The addition of headphones has had an immediate and powerful impact—students are now able to focus during computer-based learning activities without distractions. Programs that support reading fluency, math fact practice, and individualized learning have become more effective because students can work at their own pace, fully immersed in their tasks. For many of our students, this is the first time they've had access to such high-quality, personal learning tools, and it's made a big difference in their confidence and progress.\r\n\r\nThe art supplies and colored printer paper have brought a fresh sense of creativity and excitement to our classroom. From making posters for social studies projects to expressing themselves through art, students now have the materials they need to bring their ideas to life. One student who had previously been quiet and hesitant during group work has found her voice through our creative assignments—her enthusiasm and participation have grown tremendously since these supplies arrived. Similarly, the classroom mailbox sorter has helped foster independence and organization, giving students a central spot to collect and share their work, notes, and achievements.\r\n\r\nIt's truly amazing to see how a few thoughtful tools can spark so much joy and growth. Thank you for believing in our students and giving them the resources to thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1699719186188,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-students-with-essential-suppl/8008469/","projectTitle":"Empowering Students with Essential Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Baker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8969668"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_54681","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":487,"numTeachers":33,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":21,"percentWhite":24,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":37,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":48.8,"schoolId":54681,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about M.J.
