One of our first projects was a Kindness Rocks activity, where students painted messages of encouragement, friendship, and positivity on the flat stones. They took such pride in their designs and loved the idea that their artwork might brighten someone else's day. The students used the new Sharpies and paint palettes to add thoughtful words and bright patterns, and the canvases allowed those who wanted to create larger art pieces to express themselves even more deeply.","fullyFundedDate":1755447052642,"projectUrl":"project/ready-set-and-learn/9515828/","projectTitle":"Ready, Set and Learn","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Miramontes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9198539_orig.jpg?crop=360,360,x16,y4&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1692559716511","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9198539"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_26758","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":462,"numTeachers":19,"percentFrplEligible":57,"percentAsian":20,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":17,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":52,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"24.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":86.5,"schoolId":26758,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about G.H.
