It has eliminated the juggling act of students trying to carry lunch boxes through the halls, dropping them in Enhancement classes, or leaving them on the ground during recess. Now, everything travels neatly and safely together, making transitions quicker and far less stressful.\r\n\r\nThe automatic paper towel dispenser has been just as valuable. Before, my students often had to leave the classroom to dry their hands after using our sink, which interrupted our learning and took away from instructional time. Now, they can wash, dry, and get right back to work without missing a beat.\r\n\r\nThese two items may seem small, but the positive impact they've made in our classroom is huge. Thank you for investing in our classroom community and helping create a space where students can learn with fewer distractions and smoother transitions.","fullyFundedDate":1663628211581,"projectUrl":"project/tidy-and-timely-transitions/6826860/","projectTitle":"Tidy and Timely Transitions!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Godwin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2614652_orig.jpg?crop=635,635,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1605967337924","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/elizabeth-godwin"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_1709","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":552,"numTeachers":38,"percentFrplEligible":64,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":22,"percentWhite":59,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.1,"schoolId":1709,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Coopers Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Coopers Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/nash-rocky-mount-public-schools/coopers-elementary-school/1709"}
