All the snacks that you have given have ensured that every child in the classroom gets a snack. Many children have used the social emotional learning books and items that we now have for them to use in the classroom, if they get anxious or nervous. We have had several kids with attendance problems. They have been using the social emotional learning tools more now that we have them in the room, and I will say that their attendance has improved, and we have won many classroom attendance awards. The students were so excited when we received your donations. They could not believe the items as they kept coming in the mail. I let them open the boxes and take out the items. You have truly made a difference in the lives of the children in this classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1762267477418,"projectUrl":"project/ms-mejorados-3rd-grade-class/9848861/","projectTitle":"Ms. Mejorado's 3rd Grade Class","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mejorado","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp6121395_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1548189860849","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lyons-jb23"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_68464","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":242,"numTeachers":15,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":10,"percentBlack":20,"percentWhite":29,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":25,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"16.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":80.0,"schoolId":68464,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lyons Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lyons Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/lansing-school-district/lyons-ave-elementary-school/68464"}
