It means so much and is such a blessing. The organization tools have helped me immensely. Getting my week organized and ready to go is now so much easier. It really helps with having a safe place for everything to go. The storage bins and cubby insert for my students have also been really great to have. My students were so excited when they saw their new fancy cubby holders! Also, the magnets for my board where I can put objectives and \"I will..\" statements has been an awesome presentation tool. It really displays it all so nicely and in a fun way. \r\n\r\nMy students were most excited about my new reading chair, station activities, and the wiggle seat! They have been using them all the time ever since I have gotten them out. It's a fun way to incentivize and allow them to be expressive. \r\n\r\nAgain, thank you again for your kindness and gratitude. This is an awesome program to help new teachers like me. Every donation is highly appreciated and put to great use for these growing little minds!","fullyFundedDate":1733165977785,"projectUrl":"project/gonzales-leveling-up-the-classroom/8557733/","projectTitle":"Gonzales - Leveling Up the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gonzales","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9628300"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_14001","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":343,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":71,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":31,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":57,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":92.9,"schoolId":14001,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Brazos Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Brazos Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/brazos-independent-school-district/brazos-elementary-school/14001"}
