Because of your kindness, my students have received much-needed supplies that are already making a meaningful difference in their daily learning experiences.\r\n\r\nThe packs of markers have been especially impactful in our classroom. As a school in a low-income district, many of my students do not always have access to basic materials. These markers have allowed them to fully participate in creative and academic activities, from illustrating their writing to engaging in hands-on projects. Having their own reliable set of markers has not only boosted their confidence but has also encouraged greater creativity and pride in their work.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the headphones have been an incredible asset for our classroom technology use. Many of my students rely on Chromebooks to access interactive learning websites that support reading, math, and other essential skills. With the headphones, students are now able to focus more effectively without distractions, listen to instructions clearly, and work at their own pace. This has been especially beneficial for students who need a quieter, more individualized learning experience.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has truly enhanced both the academic and creative opportunities available to my students. Thank you for investing in their success and helping to create a more engaging and supportive learning environment.\r\n\r\nWith heartfelt appreciation,","fullyFundedDate":1769192006312,"projectUrl":"project/creating-calm-creative-classroomsone-s/10000758/","projectTitle":"Creating Calm, Creative Classrooms—One Student at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Coleman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5855627_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1537907162864","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5855627"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_80949","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":359,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":57,"percentAsian":11,"percentBlack":16,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":64,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 3","studentTeacherRatio":"13.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":59.2,"schoolId":80949,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about G.H.
