Your contribution has made a truly meaningful impact on our classroom, and I am excited to share the difference it has already made for our students.\r\n\r\nAlthough we only deliver coffee once a month, the experience extends far beyond that day. Throughout the month, students are actively preparing and distributing the menu, budgeting for necessary supplies, and baking the treat that accompanies each coffee delivery. These behind-the-scenes responsibilities give them meaningful opportunities to practice communication, teamwork, responsibility, and financial literacy in a real-world context.\r\n\r\nWhat has been especially powerful is watching students who are typically shy or hesitant step into leadership roles. They eagerly volunteer for tasks, support one another, and celebrate their successes together. The coffee cart has not only strengthened academic and social-emotional skills but has also created a sense of community and belonging within our classroom.\r\n\r\nNone of this would have been possible without your kindness and belief in our students. Your generosity has transformed a simple idea into an experience that sparks joy, teaches valuable life skills, and empowers students to see themselves as capable and confident.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of our entire classroom, thank you for making such a positive and lasting impact. We are deeply grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1759152874744,"projectUrl":"project/baristas/9439968/","projectTitle":"Baristas","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mast","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10067374"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_22274","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":492,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":49,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":11,"percentWhite":45,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":37,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":73.7,"schoolId":22274,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Berea Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Berea Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/valley-central-school-district/berea-elementary-school/22274"}
