Your kindness is already making a meaningful difference in our students' daily learning experiences.\r\n\r\nThe erasable pens have been a huge success. They are encouraging students to write more confidently, practice spelling our unit words, and add creativity and flair to their work. The ability to easily revise has reduced frustration and increased motivation, and we are seeing more engagement and growth in writing as a result. Our journals are now full of colorful, thoughtful work that students are proud to share.\r\n\r\nWe also truly appreciate the new light covers. Students noticed the difference immediately and described the classroom as \"calm,\" \"peaceful,\" and \"relaxing.\" This softer environment helps create a space where students feel comfortable, focused, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nYour generosity is helping us build a classroom that supports both academic growth and student well-being. We are so grateful for your investment in our learners.","fullyFundedDate":1769191331568,"projectUrl":"project/refill-and-readiness/9924961/","projectTitle":"Refill and Readiness","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Zollner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9392491_orig.jpg?crop=2080,2080,x360,y1130&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1702393845151","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9392491"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_89144","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":880,"numTeachers":50,"percentFrplEligible":13,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":91,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"2 - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"17.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":82.4,"schoolId":89144,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mars Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mars Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/mars-area-school-district/mars-elementary-school/89144"}
