Your support has provided much-needed storage that will make a daily difference for my students. Because our classroom uses tables instead of desks, students previously had no dedicated place to keep their curriculum books and materials. This new storage gives them a clear, organized space they can use each day.\r\n\r\nStudents have been so excited to use the new storage shelf. Prior to the shelf, they were storing their materials in old drawers that had seen better days. Now, they are able to easily access their materials in an organized way. This organization had helped reduce distractions, saved instructional time, and has allowed students to focus more fully on managing materials. It also encourages responsibility and ownership of their supplies.\r\n\r\nYour kindness and donation to our classroom truly matter. Thanks to you, our learning environment is more organized, efficient, and supportive of student success. My students and I are deeply grateful for your generosity and for investing in their education.","fullyFundedDate":1764636608093,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-storage/9526854/","projectTitle":"Classroom Storage","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rippe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10107634_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754095434441","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10107634"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_79490","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":466,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":35,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":65,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":15,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"17.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":65.4,"schoolId":79490,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Peter Sarpy Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Peter Sarpy Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nebraska/bellevue-public-school-district-1/peter-sarpy-elementary-school/79490"}
