Your kindness and generosity have made a meaningful difference in the daily lives of my preschool students.\r\nBecause of you, our classroom is now stocked with much-needed snacks and essential cleaning supplies. In a low-income community like ours, these items are not just helpful—they are vital. The snacks you provided help ensure that no child has to focus on learning while feeling hungry. They offer comfort, nourishment, and the energy my students need to grow, play, and thrive throughout the day.\r\nYour donation of cleaning supplies and tissues has been especially impactful during cold and flu season. With young children, maintaining a clean and healthy environment is crucial. Thanks to your support, we have been able to keep our classroom safer, reduce the spread of illness, and create a space where students can learn and feel cared for.\r\nPlease know that your generosity goes far beyond the physical items you provided. You have shown my students that there are people who care about them and believe in their potential. That message is powerful and lasting.\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for supporting our classroom and helping us create a nurturing, healthy, and joyful learning environment.","fullyFundedDate":1768754210797,"projectUrl":"project/newly-created-classroom/10024847/","projectTitle":"Newly Created Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dolce","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10269156"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_21683","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":574,"numTeachers":45,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":33,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":59,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"3 - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"12.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":74.5,"schoolId":21683,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Dunkirk Intermediate School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Dunkirk Intermediate School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/dunkirk-city-schools/dunkirk-middle-school/21683"}
