Your generosity truly means so much to us.\r\n\r\nOur students with learning disabilities were so happy to receive your donations. Seeing their smiles and excitement was incredibly special. We are a small school in a very remote area of Alaska, and sometimes we receive very limited support from sponsors or organizations. That's why your kindness makes such a big difference in our classroom.\r\n\r\nThe students especially love the SOUR PATCH and the other snacks. They enjoy having them during math class and our one-on-one intervention time. Something as simple as a snack brings them comfort, motivation, and joy while they learn.\r\nAs their teacher, it fills my heart with happiness to see my kids enjoying both learning and the treats you shared with us. Thank you for thinking of our little school so far away.\r\n\r\nWe truly appreciate you. I hope you and your family are always blessed with kindness and happiness, just as you have blessed us.","fullyFundedDate":1766524306825,"projectUrl":"project/strategy-to-success/9889053/","projectTitle":"Strategy to Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Bryan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10347853_orig.png?crop=1140,1140,x0,y7&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1772736439338","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10347853"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_51996","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":30,"numTeachers":3,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":100,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"10.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":0.0,"schoolId":51996,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mentasta Lake Katie John School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mentasta Lake Katie John School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alaska/alaska-gateway-school-district/mentasta-lake-katie-john-school/51996"}
