A special thank you to Ripple for their generous matching of donations, which doubled the impact of this funding. Your commitment has had an immediate and profound impact on my students, transforming their learning environment into a vibrant hub of innovation. The most immediate sign of this success? My 5th graders are now consistently seeking to come to my classroom, arriving early in the mornings and even stopping by during afternoon dismissal to ask if they can come to my classroom. This enthusiasm speaks volumes—you haven't just funded a project; you've fueled a genuine desire for learning and engagement that keeps our students coming back for more.\r\n\r\nThe resources your donation provided are directly enabling the skills we hoped to foster. Students are actively exploring and creating, pushing the boundaries of what they believe is possible by freely using their imagination. Every day, I see impressive acts of collaboration with their peers, whether they are working together to refine a plan for a design challenge or simply carrying on conversations. By investing in this project, you are giving my current and future 5th grade students the space and tools they need to practice critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication—the essential qualities of the thinkers and innovators of tomorrow. Thank you again for making this work possible.","fullyFundedDate":1757974454927,"projectUrl":"project/ignite-curiosity-and-build-thinkers/9613844/","projectTitle":"Ignite Curiosity and Build Thinkers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Jacobs","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9584453_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755955372437","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9584453"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_104963","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":54,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":28,"percentWhite":47,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":85.8,"schoolId":104963,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about East Point Academy - Elementary Campus on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"East Point Academy - Elementary Campus","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/south-carolina/south-carolina-public-charter-school-district/east-point-academy-elementary/104963"}
