We are a large AK-5th grade school in downtown Cedar Rapids with roughly 500 students. We see students daily in need of a change of pants for spills or accidents and several students a week for feminine hygiene products. Many people don't realize the effect of not having access to these items can impact a school day for students. Being able to provide a quick change of pants gets our students back to class faster, decreasing the amount of missed education. \r\n\r\nWe also see an impact mentally and emotionally with these students. We have a few families who do not always have access to clean clothing, often coming to school and needing to change. With your donations we have been able to provide an alternate set of clothing for these students and have been able to create a plan to wash and maintain the clothing they have at school. \r\n\r\nWhile granola bars may seem trivial they also make a big difference for students who are hungry between meals and may need just a little extra to make it through the day. Food insecurity is something many if our families face on a daily basis. Being able to provide that small snack can often times make or break a students day when they are struggling. \r\n\r\nYour donations have afforded students the opportunity to stay at school and in class as well as put a confident small on many students faces. I truly appreciate your consideration in our project and helping to keep our students at school.","fullyFundedDate":1763405108466,"projectUrl":"project/health-clinic/9733720/","projectTitle":"Health Clinic","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rachel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10270800"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_132652","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":494,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":89,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":20,"percentWhite":51,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":1,"percentMultiracialImputed":15,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":43.7,"schoolId":132652,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Trailside Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Trailside Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/iowa/cedar-rapids-community-school-district/trailside-elementary-school/132652"}
