The difference you made in my students lives you will never know! They so greatly appreciated the food and supplies. They have really opened up and felt safe in my room and the snacks have been a contributing factor in that. They have also really loved laminating the work they are proud of especially since the work is sometimes really hard for them. \r\n Many of the student that I work with on a daily basis come to school having not ate. Your contribution has helped them be better students in many different ways. I am hoping that since my students feel safe to talk and open up that they will continue to do so. I have always told my students I don't have all the answers but I am willing to listening and find answered when they need them. Your contribution is helping that continue.","fullyFundedDate":1731164627199,"projectUrl":"project/making-a-difference/8922981/","projectTitle":"Making A Difference","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Vande Weerd","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9827832"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_51847","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":487,"numTeachers":32,"percentFrplEligible":38,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":71,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"15.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":0.0,"schoolId":51847,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Le Mars Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Le Mars Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/iowa/le-mars-community-school-district/le-mars-middle-school/51847"}
