Thank you for being so generous and fully funding Dignity without Question. Thanks to you, I was able to put together 30 period packs including pads and underwear that are ready for students who need them.

We have also been able to supply our middle and high school bathrooms with additional period supplies. \r\n\r\nWe were also using small 4x6 warm packs for cramping pain and it is SO nice to have received the larger gel packs that can be reused as needed. \r\n\r\nI got to have the puberty talk with the fifth and sixth grade students last week and it was amazing to be able to tell them about the supplies we have available thanks to your help. Many of them are new to this period process, so it was nice to demystify some of the concerns they had. \r\n\r\nThanks again for your amazing generosity!","fullyFundedDate":1774885759230,"projectUrl":"project/dignity-without-question/10115948/","projectTitle":"Dignity Without Question","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Schrader","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10440568"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_63900","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":199,"numTeachers":19,"percentFrplEligible":46,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":80,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"10.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":43.3,"schoolId":63900,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Byron Center Charter School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Byron Center Charter School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/michigan-department-of-education/byron-center-charter-school/63900"}
