Each item you helped provide is making a real impact:\r\n\r\nRead-Aloud Books – These stories connect directly to the topics of the ELA units we have this year and will provide them with additional background knowledge to be able to have a stronger comprehension of the texts.\r\n\r\nClipboards – When learning around the room, clipboards let students write and work comfortably anywhere. \r\n\r\nHeadphones – These have given my students the gift of focus. Whether listening to audiobooks, working on personalized math practice, or exploring educational software, headphones help each child learn without distraction.\r\n\r\nScissors – A small but mighty tool! Having enough scissors for everyone means students can dive into hands-on learning without losing time waiting to share.\r\n\r\nRecess STEM Activities – Our students now look forward to recess not just for play, but for creation and problem-solving. Building with magnetic tiles has encouraged teamwork, engineering skills, and imagination.\r\n\r\nFlashlights – Reading with a flashlight transforms ordinary practice into an adventure, motivating even reluctant readers to join in.\r\n\r\nPencils – It's amazing how something so simple can have such a big effect. A steady supply of pencils means students are always prepared to learn and never left behind because of missing materials.\r\n\r\nRewards and Prizes – These small tokens of encouragement have helped build a positive classroom culture. Students are motivated to meet goals, support one another, and celebrate growth together.\r\n\r\nEvery single item you helped provide is being used daily to create a classroom that is engaging, supportive, and full of opportunities. Thank you for investing in my students' success—you have made a lasting difference in their lives!","fullyFundedDate":1753299634647,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-learn-build-and-shine-bright-e/9387307/","projectTitle":"Help Us Learn, Build, and Shine Bright Every Day!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Klisares","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10046919_orig.jpg?crop=3258,3258,x814,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753192578681","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10046919"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_79501","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":439,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":77,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":54,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":26,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"12.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":55.6,"schoolId":79501,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Parkview Heights Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Parkview Heights Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nebraska/papillion-la-vista-sch-dist-27/parkview-heights-elementary-school/79501"}
