Because of your kindness, we were able to purchase a wide variety of high-quality books that allowed our students to dive deeply into important periods of American history, including Colonial America, the American Revolution, the Civil War, the Gold Rush, and the Oregon Trail.\r\n\r\nOur students attend a rural school district with limited access to resources, and your donations truly helped bring history to life for them. Instead of just reading from a textbook, students explored rich stories, primary ideas, and perspectives that made history meaningful and exciting. Every student engaged with historical topics and continues to embark on a journey through America's past with curiosity and enthusiasm.\r\n\r\nWe began our adventure with a small wax museum in class and book reports, where students proudly shared what they learned. Looking ahead, we are excited to host a Trades Fair focused on traditional jobs, helping students understand how people lived and worked during different historical time periods. This May, we hope to go explore a real fort and go gold pan. \r\n\r\nYour support put history directly into the hands of our kids, and the impact will last far beyond this school year. Thank you for believing in our students and for helping us create memorable, hands-on learning experiences.","fullyFundedDate":1762089205437,"projectUrl":"project/history-in-4th-grade-and-beyond/9515466/","projectTitle":"History in 4th Grade and Beyond!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. B","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8530594"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_87751","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":320,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":85,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":79,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"14.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":56.9,"schoolId":87751,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Highland Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Highland Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/oregon/reedsport-school-district-105/highland-elementary-school/87751"}
