Your contribution has made a significant impact on our students' educational experience, and we are so grateful for your support.\r\n\r\nThe classroom project was a passion project led by two of our 5th grade students who are deeply interested in paleontology and archaeology. Thanks to your donation, we were able to purchase a variety of archaeology and paleontology kits, which allowed our students to explore these fascinating fields firsthand. The kits, filled with digging tools, masks, and goggles, provided an authentic and exciting experience that our students will never forget.\r\n\r\nThe arrival of the kits sparked an immediate flurry of excitement. Our 5th graders took the lead, organizing a \"Big Dig\" event for our 3rd and 4th grade students. They presented a lesson on the basics of archaeology and paleontology before guiding the younger students in using the kits to unearth dinosaur fossils, which they then assembled into complete skeletons. The students also had the thrill of digging for gemstones, coins, and other artifacts, which they got to take home as a prize.\r\n\r\nThis project not only deepened our students' understanding of paleontology and archaeology but also fostered their leadership and collaboration skills. Your support made this incredible learning opportunity possible. Thank you again for your generosity and for believing in the potential of our students.","fullyFundedDate":1743196852645,"projectUrl":"project/the-big-dig/9144348/","projectTitle":"The Big Dig","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Souffrant","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9493023"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_59402","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":616,"numTeachers":40,"percentFrplEligible":85,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":19,"percentWhite":48,"percentIndigenous":8,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":73.2,"schoolId":59402,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about East Stroudsburg Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"East Stroudsburg Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/east-stroudsburg-area-school-district/east-stroudsburg-elementary-school/59402"}
