Since they have arrived, the children have been excited and asking for me to put together programs, so they will be able to use them. \r\n\r\nThe risers have given us the ability to move our performance materials easily and safely. Parents are now able to see their children better than ever, and we are also able to use the risers for our graduation ceremonies and other school events! \r\n\r\nOur students have described them as fun and comfortable, and I am so blessed to have such a tremendous support system in my corner! Your donations are a testament to the potential the Music Program at E.M. Yoder Elementary has to grow and to achieve tremendous success!\r\n\r\nWe are again so thankful for this amazing gift that has been given to our students and to our school!

Since 2020, I have noticed a significant increase in children bringing reusable water bottles to school. As you can imagine, it isn't easy to refill them at school in the usual elementary school water fountains. Some kids were bringing plastic bottles from home to refill their reusable bottles. Our new refill station fills any bottle with chilled, filtered water! \r\n\r\nAccording to the counter on the refill station, we have already saved almost 1,700 disposable bottles from the landfill. I am excited to incorporate this information into my unit on environmental impacts and the small changes we can implement as a school that make an impact in our school, community, and world.","fullyFundedDate":1743003947543,"projectUrl":"project/reduce-and-reuse/9178269/","projectTitle":"Reduce AND Reuse!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cranford","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1082460_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y786&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1730488067812","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/fishingforagoodbook"},{"teacherId":5264293,"projectId":8942962,"letterContent":"Thank you so much again for supporting our school's project for our Outdoor Learning Environment and nature playground. We had a ribbon cutting for our new space last week and many students, families, and community members/leaders were able to attend. Our 4 new garden beds welcomed the crowd, already filled with soil and plants at the entrance to the playground. Once the ribbon was cut, students were playing tic tac toe on the ground together, giggling over Connect 4 rematches, and walking around in awe of the new space. A large chalkboard wall has been added to the outside of our gym for students to create with the chalk you provided. Once the event was over, our new storage cabinet housed materials until the next round of play can begin. \r\n\r\nWe are awaiting final permissions to share the space with our full classes during the day, but this is happening very soon. Our amazing PTA has already begun phase 2 fundraising to add even more incredible resources to this space in future years. Our students are SO excited for these new opportunities for play! They will have new ways to engage with nature, expand their creativity, and cooperate with one another. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1731852103437,"projectUrl":"project/recess-revamp/8942962/","projectTitle":"Recess Revamp!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Karboski","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5264293_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1532972830068","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrskarboski"},{"teacherId":1082460,"projectId":8914686,"letterContent":"I am so excited to share the amazing reaction kids have had to our new Nature Playground. The ribbon cutting was this past weekend and the students who attended were fascinated! It differs from our other play spaces, a \"regular\" playground and an open soccer field. \r\n\r\nBecause the play space is so different from what they are used to, it has allowed all sorts of kids to shine! This space accentuates and supports imagination AND large motor skills. Its a wonderful addition to our school! \r\n\r\nI am so happy that my community also saw the vision of a space for ALL kids and supported us financially. We couldn't have do it with out your gracious donation.","fullyFundedDate":1730922580339,"projectUrl":"project/readin-and-relaxin-a-lifelong-habit-s/8914686/","projectTitle":"Readin' and Relaxin': a Lifelong Habit Starts Now","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cranford","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1082460_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y786&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1730488067812","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/fishingforagoodbook"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_2198","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":309,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":47,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":16,"percentWhite":59,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":10,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":77.6,"schoolId":2198,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about E.M.
