It's remarkable to think that an anonymous person would care about these students so much that they would share such generosity. When I told my students, their surprised smiles certainly reflected this sentiment.\r\n\r\nWith your wonderful contribution, these students were able to do so much. We purchased green poly folders, which allowed them to proudly present their writing as an organized portfolio. Ideally, when students exit 7th grade, they should be able to see a remarkable improvement in their writing overall and feel a sense of achievement. Additionally, students are writing poetry and reflective pieces in their journals using the small notebooks that were donated. And each day, we are thankful for the red home/ school communication folders, which we use four organizing daily and weekly tasks as well as informing parents about progress. Because if you, students are more creative and successful.","fullyFundedDate":1756326695993,"projectUrl":"project/equipping-everyone-for-excellence-seven/9539917/","projectTitle":"Equipping Everyone for Excellence: Seventh Grade Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dado","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10113264_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754414915593","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10113264"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_74417","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":552,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":80,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":70,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":21,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"24.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":82.9,"schoolId":74417,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mark Twain Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mark Twain Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/mark-twain-union-elementary-school-district/mark-twain-elementary-school/74417"}
