They love to earn stickers and stamps for excellent work. Friday prize box items are fun for all. The basketballs have been great for recess because we did not have any before to be able to utilize the basketball goals. The students also LOVED THE bright colored pencils.\r\nWe can not say thank you enough for your kindness.","fullyFundedDate":1746787236962,"projectUrl":"project/supplies-for-scholars/9168807/","projectTitle":"Supplies for Scholars!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Knox","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5989428_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1691096102652","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5989428"},{"teacherId":5989428,"projectId":8470525,"letterContent":"I can't even begin to convey the gratitude my students and I have for your generous donations.

The chair pockets have allowed students to have a place to keep their supplies nice and neat and given them extra work space. They have even had some fun by adding art into the clear pockets where name cards can be displayed.\r\n\r\nThe lamps have helped to bring an element of calm and focus to our classroom. Students love to use their table lamps while working on assignments. They get so excited to use them. It's like a reward for them and they are excited to do their work in a calm environment with the lamps.\r\n\r\nThank you for supporting our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1729135803309,"projectUrl":"project/light-up-with-learning-and-pockets-for-o/8470525/","projectTitle":"Light Up with Learning and Pockets for Organization","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Knox","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5989428_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1691096102652","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5989428"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_2508","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":597,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":13,"percentWhite":70,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":10,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":57.7,"schoolId":2508,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Springmore Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Springmore Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/cleveland-county-school-district/springmore-elementary-school/2508"}
