Your donations have made a meaningful difference in our students' learning experiences.\r\nThe headphones you provided were especially helpful during state testing, as several portions of the assessments included audio components. Having access to reliable headphones allowed students to focus, hear instructions clearly, and complete their tests with confidence. The headphones have also been used regularly during classwork that involves educational videos, helping students stay engaged and minimizing distractions.\r\nOur students were also incredibly grateful for the oil pastels. They were excited to explore new artistic techniques and eagerly created beautiful pieces of artwork for their families. Many students chose to draw colorful flowers and mountain scenes, taking great pride in their creations. The oil pastels inspired creativity and self-expression, and several students have even asked to use them more often during art activities because they enjoyed working with them so much.\r\nYour generosity has provided our students with valuable tools that support both their academic success and creative growth. Thank you for investing in our classroom and helping create enriching learning opportunities for every student.","fullyFundedDate":1776138750366,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-supplies/10164577/","projectTitle":"Classroom Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Abitz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7490063_orig.jpg?crop=1206,1205,x0,y393&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1655405867035","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7490063"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_58898","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":518,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":59,"percentAsian":9,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":29,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":55,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"18.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":86.3,"schoolId":58898,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about River Oaks Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"River Oaks Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/galt-joint-union-elementary-school-district/river-oaks-elementary-school/58898"}
