While these may seem like small things, they helped students stay engaged. Having tissues and hand sanitizer available also helped students, it cause less need to leave the classroom. \r\n\r\nOverall, these materials helped create a more supportive and welcoming learning environment. Your support truly made a difference for my students, and I am very grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1758819456871,"projectUrl":"project/charged-and-ready-to-go/9564002/","projectTitle":"Charged and Ready to Go!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hottois","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9785404"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_21900","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1235,"numTeachers":130,"percentFrplEligible":68,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":10,"percentWhite":66,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":10,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"8 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"9.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":79.3,"schoolId":21900,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Kenmore West High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Kenmore West High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/kenmore-town-of-tonawanda-union-free-school-district/kenmore-west-senior-high-school/21900"}
