Your support means the world to me and my future students. Through your kindness, our classroom received a complete set of individual student calculators, a numbered classroom calculator holder, a vibrant supply of highlighters, and coordinate plane stickers for everyone. Receiving these boxes of supplies was an absolute highlight, and I want to share exactly how much your gifts mean to our learning community.\r\n\r\nTo give you some context on the timing, the packages arrived at my school late this past spring. At that point in the academic year, our schedule was entirely consumed by end-of-year state testing. Right after testing wrapped up, my classroom had to be completely packed into boxes for summer cleaning and building maintenance. Because of this whirlwind timeline, I was not able to put these amazing tools into my students' hands before they left for summer break. However, having them stored safely away has filled me with immense anticipation for the upcoming school year.\r\n\r\nNow that summer is winding down, I am actively preparing my classroom for the fall. I cannot begin to tell you how exciting it is to unpack these brand-new resources instead of worrying about how to stretch a limited budget. For an educator, starting a new term with the exact tools you need is an incredibly empowering feeling. Your donations have completely alleviated a massive financial burden. Like many teachers, I usually spend a significant amount of money out of my own pocket each year to make sure my room is functional. By providing these essential materials, you have saved my personal finances and directly invested in the quality of education my students will receive.\r\n\r\nWhen my new students walk through the door this fall, your impact will be visible immediately. In past years, sharing a small, broken, or mismatched batch of tools caused distractions and slowed down our lesson momentum. This year will be entirely different. Thanks to you, every single student will have immediate access to their own high-quality calculator. No one will have to wait their turn or feel left out. Furthermore, the numbered calculator holder is going to be a game-changer for our daily classroom routine. It will teach the students organizational skills, keep our new tech safe, and ensure that accountability is built right into our classroom culture from day one.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the math supplies are going to be a phenomenal resource for our interactive notebooks. In mathematics, graphing can often be a source of frustration for students who struggle with drawing straight lines or scaling axes accurately. Instead of spending precious class time drawing grids by hand, my students can simply peel and place a perfect coordinate plane sticker directly onto their pages. This allows us to jump straight into deeper concepts.\r\n\r\nThe highlighters you provided will pair perfectly with these notebooks. Students will use them to color-code their steps, track key math vocabulary, and emphasize important formulas. This kind of active, visual learning helps students retain information much better. Together, these tools will serve as a constant reference that students can look back on throughout the entire year as we tackle tougher math topics.\r\n\r\nPlease know that your generosity has a ripple effect. You did not just buy school supplies; you built a bridge to success for dozens of children. You have shown my upcoming students that there is a whole community of people outside our school walls who care about their education and want them to succeed. This knowledge boosts their confidence and inspires them to work harder. Thank you so much for the positive impact you have already made on my career and on the bright futures of my students this fall. We will think of your kindness every time we clear a screen, organize our holder, or highlight a breakthrough in our notebooks.","fullyFundedDate":1773762772775,"projectUrl":"project/we-need-calculators/10158727/","projectTitle":"We Need Calculators!!!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lopez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9968342_orig.jpg?crop=250,250,x0,y16&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1741902163885","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9968342"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_88083","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":511,"numTeachers":21,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":28,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":67,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"24.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":29.2,"schoolId":88083,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ontario Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ontario Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/oregon/ontario-school-district-8c/ontario-middle-school/88083"}
