are truly grateful for your support and belief in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1777430967096,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-and-play-based-learning/10177124/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating and Play-Based Learning for Kindergarten Success.","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Voyles","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8636844_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1777001879046","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8636844"},{"teacherId":6925653,"projectId":10167629,"letterContent":"I cannot fully express my gratitude for the amazing gift of classroom chairs for my kindergarten classroom.

The arrival of these resources felt like a holiday in our classroom. The moment the students saw the Magnetic Bingo Wands and the Wooden Ten-Frame Set, their faces lit up with curiosity. One student even called the magnetic wands \"magic wands for learning,\" and they have been a massive hit during our small-group phonics and math centers.\r\n\r\nThe biggest transformation, however, has been the atmosphere of our room. The new classroom rug is such an anchor in the classroom- a gathering place, a learning area, and a place to rest and relax. \r\n\r\nJust this week, we used the Swingline paper trimmer and the mail slot organizer to launch our \"Independent Work Folders.\" Seeing a student independently walk over to their assigned slot to collect their graded work—with a huge smile on their face—showed me how much these organizational tools are building their confidence and sense of responsibility. \r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity and support!!","fullyFundedDate":1765065749370,"projectUrl":"project/comfortable-carpet-and-marvelous-mailbox/9928394/","projectTitle":"Comfortable Carpet and Marvelous Mailboxes","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Thomure","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6925653_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1764192178524","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6925653"},{"teacherId":5352109,"projectId":9029680,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation to my project.

We are also looking forward to our doctor day. The kids are excited to be able to use the white doctor coats and review our skills while pretend playing doctor.

Your kindness has made an incredible difference for my students and me, and I am so grateful that you chose to invest in our learning space! \r\n\r\nWhen this project was posted, I imagined how meaningful it would be to have a dedicated rug for our classroom. A space where students could gather together to learn, share, and grow. Thanks to you, that vision has become a reality. The rug has completely transformed the atmosphere of our room. It gives us a central meeting spot where we start our mornings together, build community, and set the tone for our day.\r\n\r\nThe impact of your gift goes beyond this school year. Creating a welcoming, well-equipped classroom environment sets the foundation for a love of learning. When students feel comfortable and excited to come to school, they are more engaged and more willing to take risks in their learning. The rug is not just a piece of classroom furniture. It is a tool that fosters connection, collaboration, and joy.","fullyFundedDate":1746718625825,"projectUrl":"project/ms-lands-class-rug/9321611/","projectTitle":"Ms. Lands' Class Rug","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lands","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10016005"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_77741","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":530,"numTeachers":42,"percentFrplEligible":60,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":90,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 2","studentTeacherRatio":"12.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":77.9,"schoolId":77741,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Central Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Central Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/missouri/central-school-district-r3/central-elementary-school/77741"}
