Many of them don't have the means to bring in their own school supplies from home. Because of your generous donation, these learners are able to rely on the supplies purchased through this project to complete their school work without the burden of having to consider if they have working markers, or a pencil with an eraser. Having the right materials to complete their work has a major impact on a student's day. \r\n\r\nThank you for choosing children from the community of Millbury for your donations. Donor's Choose projects directly impact the school and community at a grassroots level. I know many organizations are seeking financial assistance at all times, and I appreciate you choosing to support kids and their learning! \r\n\r\nThank you again.","fullyFundedDate":1746581027999,"projectUrl":"project/school-supplies/9194303/","projectTitle":"School Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Beckeman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1784248_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y232&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1675454015770","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1784248"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_40701","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":339,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":51,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":77,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"4 - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"11.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.9,"schoolId":40701,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about R.E.
