When I shared the new headphones with the students, they were so excited. They each claimed their favorite color and have been using them everyday. The students were also very excited to use the new iPad jacks to share books together using the app EPIC. \r\nThank you for bringing the joy of shared reading experiences into our classroom. Your kindness and generosity is greatly appreciated from myself and all of my first grade students.","fullyFundedDate":1733028753823,"projectUrl":"project/sharing-the-love-of-books-with-friends/8637451/","projectTitle":"Sharing the Love of Books With Friends","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Heslip","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1030578_orig.jpg?crop=1791,1791,x1163,y524&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723502541225","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1030578"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_4307","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":458,"numTeachers":20,"percentFrplEligible":9,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":62,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":21,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"22.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":94.9,"schoolId":4307,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Pleasant Valley Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Pleasant Valley Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/novato-unified-school-district/pleasant-valley-elementary-school/4307"}
