The burden of individual supply lists was lifted, and every student was able to focus on what mattered most: learning and belonging.\r\n\r\nThese shared supplies also helped teach valuable lessons in kindness, responsibility, and cooperation. Our students learned how to care for shared items, wait their turn, and take pride in keeping our classroom organized and respectful.\r\n\r\nYour generosity helped us build more than just a well-stocked classroom—you helped us build a strong, supportive community. Thank you for helping us give our youngest learners the tools they needed to succeed and feel seen.","fullyFundedDate":1695734720450,"projectUrl":"project/kinder-community-supplies/7534096/","projectTitle":"Kinder Community Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Moore","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8505967_orig.jpg?crop=1293,1293,x1732,y1201&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752716329208","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8505967"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_128771","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":418,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":53,"percentWhite":16,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":66.7,"schoolId":128771,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Summit Creek Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Summit Creek Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/north-carolina-department-of-education/summit-creek-academy/128771"}
