They eagerly gathered around, guessing what might be inside and cheering as we unpacked scissors, snacks, and all the new materials. Many of my students come from environments where resources are limited, so seeing brand-new items meant just for them was incredibly meaningful. Their joy and gratitude were unmistakable, and several students said they felt \"so special\" because someone cared enough to support our class.\r\n\r\nSince receiving the supplies, we've incorporated them into our daily learning routines. The scissors are used every single day during hands-on activities, interactive reading tasks, and our fine-motor skill projects. The daily snacks have made a huge difference in helping students stay focused and energized throughout the day—especially during longer instructional periods where many of them previously struggled with hunger and distraction.\r\n\r\nLooking forward, we are beginning a project that involves creating interactive learning notebooks, where students will cut, build, and design personalized resource books they can reference throughout the year. Because of the materials you provided, my students can participate fully and confidently in every step of the process. Your generosity has not only changed our classroom supplies—it has changed the way my students see themselves. We are so grateful for your support, and we can't wait to share the growth and accomplishments ahead.","fullyFundedDate":1757684852427,"projectUrl":"project/mission-possible/9384331/","projectTitle":"Mission: Possible","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Taylor","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10045625_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1748475324731","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10045625"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_39031","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":722,"numTeachers":50,"percentFrplEligible":79,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":92,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"14.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":62.5,"schoolId":39031,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about East Fairmont High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"East Fairmont High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/west-virginia/marion-county-school-district/east-fairmont-high-school/39031"}
