Your gift of color paper, markers, crayons, and a laminating machine has transformed how we teach and engage our students.\r\n\r\nThese materials have made our instruction more meaningful and hands-on, allowing students to participate in activities that celebrate their unique voices and abilities. For many of our non-verbal students, self-expression through art has become a powerful tool for communication and connection. We have watched their faces light up as they draw, color, and cut out pictures—activities that give them agency and joy in their learning. The laminating machine has allowed us to create durable literacy binders that students use daily, extending the life and impact of their creative work.\r\n\r\nYour donation has not only enhanced our classroom experience but has also reinforced an important message to our students: their voices matter, their creativity is valued, and they have the ability to express themselves in meaningful ways.\r\nThank you for believing in our students and investing in their growth. Your generosity continues to make a lasting difference in their lives.","fullyFundedDate":1769438741211,"projectUrl":"project/self-expression-activities-in-special-ed/9918644/","projectTitle":"Self-expression Activities in Special Education","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Reyes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10234157_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1770145991361","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10234157"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_6306","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":450,"numTeachers":32,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":84,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":41.0,"schoolId":6306,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sheridan Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sheridan Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/south-carolina/orangeburg-county-school-district/sheridan-elementary-school/6306"}
