What you did for my classroom through \"The Great Paper and Pencil Rescue\" has made a bigger impact than you may ever fully realize.\r\n\r\nEvery single day, my students walk into class ready to learn—but so often, they come without the basic supplies they need. Pencils disappear, paper runs out, and something as small as not having materials can become a barrier to learning, confidence, and participation. Because of you, that barrier has been lifted.\r\n\r\nYou didn't just provide paper and pencils—you gave my students the ability to fully engage, to feel prepared, and to walk into class with one less worry. You gave them dignity, confidence, and the message that someone out there believes in them enough to invest in their success.\r\n\r\nAs a teacher, moments like this mean everything. Teaching isn't just about lessons and standards—it's about creating an environment where students feel supported and capable. Your generosity helps make that possible in a very real, tangible way.\r\n\r\nI've already seen the difference. Students who might have hesitated to ask for supplies now have what they need. There's less stress, more focus, and more willingness to participate. It may seem simple, but it's powerful.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of myself and every single one of my students, thank you for your kindness, your thoughtfulness, and your belief in education. What you've done matters—and it's making a difference every single day in our classroom.\r\n\r\nWith sincere gratitude,","fullyFundedDate":1766575307344,"projectUrl":"project/the-great-paper-pencil-rescue-mission/9906924/","projectTitle":"The Great Paper & Pencil Rescue Mission","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Owen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10355047"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_72499","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":256,"numTeachers":14,"percentFrplEligible":67,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":43,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":52,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"18.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":60.0,"schoolId":72499,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Jefferson Montessori Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Jefferson Montessori Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-mexico/carlsbad-municipal-school-district/jefferson-montessori-academy/72499"}
