Without your support we would have been set back due to the funds needed. It is because of your generosity that our students were able to dive into the research with full confidence and support using the tools and equipment provided through your donations. \r\n\r\nAs soon as our chicken coops arrived our research team got to work and started building them. Making them an instant hit. Our research team was excited and ready to get to work. The main purpose of this research was to help with the reduction of male chicks being disposed of after hatching due to their inability to produce eggs. By being able to identify male and female eggs before being incubated, farmers will be able to avoid having to get rid of the male chicks. In our research after the chicks hatched the chicken coops were their safe home. Chickens were kept in the coops and protected from outside predators and ensured their safety. \r\n\r\nFor further use of the items donated our research team will continue to work with this topic and will continue to shelter our chicks until they are ready to release with local farmers. Again thank you so much and we will forever be grateful for you support and contribution.","fullyFundedDate":1660060159112,"projectUrl":"project/filling-the-research-gaps/6636962/","projectTitle":"Filling the Research Gaps","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Soliz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8130717_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1636661219898","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8130717"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_8266","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":625,"numTeachers":53,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":100,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"11.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":88.7,"schoolId":8266,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Irene Garcia Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Irene Garcia Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/la-joya-independent-school-district/irene-garcia-middle-school/8266"}
