With recent budget cuts, our school was unable to purchase a much needed reading resource for my students. Throughout the past few years, I have seen a lot of success with this program and I was scrambling to figure out a way to find the funds to continue it. Luckily, with donors like you, we are able to purchase it and continue to engage our students with an excellent resource.\r\n\r\nReading A-Z has been such a wonderful program for my students. Not only does it have high interest stories, but it is also leveled. So if I have two groups of students on different levels, we can all read about the same topic and discuss as a whole group. My students love the passages on Reading A-Z.\r\n\r\nThe students were also thrilled to get the new clock for the classroom. It is bright and colorful and not only tells the time, but also the date and temperature. My students love it and always make a wish at 11:11.\r\n\r\nThanks again for your classroom support.","fullyFundedDate":1758119014526,"projectUrl":"project/ready-set-read/9500379/","projectTitle":"Ready, Set, Read!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Presley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp198598_orig.jpg?crop=481,481,x0,y80&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1619446054375","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/amilburn"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_58969","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":543,"numTeachers":39,"percentFrplEligible":88,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":77,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"1 - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":77.8,"schoolId":58969,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Rosenwald - Dunbar Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Rosenwald - Dunbar Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kentucky/jessamine-county-school-district/rosenwald-dunbar-elementary-school/58969"}
