Your support has already made a positive impact on my students.\r\n\r\nWe recently used the materials to create kitchen safety posters, and the results were wonderful! Students were excited to have the right supplies at their fingertips, bright markers, poster boards, and other materials to bring their ideas to life. They worked together to design creative and informative posters that highlighted the importance of safe practices in the kitchen, such as proper handwashing, handling knives carefully, and preventing cross-contamination.\r\n\r\nNot only did this activity strengthen their understanding of kitchen safety, but it also gave them the chance to express themselves creatively. The posters are now displayed in our classroom as reminders of what they've learned, and the students are very proud of their work.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has provided more than just supplies, it has given my students the tools to learn, create, and feel proud of their accomplishments. Thank you again for investing in their education and for helping make our classroom a brighter place to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1754852458287,"projectUrl":"project/let-them-cook/9441508/","projectTitle":"Let Them Cook!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Perkins","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8534237_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751376610908","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8534237"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_48057","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1180,"numTeachers":64,"percentFrplEligible":29,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":17,"percentWhite":58,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":10,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"18.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":80.0,"schoolId":48057,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Swift Creek Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Swift Creek Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/chesterfield-county-public-schools/swift-creek-middle-school/48057"}
