We have just learned the basic stitches, but I love seeing their confidence growing and what a great life skill to learn. Some of my older students have really loved helping the younger students learn the techniques and it is fun to see them take home their projects to work on the bus or while they are watching TV at night.","fullyFundedDate":1747015010262,"projectUrl":"project/creative-crocheting/9265688/","projectTitle":"Creative Crocheting","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Nikirk","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1399306_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1474838776020","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-nikirk"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_78293","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":5,"numTeachers":1,"percentFrplEligible":0,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":60,"percentIndigenous":40,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"5.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":32.5,"schoolId":78293,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Spring Creek School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Spring Creek School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/montana/decker-school-district-1/spring-creek-school/78293"}
