Because of your support, my students have more than just \"tools\" and \"snacks\"-they have the comfort and care they need to truly thrive each day.\r\n\r\nWhen the boxes of sensory toys arrived, the excitement was electric. These toys have become highly coveted PBIS rewards, turning positive behavior into a celebration. Watching a student's face light up as they earn a fidget or sensory tool is a powerful reminder of how small incentives can build a joyful culture of hard work and kindness.\r\n\r\nThe snack options have been a complete game-changer for our learning environment. Whether it's a student who missed breakfast and needs that initial boost to focus, or those who have worked tirelessly and just need something to \"fill the void\" after a long morning, these snacks have provided the fuel they need to take on the day. Knowing their basic needs are met allows them to stop worrying about being hungry and start focusing on being students.\r\n\r\nYour donation did more than fund a project; it showed my students that there is a community behind them, rooting for their success. Thank you for helping create a classroom that is safe, supportive, and ready to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1764781137519,"projectUrl":"project/motivational-magic/9833950/","projectTitle":"Motivational Magic","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ingram","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9309222"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_39461","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":7,"numTeachers":1,"percentFrplEligible":28,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":60,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":20,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"7.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":39461,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Willadsen Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Willadsen Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/wyoming/laramie-county-school-district-1/willadsen-elementary-school/39461"}
