Your support has made an immediate and meaningful impact on my students, and I am incredibly grateful for your kindness.\r\n When the STEM items arrived, the excitement in my room was contagious. The students' faces lit up as they explored the materials, eagerly asking questions and sharing ideas about what they could build and create. As I was unpacking the items, they were super excited to get started playing with them.\r\n Since receiving these STEM materials, my students have been using them regularly during our recess time. They collaborate, problem solve, make adjustments, and try again if something doesn't work the first time. I've seen my students who are using hesitate to try something new, become more confident as they work on creating things with their classmates.\r\n Thank you again for investing in my students and their education. Your generosity has truly made a difference, it has helped my students see themselves as thinkers, builders, and innovators.","fullyFundedDate":1760888998351,"projectUrl":"project/plastic-chairs-are-so-yesterday/9440616/","projectTitle":"Plastic chairs are so yesterday!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Berkheimer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10067743_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751314468328","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10067743"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_54447","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":349,"numTeachers":42,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":9,"percentWhite":77,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"8.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":65.9,"schoolId":54447,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mowrie A Ebner Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mowrie A Ebner Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/altoona-area-school-district/mowrie-a-ebner-elementary-school/54447"}
