Because of your kindness, my students now have a beautiful, colorful, and comfortable area rug where they can gather together to read, learn, and dream. Before the carpet arrived we were sitting on the laminate floor and it wasn't the most comfortable. When they first laid eyes on the rugs, they were so excited to see the colors and could not wait to sit on it! \r\n\r\nIt has truly transformed out classroom into a warm and welcoming space - a place where stories come alive and every child feels at home. The smiles on their faces when they sit down to read and learn new content says it all! P.S. They can't stop touching it when they sit, lol. We use the rugs every single day to read and grow together. \r\n\r\nYour support means more than words can express.

We write in them almost every single day - and they ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM!!\r\n\r\nEvery morning I have students asking \"are we having a scribble and shine today?\" as I sometimes rotate the days with other literacy activities. The kids are so excited to see their new creative prompt so they can share their thoughts, ideas, and stories. These journals have truly become a special part of our daily routine in helping my kiddos express themselves, build confidence in their writing, and start the day with creativity and reflection. \r\n\r\nYour contribution has truly made a difference. You didn't just provide supplies - you helped spark a love for writing that grows with every page they fill. We are so grateful for your kindness and for believing in the importance of giving students a space to make their voices heard.","fullyFundedDate":1753305598070,"projectUrl":"project/young-authors-in-action/9456178/","projectTitle":"Young Authors in Action","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. O","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9618314"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_15567","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":534,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":94,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":14,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":68,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":60.0,"schoolId":15567,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about South Hi Mount Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"South Hi Mount Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/fort-worth-independent-school-district/south-hi-mount-elementary-school/15567"}
