Your kindness and support have made a meaningful and immediate impact on the well-being of our students.\r\nBecause of your donation, students now have access to essential items such as soap, deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and other personal care products. For many of our students, these supplies are not always readily available at home. Your generosity helps ensure they can come to school feeling clean, confident, and ready to learn.\r\nAccess to basic hygiene items may seem small, but it plays a critical role in a student's physical health, emotional well-being, and self-esteem. By meeting this fundamental need, you are helping reduce barriers to learning and creating a more supportive and inclusive school environment.\r\nWe are truly grateful for your compassion and commitment to supporting our school community. Your donation sends a powerful message to our students—that they are valued, cared for, and supported by people who believe in their success.\r\nThank you again for making a positive difference in the lives of our students. We could not do this important work without partners like you.","fullyFundedDate":1763212716720,"projectUrl":"project/counselors-care-closet/9651788/","projectTitle":"Counselor's Care Closet","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hale","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9717583_orig.png?crop=398,398,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1738342612294","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9717583"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_67612","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":559,"numTeachers":35,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":62,"percentWhite":21,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":60.8,"schoolId":67612,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Dye Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Dye Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/carman-ainsworth-community-school-district/dye-elementary-school/67612"}
