We truly appreciate it! We have set up the rug in block center and the kids are enjoying having a new bright rug to play with cars on. They are setting up cities and rolling cars all over! We also have been using the Swiffer to help clean up after snack time. Being that we have young kids they tend to make a mess when they eat in the classroom so it is so nice to be able to quickly clean up after them. \r\nUnfortunately, with the weather recently in Louisiana we have not been able to se up the tables on the playground yet. As soon as we are able to set them up I am sure the kids will start using them. Especially having the umbrellas to cover them when it starts warming up during the spring time! We have told them that we will have new tables outside soon and they are very excited to see them! \r\nAgain, thanks for everything and please know everything will go to great use at our school! The kids we have this year and the future students will love everything we got from you!","fullyFundedDate":1733778782703,"projectUrl":"project/prek-classroom/8899053/","projectTitle":"Prek Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Deville","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9760453"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_24643","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":431,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":68,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":25,"percentWhite":71,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"17.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":78.3,"schoolId":24643,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Port Barre Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Port Barre Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/louisiana/st-landry-parish-school-district/port-barre-elementary-school/24643"}
