Now, whenever students are doing experiments, they put on their safety glasses with excitement and pride, just like real scientists. This simple resource has elevated the way we approach experiments and has helped us strengthen our commitment to our motto \" Safety is First!\"\r\nOne of the first memorable moments was during a fifth-grade experiment on chemical reactions using vinegar and baking soda. As soon as the students put on their safety glasses, their confidence grew, They leaned closer , observed more carefully, and asked thoughtful questions because they knew they were protected. Many students even commented, \"We look like real scientists!\" The sense of professionalism and ownership in the lab was unmistakable. \r\nThe first day the safety glasses arrived, the excitement was contagious. Students line up eagerly to try them on and admired themselves in the mirror, giggling ang and cheering. Their reactions showed us how something as small as protective eyewear can spark curiosity, joy, and pride in learning.\r\nThe wipes also help in keeping our science areas clean after our experiments.","fullyFundedDate":1746699623697,"projectUrl":"project/stem-lab-safety/9045368/","projectTitle":"STEM Lab Safety","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Makombe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9309867"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_1368","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":377,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":74,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":30.9,"schoolId":1368,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ferguson - Easley Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ferguson - Easley Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/cumberland-county-schools/ferguson-easley-elementary-school/1368"}
