For example, some of my strugglers in kinder and first grade were super excited about the new Pigeon, Pete the Cat and Biscuit books and were helping each other sound out the words. Seeing the smiles and the giggles on their faces was priceless. They were boosting with confidence and eager to learn and seek their greater potential. \r\n\r\nYour commitment has truly transformed the learning experience and strengthened their communication skills, critical thinking and the enjoyment of the board games and puzzles and will continue to benefit future students for years to come. Thank you again for investing in our library and the future of our students.","fullyFundedDate":1757943696089,"projectUrl":"project/fun-stations/9695434/","projectTitle":"Fun Stations","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Elhayek","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10247248"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_74610","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1318,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":46,"percentAsian":10,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":35,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":45,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":84.2,"schoolId":74610,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Heritage K-8 Charter School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Heritage K-8 Charter School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/escondido-union-elementary-school-district/heritage-k-8-charter-school/74610"}
