Your support has made a remarkable difference in the way our students engage with learning every day. Color ink allows us to create visually rich materials that are not only more appealing but also more accessible for students with diverse learning needs. From color-coded schedules that help students navigate their day with confidence, to behavior charts that reinforce positive choices, and differentiated worksheets that highlight key concepts—your donation has empowered us to tailor instruction in ways that truly resonate with our learners.\r\n\r\nFor many of our students, especially those with autism, ADHD, or learning disabilities, color is more than just decoration—it's a powerful tool for comprehension, organization, and emotional regulation. The ability to print in color helps us implement multisensory strategies that improve focus, reduce anxiety, and foster independence. It transforms ordinary handouts into dynamic learning aids that spark curiosity and encourage participation.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, we can continue to provide a classroom environment that is inclusive, engaging, and responsive to each student's individual needs. Your donation is not just ink—it's opportunity, creativity, and connection. On behalf of our students and staff, thank you for helping us make learning more meaningful and joyful.","fullyFundedDate":1746786264465,"projectUrl":"project/ink-for-the-kids/9252414/","projectTitle":"Ink for the Kids!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Quintanilla Medrano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9997333_orig.jpg?crop=648,648,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753401032059","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9997333"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_8336","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":662,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":95,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":null,"schoolId":8336,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hurla M Midkiff Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hurla M Midkiff Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/mission-consolidated-independent-school-district/midkiff-elementary-school/8336"}
