I work with students in kindergarten through second grade who receive services in both general education and resource settings, including dyslexia support and inclusion. Your support means the world to us!\r\n\r\nThe supplies you've helped provide—like envelopes, red folders, page protectors, hanging file folders, and even tape—are essential in helping us stay organized and keep communication flowing smoothly between school and home. The envelopes ensure confidentiality for important documents like progress reports and IEPs, while the red folders and page protectors make sharing student information with general education teachers clear and efficient. The hanging file folders are already making it easier for us to find materials quickly in our resource room, and the tape is saving many well-used pages from falling apart!\r\n\r\nAnd of course, thank you for the Clorox wipes! Keeping our classroom clean and germ-free helps keep everyone healthy and learning.\r\n\r\nYour kindness directly impacts our daily work, and I can't thank you enough for helping us create a more organized, supportive, and safe learning environment.

Your support means so much to our club and will have a lasting impact on our ability to share and preserve the vibrant traditions of Ballet Folklórico within our school and community.\r\n\r\nAs a club dedicated to celebrating and honoring the rich cultural heritage of Mexican folkloric dance, having high-quality sound equipment is essential to our performances and practices. Music is the lifeblood of our art form—it guides every step, every turn, and every emotion we convey through dance. Your donation of speakers ensures that our students can fully immerse themselves in their routines, rehearse with clarity, and perform with confidence.\r\n\r\nFor many of our club members, Ballet Folklórico is more than just dance; it is a connection to their heritage, a source of pride, and a way to share their culture with others. Through our performances, we strive to educate our peers and our community about the diverse and colorful traditions of Mexico, from the spirited rhythms of Jalisco to the graceful elegance of Veracruz. Your contribution directly supports these efforts by enhancing the quality of our presentations and allowing us to better engage our audiences.\r\n\r\nYour generosity also speaks volumes about the value you place on arts education and cultural preservation. Supporting student organizations like ours sends a powerful message about the importance of investing in young people and their creative pursuits. Your kindness inspires us to work harder, dream bigger, and represent our culture with even greater enthusiasm.\r\n\r\nThe timing of your donation could not have been better. As we prepare for upcoming performances—both at school events and within the local community—your speakers will play a crucial role in bringing our routines to life. Whether it's a small practice session or a full-stage production, we now have the equipment to ensure that every note of music is heard and every dancer is in sync.\r\n\r\nIn addition to improving our technical capabilities, your gift has lifted our spirits and reminded us of the incredible support we have from individuals like you. It is donors like you who empower us to continue our mission and reach new heights. Please know that your contribution will be cherished and put to good use for years to come.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for your thoughtful and impactful donation. We would be delighted to invite you to one of our future performances so you can see firsthand the joy and energy your support has helped bring to life. Please let us know if there's an event you'd like to attend—we would love the opportunity to thank you in person.","fullyFundedDate":1724704203343,"projectUrl":"project/the-folklorico-must-go-on/8698011/","projectTitle":"The Folklorico Must Go On","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Nuno","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9479061_orig.jpg?crop=150,150,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725585767601","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9479061"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_15580","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":447,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":88,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":22,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":74,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"14.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":80.7,"schoolId":15580,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Central Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Central Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/duncanville-independent-school-district/central-elementary-school/15580"}
