Your support has made a significant difference in my ability to create an organized and welcoming classroom environment for my students.\r\n\r\nAs a third-grade teacher, I strive to make my classroom a space where students feel inspired, supported, and ready to learn. Organization plays a vital role in creating that kind of environment. Thanks to your kindness, I now have the tools and resources needed to achieve this goal. From storage solutions to teaching materials, your contributions have helped provide the foundation for a more structured and efficient learning space.\r\n\r\nThe items funded through this project will not only help me stay organized but will also teach my students valuable skills. With designated areas for supplies, labeled bins, and a system for keeping materials in order, my students will learn the importance of responsibility and teamwork. These lessons extend beyond the classroom and will serve them well in their daily lives.\r\n\r\nYour support also reflects a belief in the power of education and the importance of creating a positive learning environment. Knowing that there are people like you who care about the success of students, even from afar, is incredibly motivating. It reminds me of the broader community of individuals who are invested in the future of education and the well-being of children.\r\n\r\nI am excited to share with you the impact your generosity will have on my students. In the coming weeks, I plan to document the transformation of our classroom and highlight how these new organizational tools are making a difference. I'll be sure to share updates through DonorsChoose so you can see firsthand the joy and growth your support has brought to our classroom.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for believing in my vision and for helping to bring it to life. Your kindness has not only provided tangible resources but has also given me and my students a renewed sense of excitement and possibility.","fullyFundedDate":1733249570162,"projectUrl":"project/student-success-organizer-master-your/8671269/","projectTitle":"\"Student Success Organizer: Master Your Materials and Manage Your Time\"","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Marvie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9630452_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723019168729","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9630452"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_33816","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":813,"numTeachers":46,"percentFrplEligible":20,"percentAsian":18,"percentBlack":13,"percentWhite":38,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":19,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"17.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":76.1,"schoolId":33816,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Keene Mill Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Keene Mill Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/fairfax-county-public-schools/keene-mill-elementary-school/33816"}
