We have had so much fun unpacking the materials, discussing the best place to put the vinyl, and then applying the vinyl around our building. \r\n\r\nFrom the day the boxes arrived, students were excited to lay it all out and start planning! They made a list of all the quotes and sayings with their sizes, and then laid the vinyl out flat. We had to wait until the end of August to start hanging the material, but it was worth the wait. \r\n\r\nPrior to the first day of school, hanging materials began. From cleaning glass to ensuring everything was straight, the process was thorough and meticulous. \r\n\r\nThe best part was when all the students arrived the first day and found the encouraging sayings hanging on walls and in bathroooms. Since then, the staff has shared how they like it as well as some parents that have had the opportunity to be in our building. Not only did it share positive thoughts and saying on the first day, but this is going to impact hundreds of kids and adults for years to come as they proudly stay hung around our building.","fullyFundedDate":1777405524730,"projectUrl":"project/kindness-sticks/10205012/","projectTitle":"Kindness Sticks","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lape","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9074650"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_88730","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":160,"numTeachers":21,"percentFrplEligible":72,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":13,"percentWhite":78,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"7.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":83.3,"schoolId":88730,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Verner Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Verner Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/riverview-school-district/verner-elementary-school/88730"}
