We have been working to support staff and students. Families are struggling to be able to provide for their families too.

It was so great to see them use them and not get frustrated as they did with our old headphones when the microphones wouldn't pick up their voices. \r\n\r\nThe white boards were another big hit. The ones we had were cracked and stained. Now they can write on a clean board and see their letters clearly. Additionally, the Bingo games made working on their sight words extra enjoyable and the prize box supplies were a definite hit!\r\n\r\nFor my next project, I'm hoping to get a color printer and a couple of additional iPads. The color printer would be perfect for printing realistic pictures for the students to talk and write about in their new journals.","fullyFundedDate":1740882092280,"projectUrl":"project/el-language-and-literacy/9132626/","projectTitle":"EL Language and Literacy","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kush","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7832086_orig.jpg?crop=1932,1932,x0,y322&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1628358946060","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7832086"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_62183","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":225,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":59,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":11,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":71,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":65.2,"schoolId":62183,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mesa Arts Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mesa Arts Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/arizona-department-of-education/mesa-arts-academy/62183"}
