These materials also encouraged students to step away from their phones and engage with their peers in meaningful ways.\r\nOur library serves as more than just a place for books and studying, it is a welcoming community space where students from all grade levels came to socialize, decompress, and recharge during the school day. This project helped foster stronger peer connections, reduce stress, and create a positive atmosphere where students felt comfortable and included. Supporting students' social and emotional well-being was just as important as supporting their academic growth, and this project helped accomplish both.","fullyFundedDate":1730563758772,"projectUrl":"project/brain-teasers-in-the-library/8912921/","projectTitle":"Brain Teasers in the Library!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Modeen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9454218"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_43845","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":337,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":50,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":74,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":15,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"9.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":78.4,"schoolId":43845,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Terryville High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Terryville High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/connecticut/plymouth-public-school-district/terryville-high-school/43845"}
