Readers expressed their understanding and imagination by creating artwork inspired by Peter Brown's illustrations, blending reading comprehension with creativity and self-expression.\r\n\r\nBecause of this support, students who might not have otherwise engaged deeply with reading found joy, confidence, and a sense of belonging through both books and art.","fullyFundedDate":1754925817919,"projectUrl":"project/the-story-studio-presents-the-wild-robo/9570205/","projectTitle":"The Story Studio Presents: The Wild Robot Protects","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Monroe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1398244"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_12065","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":445,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":37,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":60,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":39,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":84.6,"schoolId":12065,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Poth Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Poth Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/poth-independent-school-district/poth-elementary-school/12065"}
