This will do so much for our school and community.\r\n\r\nOur school district no longer has a library. Furthermore, our community library has also been closed. This leaves our students with a lack of resources to use in growing their reading skills. Now that we have received the books and the backpacks, we will be able to create resources to combat that need. In addition to that, we will be able to create backpacks for both or ELL students and our non-ELL population. \r\n\r\nI would like to tank you again for your generous gift.","fullyFundedDate":1773430443360,"projectUrl":"project/backpacks-and-books/10080824/","projectTitle":"Backpacks and Books","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Dollar","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6636246"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_58526","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":194,"numTeachers":9,"percentFrplEligible":80,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":100,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"21.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":72.2,"schoolId":58526,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Gila Bend High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Gila Bend High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/gila-bend-unified-school-district-24/gila-bend-high-school/58526"}
