Your generosity has made a meaningful difference in our daily learning experience.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our students have access to the tools they need to fully participate, stay organized, and feel confident in their work. Simple things like new books, laminated pages, a new cart for our playdough, and other hands-on materials spark creativity, encourage engagement, and help bring lessons to life. It may seem small, but having the right supplies removes barriers and allows every child to focus on learning rather than worrying about what they may be missing.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has also created a sense of excitement and pride in our classroom. The students were thrilled to see new materials and immediately put them to use. More importantly, your support reminds them that there are people in their community who believe in them and care about their success. That message alone is powerful.\r\n\r\nPlease know that your generosity is appreciated more than words can express. You are directly impacting young learners and helping create a positive, well-equipped environment where they can grow academically and socially.","fullyFundedDate":1762871007327,"projectUrl":"project/do-good/9460045/","projectTitle":"Do Good!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Walbrecht","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-walbrecht"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_22090","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":357,"numTeachers":26,"percentFrplEligible":53,"percentAsian":15,"percentBlack":23,"percentWhite":14,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":44,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"13.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.0,"schoolId":22090,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Brooklyn Avenue Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Brooklyn Avenue Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/valley-stream-union-free-school-district-24/brooklyn-avenue-elementary-school/22090"}
