Thanks to your support, I was able to provide my students with the tools they need to succeed academically, especially those with dyslexia who face unique challenges in their learning journey.\r\nThe essential binders have made a profound difference in my classroom. These binders help my students stay organized and give them a sense of independence and confidence in their learning. Each binder is tailored to meet the specific needs of my dyslexic students, with clear, structured sections that help them process information in a way that works best for them. The combination of visual aids, color-coded sections, and accessible content has helped my students retain and organize critical information, which has been an enormous help in their overall academic performance.\r\nThe impact has been especially noticeable in their ability to stay engaged and motivated. With the tools provided by your donations, my students are better equipped to navigate their learning challenges and can now tackle reading and writing tasks with greater ease. They no longer feel overwhelmed by disorganization and are more confident in their ability to succeed.\r\nBeyond the academic improvements, I have seen a boost in their self-esteem and sense of agency in their learning process. They now see themselves as capable learners, which is the most rewarding outcome I could hope for. The change has been truly remarkable, and I owe it all to your kindness and belief in the power of education.\r\nThe students were excited to transition their work into the binders. They have plenty of space to work out of them!\r\nThank you once again for your incredible generosity. Your support is making a lasting impact, not only on the academic success of my students but on their futures as well. I will continue to use the binders and the structure they provide to help my students thrive and reach their fullest potential.","fullyFundedDate":1732314790268,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-futures-essential-binders-fo/8734593/","projectTitle":"Empowering Futures: Essential Binders for Dyslexia Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Villarreal","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9608234"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_11828","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":648,"numTeachers":38,"percentFrplEligible":92,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":8,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":89,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"17.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":50.0,"schoolId":11828,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about John H Shary Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"John H Shary Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/sharyland-independent-school-district/john-h-shary-elementary-school/11828"}
