Because of your donations, my students now have access to more materials that help them take ownership of their learning every single day. I've created a student-centered classroom environment where students are free to grab the tools they need, from headphones to notebooks to science supplies, whenever they need them. These resources aren't locked away or \"only for special occasions.\" They are part of our daily routines and student success strategies.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials arrived, we did a class unboxing and I wish you could've seen their faces. They were absolutely shocked and excited that people they didn't even know cared enough to invest in their education. That moment was unforgettable. They couldn't believe someone out there believed in them enough to help bring their learning environment to life.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, we're able to keep working toward a more student-led classroom, one filled with discussion, exploration, and hands-on engagement. Your support is helping us build a space where students don't just learn, they lead, create, and thrive. From all of us, thank you for being a part of our journey.","fullyFundedDate":1730939311447,"projectUrl":"project/creating-a-supportive-and-rewarding-clas/8920114/","projectTitle":"Creating a Supportive and Rewarding Classroom Environment.","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Melgoza","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9582955_orig.png?crop=348,348,x0,y73&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1730862823725","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9582955"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_36837","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":738,"numTeachers":42,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":17,"percentLatinx":78,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"17.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":62.1,"schoolId":36837,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Wapato Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Wapato Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/wapato-school-district-207/wapato-middle-school/36837"}
