However, many of them face challenges that make learning harder than it should be. When students are working with tiny pencil stubs and crayons that break from daily use, it becomes difficult for them to fully share their ideas or take pride in their work. Thanks to the generosity of donors, we now have the tools needed to remove these barriers and help every child feel confident and capable.\r\n\r\nWith new whiteboards, markers, clipboards, and fresh paper, our classroom has transformed into a vibrant workshop of creativity and collaboration These materials allow students to sketch out ideas, brainstorm with partners, and solve problems together in ways that go far beyond traditional notebook work. This support directly impacts 30 young learners in our Equity Focus school, giving them the resources they need to thrive academically and express themselves with pride.","fullyFundedDate":1769986362245,"projectUrl":"project/writing-skills/9827822/","projectTitle":"Writing Skills","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. R Roby Neal","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9082007"},{"teacherId":9082007,"projectId":9830015,"letterContent":"When my students have the supplies they need, they're able to create artwork that truly expresses how they feel. Basic drawing materials—especially colored pencils—open the door for their creativity to flow in class. \r\n\r\n\r\nWith something as simple as paper and a pencil, my students reveal entire worlds. Their free‑drawings tell stories they can't always put into words: moments of joy, challenges they're facing, dreams they hold close, and the things that motivate them. It's incredible to see how much they share when given the opportunity to create freely, and these insights help me support their growth in meaningful ways.","fullyFundedDate":1770221485882,"projectUrl":"project/fining-the-rainbow/9830015/","projectTitle":"Fining the Rainbow","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. R Roby Neal","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9082007"},{"teacherId":9082007,"projectId":9508275,"letterContent":",\r\n\r\nMy students are truly enjoying the gifts that have helped enhance their learning skills. The new classroom clock has been wonderful; they are not only learning how to tell time but are also using it to keep themselves on track and manage their transitions throughout the day.\r\n\r\nThe large jumbo math game has quickly grown to become one of their favorite tools for math centers. It has been a total game-changer for my students who are learning how to \"count on\" from a number already on the mat. Seeing them physically interact with numbers has boosted their confidence and engagement significantly. Thank you for providing these hands-on resources that make learning so much more meaningful and fun!","fullyFundedDate":1761875063609,"projectUrl":"project/engaging-early-learners/9508275/","projectTitle":"Engaging Early Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. R Roby Neal","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9082007"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_77999","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":404,"numTeachers":40,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":96,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":57.3,"schoolId":77999,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Gateway Mst Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Gateway Mst Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/missouri/st-louis-public-schools/gateway-elementary-school/77999"}
