I received a whiteboard and some goldfish crackers. I am grateful to at least receive that as a donation. I am confounded by the fact that I cannot speak to a live person to help with the delivery issues we have at our school. We cannot receive packages from USPS, so most of the items were returned to the senders. I'm not sure where the funds are being held or if it was re-distributed, but the items have never reached my school. Thank you for your generous heart and good intentions.","fullyFundedDate":1757907644557,"projectUrl":"project/stocking-new-classroom/9354069/","projectTitle":"Stocking New Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Pitts","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5712692_orig.jpg?crop=1920,1920,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1626743692781","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5712692"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_17005","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":465,"numTeachers":20,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":68,"percentWhite":17,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"23.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":62.2,"schoolId":17005,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Collins Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Collins Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/mississippi/covington-county-school-district/collins-elementary-school/17005"}
