Because of you, the students now have access to Legos, magnetic tiles, and a marble run that have truly transformed our \"Creative Play\" time each day. These materials will become a favorite part of our routine, giving students the chance to work together, solve problems, and use their imaginations in ways that textbooks simply cannot provide.\r\n\r\nWhen the boxes first arrived and we opened them, the excitement was overwhelming. Students' faces lit up, and they immediately started making plans for what they wanted to build. Some teamed up to create elaborate towers and bridges, while others experimented with how fast they could send marbles through the different tracks. It was pure joy to watch them dive in with so much curiosity and energy.\r\n\r\nThese resources will spark collaboration and creativity on a daily basis. Students who don't usually work together will join forces to design something amazing. Students will persevere through trial and error to bring their ideas to life. These moments will strengthen teamwork, problem-solving, and communication skills, all while making learning fun.\r\n\r\nYour gift will provide more than just building materials—it will give my students confidence, joy, and a place to explore their creativity. Thank you for investing in their growth and for making such a lasting impact in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1759188216853,"projectUrl":"project/playtime-with-a-purpose/9771400/","projectTitle":"Playtime with a Purpose","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Vesco","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2969726_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1504193109467","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrvesco"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_56651","usesÐǿմ«Ã½":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":446,"numTeachers":31,"percentFrplEligible":49,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":84,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":83.0,"schoolId":56651,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Frank Layden Elementary School on @Ðǿմ«Ã½:","schoolName":"Frank Layden Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kansas/frontenac-unified-school-district-249/frank-layden-elementary-school/56651"}
