From the printer to the air filter, the items are greatly appreciated. The headphones for my students are the greatest gift ever. Students are able to listen to the correct pronounciation of words within assignments without interrupting others. We can print vivid pictures for the different ELA anchor charts. Within this project, students have been most grateful for the tangible items. Having highlighters to fully annotate papers (thanks again for the printer!) is a winner. Students have learned how to operate and change the filter within the machine. The last cleaning, students were surprised on how much dirt is collected in the air. I am thankful for the help and I always tell my colleagues how blessed my class was for the items received. You are loved, even without knowing who you are. Thank you forevermore.","fullyFundedDate":1736172972882,"projectUrl":"project/differentiated-learning/8659743/","projectTitle":"Differentiated Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bender","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9673957_orig.jpg?crop=1068,1068,x173,y368&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754624715792","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9673957"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_17398","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":195,"numTeachers":17,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":88,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"11.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":0.0,"schoolId":17398,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about N.H.
