Each month our entire student body focuses on learning a new character trait. The teachers focus lessons on this theme, the guidance counselor provides read aloud books, and the students who are caught demonstrating these life skills are celebrated. Your donation of twenty-five books aided all aspects of this program in so many different ways. The conversations that resulted from reading some of these books during my library class time was simply amazing. Your gift was greatly appreciated, and on behalf of my school, I can't thank you enough.","fullyFundedDate":1790791979496,"projectUrl":"project/creating-character-strong-students/10692603/","projectTitle":"Creating Character Strong Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Noble","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/494367"},{"teacherId":494367,"projectId":10561807,"letterContent":"Our dinosaur unit would not have been made possible without your generous donation. The students enjoyed making their own dinosaur book using the copy paper that the Maxwell/Hanrahan Foundation provided. The donated nonfiction books were used to research dinosaur facts, and also as a model for how to create a table of contents, an index, and a glossary. In total, we spent five weeks exploring fossils, taking virtual field trips to see dinosaur bones, and reading biographies of famous paleontologists. My third graders were so excited and proud to have created, in their words, a \"real\" book, and I want to thank you for their learning.","fullyFundedDate":1789563042996,"projectUrl":"project/learning-through-research/10561807/","projectTitle":"Learning Through Research","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Noble","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/494367"},{"teacherId":8301239,"projectId":10303915,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating a white board table to our classroom.

The excitement continued from there, and before I could even start the lesson, they were sharing facts with others at their table. I love that they were learning new skills while having fun. The pencils were put to good use as we learned the steps of a research process, and the Africa continent book was read as we kicked off the unit.

Many had never used a real microscope before, and the excitement in the room was contagious as they learned how to focus, adjust the light, and bring tiny details into view. Right away, they began exploring with genuine curiosity, eager to see the world in a way they never had before.\r\n\r\nTheir very first project was to examine samples representing different systems of the human body. Students rotated through stations, comparing cells and structures, making observations, and discussing what they noticed with their partners. Meanwhile, other students were already buzzing with anticipation for the hands-on experiments they would soon get to conduct—experiments that make science feel real, relevant, and alive.\r\n\r\nThe workbooks you helped provide have become an essential part of the learning process. Students are using them to document their findings, sketch what they see under the microscope, and explain their thinking in their own words. They are proud to share their ideas and demonstrate what they've learned, and it's clear these materials are helping them grow as scientists. Thank you for giving them the tools and experiences that spark curiosity and confidence every day.","fullyFundedDate":1757423295342,"projectUrl":"project/science-up-close-microscopes-and-hands-/9571284/","projectTitle":"Science Up Close: Microscopes and Hands-on Learning for Young Scientists","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Walker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9164210"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_1759","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":415,"numTeachers":44,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":25,"percentWhite":41,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":18,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":12,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"9.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":53.8,"schoolId":1759,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Summersill Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Summersill Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/onslow-county-school-district/summersill-elementary-school/1759"}
