Your contribution is invaluable and I thank you immensely for your support! \r\nI am reaching out to thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for donating our wireless, open-ear speaker headphones. Because of your generous donation, we were able to accomplish the following: \r\n\r\n•\tMy hearing-impaired student can hear the instructions on our classroom computers without issue. \r\n•\tMy students with glasses can keep their glasses on while using the computers, especially during our reading assessment testing.\r\n•\tAll of my students can get through sessions on the computers during individually targeted instruction with comfort.\r\n\r\nNone of this would have been possible without you and your dedication to our community. We are eternally grateful for your support of the Rau School community. \r\nI cannot thank you enough and I appreciate your dedication to making our school great.","fullyFundedDate":1732636462576,"projectUrl":"project/functional-headphones-for-students/8843522/","projectTitle":"Functional Headphones for Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Halvorson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9785511"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_78674","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":72,"numTeachers":6,"percentFrplEligible":21,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":90,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"12.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":null,"schoolId":78674,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Rau Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Rau Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/montana/rau-school-district-21/rau-elementary-school/78674"}
