Because of your donations, we were able to purchase new headphones for our Chromebooks and stools for small group learning. These resources have quickly become an essential part of our daily routines, and they are making a tremendous difference for both teaching and learning.\r\n\r\nThe headphones allow each child to stay focused during technology-based lessons, creating an environment where every student can engage at their own pace without distractions. The stools have transformed our small group time, giving students a comfortable and inviting place to gather, share, and learn together. These seemingly simple tools have enhanced our classroom in powerful ways, and I see the positive impact in my students' excitement and growth each day.\r\n\r\nYour generosity doesn't just provide classroom supplies—it enriches the experiences of every child who walks into our room. My students and I are so thankful for your kindness and investment in their education. Your support helps create a space where children feel engaged, supported, and inspired to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1752165068404,"projectUrl":"project/listen-learn-and-lead-headphones-st/9447106/","projectTitle":"Listen, Learn, and Lead: Headphones & Stools for Growing Minds!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gechuki","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5657380_orig.jpg?crop=2210,2210,x0,y139&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721692907882","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5657380"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_45914","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":495,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":26,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":72,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":78.5,"schoolId":45914,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Calvin S Smith Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Calvin S Smith Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/utah/granite-school-district/calvin-s-smith-elementary-school/45914"}
