Because of you, my first graders now have seat sacks to help them stay organized, headphones to use with our Chromebooks, and I also received a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card to purchase engaging resources to enrich their learning.\r\n\r\nThe seat sacks are already making such a difference—students are keeping their materials neat and within reach, which helps them stay focused and ready to learn. The headphones allow each child to concentrate during online lessons, and it warms my heart to see how proud they are to use their own set. With the Teachers Pay Teachers gift card, I'm excited to bring in fresh, creative resources that will spark curiosity and meet the needs of all my learners.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has not only provided my students with tools they need to succeed but has also reminded me how many people believe in the power of education. We are so grateful for your generosity and for the joy and opportunities you've brought into our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1747333505951,"projectUrl":"project/seat-smarts-chair-pockets-and-headphone/9266266/","projectTitle":"Seat Smarts: Chair Pockets and Headphones for Student Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Montoya","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7819688_orig.jpg?crop=618,619,x0,y43&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1619469940477","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7819688"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_18159","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":512,"numTeachers":38,"percentFrplEligible":94,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":90,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":74.1,"schoolId":18159,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Emerson Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Emerson Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/amarillo-independent-school-district/emerson-elementary-school/18159"}
