The ability to focus on individual tasks without distractions has also enhanced their concentration during assessments or independent work.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the headphones are beneficial during group projects and virtual learning sessions, enabling students to participate in online activities and collaborate more effectively. With the addition of these headphones, students have better access to multimedia resources, ensuring that they can fully immerse themselves in lessons that require audio or visual components.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for your thoughtful gift. Your generosity is truly appreciated, and it will have a lasting impact on our students' educational journey. We look forward to seeing the continued positive effects this donation will have on their learning and growth.","fullyFundedDate":1727470882620,"projectUrl":"project/ms-grooms-class-headphones/8819562/","projectTitle":"Ms. Groom's Class Headphones","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Groom","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9777463_orig.jpg?crop=465,465,x140,y242&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727216344987","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9777463"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_55097","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":439,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":66,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":26,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":68,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"15.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":73.3,"schoolId":55097,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Centennial Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Centennial Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/flowing-wells-unified-school-district/centennial-elementary-school/55097"}
